Seems like Remington really has a lack of quality control now adays. That coupled with the fact they seem to put their name on some guns like the 770 that just aren't that great just makes them not look like that great of a company anymore.
Problem is they still call it an 870. I shot clays with a fella who had a 20 870 he bought in the early 80's. I asked him if it came from the custom shop. He said "What?...I bought this at a hardware store"
Prettiest piece of barred walnut ever, fore-end too. That's what sickens me the most about Remington. I've got a late 70's 700 BBL that is awesome. Cant touch it today with that stuff off the rack. I'd still be loyal is they did..
