ORIGINAL: Hunting the North
A few years backI purchased a Remington 870 Express Magnum combo from Gander Mountain. Package included a 28” smooth bore barrel and a 23” rifled barrel with a cantilever scope mount. I mounted a Nikon Pro-Staff 2-7x 32mm shotgun scope on the slug barrel. I have been extremely happy with the whole package including the scope. Shoots 2 ¾” – 3 ½ " shells. Slug barrel is very accurate. I shot this 200 pound doe through the heart at 110 yards with a Hornady SST. See attached photo.

I bought my son the combo without the cantilever barrel and shoot thesame ammo. It is accurate and light weight and I like it alot. I am going to be getting me one with the cantelever barrel andthumbhole stock eventually and I will be getting him a catelever barrel as well. Remington makes a very solid performer, two thumbs way up!
