New member from WV. Longtime Remington owner.
Got my first 870 some 37 years ago, Dad bought it at a local sporting goods for less than $150.
870 Wing Master 20ga Magnum. ( can't by an Express now days for that ) . Anyways still have it, only comes out on nice days. I've added a couple 12ga and a couple of 20ga since, Express models for more field work.
The 870 is what all pump shotguns are measured by.
Bought first 700 about 25 years ago, still cutting bullet holes today. Again the 700 is what all other are measured by.

Welcome to the Remington Owners Forum !!

BTW...how about some pictures....!?

Agree!! The 870 Wingmasters are great guns. As far as the 700s mine is 35 years old and cost about $330 back then. Walnut and well finished overall. Gettin tough to find some used models as folks holdin onto em.
