sportsman warehouse! 870 Remington

So sportsman warehouse is having a $70 off promotion on 870 Remington shotgun! Wondering if I should hop on it?

 

870s have definitely declined in quality. I would put the money torward a browning bps.

 

this one

 

Bought a bps 20 gauge for 450 used. Love it.

 

HMM sooo... Should i saved up for a decent one? I don't own any shotguns. Currently own a glock 17.

 

Unless you're a waterfowl hunter shooting thousands of rounds a year I'm sure it will be fine.

 

So I guess this means you have the credit card?

Cause that’s who the offer is for.

 

Save up for a good one. If you`re committed to Remington, get a pre freedom group wingmaster. Pawn shops and mom and pops are great places to buy in January and February. A lot of people unload guns to pay Christmas debt.

 

I have three generations of 870s. I think they were definitely made of better quality parts 30 years ago, but I hunt with my newest one and have never had an issue.

 

My buddy wants to take me hunting. quail and etc

 

Sounds like you probably want to get the Firearm Service Plan too

 

A quality shotgun is much more enjoyable to shoot and will hold its value. I prefer a 20 gauge for quail and a 12 for duck and turkey.

 

I bought one of those Mossberg Shockwaves. Compared to my pre 68 Winchester 1200, and my ONG 870 it seems like trash as far as the action goes.

Maybe I got a not so good one. Never had a problem with it, it's just rough.

 

I picked up a pair of used 20 gauge 870s that I love, but I've heard of a lot of QC issues with the new ones :/

 

The newer 870's don't come close to the early 1970's models.

Bought this 870 Wingmaster from Outdoor Sportsmans Superstore for $239.00.

It appears to have never been used. It was issued to the Ohio National Guard.
