3" 870 Shell Shucker

Kind of makes me feel like I belong to a great big ol' 870 brotherhood or something.

Reckon the cheaper Mossberg Model 500 will ever surpass the 870's total sales numbers?  BTW, I had one, and I passed it on down the line.

I don't think any shotgun will ever out sell the Rem 870.  It's been the pump gun that all others are measured by.   :z-winnersmiley:

I have 4 870's, I hope they go back to there roots because there new 870's are not any better than a cheap mossberg 500. I have a new 870 and it is very rough compared to my older ones.

Ive had three 870s. I only have a 870 SM now. I'm not a mossberg fan, I've owned a couple but didn't like em. I know they're proven turkey killers , but mossys just ain't for me.

agreed agreed agreed, I love mossbergs i dont know why but i use to like remingtons alot. If they will get away from making wal mart quality guns ill go back to remington. And i wish they would quality has gotten poor so they can sell to walmart imo. but i found me an 11-87 20 gauge the other day i fell in love with

I'm proud to run my 870.  The gun is treated like a tool and for all the abuse I have put it through, it performs flawlessy every.single.time.

I have owned a couple of Rem 870's. My current is a 3.5" 26" barrel Super Mag Syn/Matte. It is a very reliable shotgun. I am more than happy with it.

With all due respect, I'll take my Win 1300.

:smiley-patriotic-flagwaver-an



I'm with you none of my 870's compare to my 1300's.
Doesn't take away that almost every shotgun owner does have an 870 of some sort.

I've had 5 870's.  Only one had to go back and that was a minor spring on the magazine plug issue.  But they fixed it quicker than quick and all was well afterwards.  Remington seems to have great customer service.  I've owned 4 Remington deer rifles and all have been excellent.
