870 Super Mag..Wood or Synthetic

ILAntlrAddct · 09-05-2009, 05:35 PM

Im looking at getting a 12ga. Remington 870 Super Mag combo but dont know if I should go with wood or synthetic. What are the real advantages of one over the other? What is your preference? I would opt for the camo but they do not offer a 870 super mag combo in camo.

Does anyone know what Walmart wants for a 870 super mag combo? With the $30 MIR Remington is offering now it would be worth jumping on!

Well, when I got one a few years back I wanted the wood and got the wood. In fact I paid extra for it to get it from a gun shop. The gun shop was a lot more than Wal-Mart but could get the wood one. To be honest, I wasn't super impressed with the wood on it but I still think it looked better than synthetic. The synthetic would probably be better if you will be hunting a lot with it as it wont get scratched near as easily.

To be honest though I didn't like that gun very much and I'd look at other guns. It always seemed to have a jamming problem. After getting the chamber polished it was better but didn't seem perfect still. It was a okay gun but I just didn't like it all that well as it never seemed that great. The quality of the finish on the gun didn't seem all that great either.
