the wingmaster?, thats the gun I shot my first buck with this weekend. we were comparing it to another 870 and you could feel the difference.

If it was an 870 Express against a wingmaster it would be no surprise. Express's are rough guns when new, takes a lot of shots/cycles to get them smoothed out. Wingmasters are slick and smooth right out of the box. Old ones are smooth as silk, really easy to cycle.
 
Shotgun ammo prices are rising or are due to rise more soon, buy a few hundred rounds today.

Walmart had 100rd packs at $16.97 for this whole year, today they are $23.87 +40.6%. The rumor mill states another 23% will be added Jan 5 08

Where is that little smilie fucker that zooms around the store knocking prices down?
 
Justin, that Nova is a good gun, had one for years. Very quick cycling gun.

Classic Shotgun time;
Remington 870 Wingmaster circa 1975 when they still made them right. IMO.
These had the high polished blue and glossy finished wood.
Much nicer than the 870 Express I own too. slicker cycling, lighter weight (due to lack of vent rib I guess).
This gun weighs 7lbs 1oz with a 30" fixed Full choke barrel, about a half pound less than
my 870 Express with a 28" vent rib bbl with remchokes.

i have that gun, well its my dads, but its gonna be a hand me down, use it all the time.....
 
I have a Remington 870 Magnum Express, I LOVE IT!!! It doesnt have a shiny blues barrel but i'd rather it not be anyway, I use it to hunt not take it to gun shows to display.

I have an 870 Express too, only I had it modified for card shooting. I hate the finish on it, very cheap and rough. It was a used gun when I got it, had to strip and refinish it. Bad thing is I was with the guy who bought it when it was new. Only had a few boxes of ammo though it but was never taken care of till now.

My dad has one of the old 870's from the 70's era, it has the shiny barrel, one day that one will be mine. I like my gun though, im kinda glad it doesnt have the shiny surface though, hunting while it wet out, it has never rusted on me.

He had been using a Benelli Montefeltro 20ga Youth but it is harder
to load, something with the shell stop.
