The 887 has received scathing reviews everywhere. Randy Wakeman, who IS a shotgun expert cannot believe Remington let this model leave the factory. Google Randy Wakeman Outdoors. I'm sure he has his review there. It is the worst new pump out there. If you are looking for a Remington pump, especially as a gift for an important milestone, a Wingmaster is THE choice. A quality top of the line 870 that will last several lifetimes.
