Our Assessment: In 1950, Remington introduced a modern, streamlined, rugged, reliable, and relatively inexpensive shotgun – the 870. They reached two million guns by 1973 (ten times the number of Model 31 shotguns it replaced). As of 1983, the 870 held the record for the best-selling shotgun in history with three million sold. This one is a Wingmaster chambered for 16 gauge with a 26″ vent rib barrel. It comes with two chokes and looks brand new. This will be a great field gun. Please see our photos and good luck!
