My first shotgun

this Christmas I got my first shotgun, a Remington 870 Express Synthetic. I have yet to go out and shoot it. Does anyone else have the same gun? Im wondering what to expect out of it.

I've had at least one 870 since I was 16 years old. I do have a couple of express and wingmaster models. Great shotguns for sure. I've used them in all conditions often with sub-par maintenance and never had a problem. What you can expect is a perfect functioning, no bells and whistles, shotgun that will provide you years of flawless service.-------SS

I also have one and really love it. I've also had a Mossberg and Winchester Model 12 and like the Remington the best. I started out with an old 16 guage single shot.

Santa just brought me the exact same one. Feels good at the shoulder, swings nicely and connects well. My only complaint is that the pump catches a little after a shot, my hand slipped off of the pump a few times. I don't know if it will wear in or what. I paid $200 for mine and I was shooting it better than my Benelli at 7 times the price.

Thanks for all the input. I plan on going duck hunting this weekend, and will find out how mine functions.

I got my wife one last year for Xmas in the pink camo.....she loves it. She says it's her favorite gun to shoot and we have had no problems with it! Enjoy it!

The rem 870 is one of the guns that everyone has at least one of them. My very first shotgun was a rem 870 wingmaster trap model. Only shoots 2 3/4 but I love the heck out of the thing. I use it less now that I have other favorite guns for each purpose but I will never be without at least one. In fact I always take an 870 as a back up gun in case the others fail. Very reliable like all others said and very simple to clean and opperate. You will always have good luck with it.
