Our Assessment: This is one of the few over-under shotgun models ever produced by Remington. The design is essentially the same as the Krieghoff model 32 and the fit and finish isn’t far off from a Krieghoff, either. This shotgun is in about Fine condition and has 25 1/2″ barrels that have been threaded for removable chokes. This will great addition for anyone who needs a new fast-handling field gun. This is a phenomenally made shotgun that will be serving its new owner well for decades to come. Please see our photos and good luck!
