Title: Remington 870 Express. Post by: Fox17 on January 24, 2007, 12:15:36 AM Are they any good? I have heard mixed opinions about Remingtons in general. I want a good, fun, reliable, gun to shoot. And that they make all the cool tactical stuff for. I was lookin at the 870 Express Super Mag combo so i could use it as my hunting rifle too. I have heard that a fully rifled barrell and a slug will travel 200 yds. Is this true?
Title: Re: Remington 870 Express. Post by: bigscrub79 on January 24, 2007, 09:22:12 AM I have one and love it. I have gone out and shot 300 rounds through it in an afternoon, several times. Its pretty accurate, and very reliable. I would highly recommend it. I dont know about the slug thing because I only shot clay pigeons with it. I have shot a slug through it but not sure how far it would travel.

Title: Re: Remington 870 Express. Post by: wilburz on January 24, 2007, 09:53:34 AM i have been hunting with one for quite a while. finally put my slug barrell and scope on it this year. Shoots your basic slug round exellent! I could shoot a nats eye out from 50 yards and shoot a 2 inch spread from 100 yards. make sure you have a good recoil pad while shooting slugs though. after 10 rounds at the range your shoulder will fall off. Not sure how good it would be at 200 yards. probably 1 or 2 inches of drop at that range. plus the shotgun scope is only 1.75 x 4 power. Don't put a rifle scope on it either. make sure youget a scope for a shotgun.
express is a great gun for the money! Title: Re: Remington 870 Express. Post by: Fox17 on January 24, 2007, 11:55:52 AM k thanks for the replys. i like them too. i have shot one but only a few rounds. i have a remington .22 and only had one problem with one of my clips for it. other than that, its great.

Not all of us hunt snipe though, so a Red Rider would be useless. Title: Re: Remington 870 Express.
