I've posted to the Firearms section a thread about my current problems with a Stoeger M2000. I'm seriously thinking about simply going back to the tried and true Remington 870 for my Gobbler Stopper. I've found a few local used guns for $300-$350. Is this a fair price? Are there better deals out there?

You should be able to find a new 870 Express for that if you shop around.

For a Wingmaster I'd go for it; like he said - an Express I'd see if I could sneek in for a little less. I'll be Chasing them with a Wingmaster again this year.

that price seems a bit high to me.
200-250 is more like it for a used 870
I have an 870 supermag, with an indian creek choke and 3 inch hevi shot #6 shells it patterns with any gun out there.

Ah yes, the dreaded Remington 870......the gun you can shoot 365 days a year without cleaning it (minus a quick wipe with an oily rag) and it still continues to function like it did right outta the box! The best pump action shotgun out there.

I've got a Benelli in the gun cabinet as well as an 870. I killed my first 5 or 6 birds w/ the 870 then got my Benelli. Yes the Benelli is lighter and it does pattern better, but I wouldn't hesitate for one second to put my SBE up and take the 870! An 870 w/ the right choke will be more than good for bustin an 'ol gobbler. Not to mention that I could've bought 5 870's for what I paid for my Benelli..........I not willing to give up my Benelli though!!!!

I agree, the 870 is the best pump gun made. I have bought and then later sold several other brands of shotguns. I own three 870's now and won't ever be selling any of them.

Recommending a Benelli over an .870 is sort of like recommending a Cadillac Escalade over a Ford Bronco isn't it?
Sure, the Escalade is a terrific vehicle, but who really wants to pay for one? A Bronco gets the job done really well and you don't cry too much if you put a little scatch on it.

My 870 looks pretty bad right now but I wouldn't trade it for anything, great gun! |
