OFFICIAL Remington 870 thread

[Chris]

Well Ill try to explain. I got my gun in June 2010. That was about 4 months before I hurt my back. I'd go out shoot 100 shells. Shoulder would be sore. After I hurt my back after about 30 shells I'd be sore in the back and shoulder would hurt like normal. If I shot stationary targets and rested the gun say on the bed rail of my truck, no problem with my back, just shoulder from recoil. I use the new grip and pull the gun to my shoulder so I don't do as much with my left arm. Its not supporting the same weight so to speak I shifted a little. Could be my imagination but I went out 2 weeks ago and put 150 shells thru it. A little sore in the back but not as bad as before. Shoulder hurt like hell though because I hadn't shot the 870 in over a year.

my tactical has a pistol grip and it helps to absorb some of the recoil to your shoulders

I looked into a tactical style but I like the ShurShot stock.

i wasnt really a fan of the sureshot stock. i know it performs well i just wasnt feeling the way it looks. plus i like adjustable length

[Chris]

The length is about the same I think as the normal stock which is fine with me. Its a lot more comfortable and hell to each his own. Make it yours and perform well. I'd like to get a second 870. A tactical. And I'd love a versamax

Here's my two HD options an my carry. The stock on the 870 absorbs everything I've put though it

i have an 1187 versamax in mossy oak. amazing gun. never jams

[BlackZ71Silverado]

It's a shotgun, it shouldn't jam. The shooter controls ejection, unlike a pistol or non-pump action rifle.

its a semi auto shotgun

[BlackZ71Silverado]

Didn't mention that before....semi or not your shotgun should never "jam". I have never had or saw one fail to eject. Some race guns may due to their modifications but these Remingtons are definately bullet proof!

 

I'd like to pick up a semi one of these days too. Would like a Benelli but that's a ton of $$ for a shotgun.

The 1187 is different from the VersaMax. The VersMax is their new model. it will cycle seamlessly between all shells

I helped my aunt and uncle shop for each other for christmas. i had him get her an iPad to make her job as a real estate agent easier. she can view propeerties on the go or while standing with a client. I had her get him his dream gun and yours a Benelli Vinci. the Camo one. I shot it. I fell in love with it

[KMGZ400]

ohh i thought it was still called an 1187 versamax. mine never came with a box or anything.

 

 

most of the semi's me and my freinds have tend to be a little bit older and they sometimes jam or fail to eject.

Here's a pic of my most modded 870 Express. I'd like to get a Mesa Tactical Urbino pistol grip stock, but I would really miss the extra shell capacity of the Speedfeed.

 

[Highland416]

Had several over the decades...down to two right now.

 

Newer 870 Ultramag Express that takes 3 1/2 inch shells is the new farm truck gun. Replaced the 26 inch barrel with the 23 inch turkey tube, has a mod. choke tube in it right now. Also replaced the plastic trigger guard with an older aluminum one.

 

Older Wingmaster with a 20 inch barrel sits under the counter at my liquor store. Loaded with 2 3/4 magnum double ought buck.

 

I actually prefer 1100s for most hunting uses.

Where did you get your add ons for the shotgun?
