Anybody a fan of the Remington 870 Express?

So i recently purchased my second Remington 870 express magnum combo (Includes the bird and slug barrel). I absolutely love that gun. I was just wondering if there is anyone else out there who shares my love for this gun? Or is there any other type you would suggest?

I have several 870wingmasters and they are by far my favorite shotgun.....

I have to admit that I have a problem. I am an addict of the Remington 870. I have a problem not shooting and harvesting turkeys with mine when they walk in front of me during the month of May in New York State. I just can't seem to put my 870down while waiting for strutting toms to come within shooting distance. I don't know if there is a cure for this problem and I'm not sure that I want there to be a cure.

I don't think you'll find anybody who'll say a bad thing about the 870. I have one and it just plain works no matter what!!! I will never be without at least one in my gun cabinet.

I own one since 1997. Never had any problems and always wipe it down after a hunt.

I bought the same package 2 years ago and really like it. Did have a problem with it shooting the cheap Estate target loads out of the smooth bore barrel. The metal rings on the Estate shells would expend and get stuck in the chamber. I switched to better quality target loads and did not have that problem any more.

Mounted a Nikon Prostaff 2-7x 32mm shotgun scope on the cantilever barrel that worked out really well. Shot three deer the first year with it from ranges of 30-110 yards.

no flys on the 870. it's the number one selling shotgun in america (and has been for almost 30 years).
