Best gun out there and for the price I am not scared to use it as a boat paddle if i got to. Can't imagine using a 600 to 700 dollar gun for a boat paddle.

Let me tell you that more game has fallen to the Remington 870 then probibly any two other shotguns on the market. I am a Brownig auto-5 man and always will be. But for what ever reason you are looking at the 870 (money,amout of time using) I don't care. It is a fine shotgun and can be used for all legal game with a shotgun. In 1988 my sons were comming of age to start hunting we lived in a shotgun for deer only so I didn't have a lot of money I bought 2 870's one for each of them. Let me tell you a lot of deer have fallen to those 2 guns with buck shot and slugs they both have the standard 28 in barrels with the Rem chokes. They are still using those guns at times today and have not spent a single second in with the gunsmith. I wish I could say the same for all my other shotguns. The 870 is a work horse and well worth the investment. No matter what any one else tells you. Its a great first shotgun. Good Luck

There is nothing so sweet as the pump action of the 870 - It has a very special sound for the law enforcement community as well as the law breakers - believe me - everyone who associates with guns knows the sound of the 870 being chambered -
