RE: remington 870
that is a pretty good deal for a workhorse of a firearm. i have three 870's and two of them were passed down to me from my dad after being passed on to him from his. these guns have been worked. my 870 i duck hunt with when i take a pump has been used for about everything, gun, oar, club, crutch and it still works flawlessly. as for the black, by the time the ducks would be able to pick out a black shotgun it is too late for them. camo on shotguns is more for the hunter than the hunted. although i like it because it seems to protect the finish better.
