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 and has a 26″ barrel with removable chokes. It has hardly any wear and has a great bore and smooth action, perfect for the field. Please see our photos and good luck!
