Remington 870 for Sale: In-Stock Deals, Price Ranges & Buying Tips

Remington 870 for sale is a pump shotgun search, and the barrel decides the job. Field guns, Express guns, and police trade-ins share a receiver idea and not a price band.

What you are actually buying

The Remington 870 is a pump shotgun, field or tactical shotgun in 12 gauge is the common one, with 20 gauge and other gauges on specific guns. A standard tube is often 4+1. Extended tubes and shorter shells change the count. The title has to say which. A bead is the field sight. Rifle sights or a rail show up on tactical and police models. Do not expect a ghost ring on an Express field gun.

A pump with dual action bars and a huge used market, including police trade-ins. Wear on a trade-in is the point of the discount and also the risk.

Variants worth separating

Express is the budget wing. Wingmaster is the nicer finish. Police and Marine versions are built harder. Magnum receivers and 3-inch or 3 1/2-inch chambers are stamped on the barrel. Synthetic, wood, and pistol-grip stocks are different guns to shoot.

Who it suits

Home defense with a shorter barrel and a stock you can actually aim, or birds and clays with a longer field barrel. One barrel does not do both jobs well.

What to look for in a deal

Gauge, chamber length, barrel length, and new versus police trade-in. A 28-inch field barrel is not a deal on an 18-inch security gun. Confirm the stock is included. Put two 12-gauge 18-inch guns side by side, or two field guns. Mixing them makes the cheaper card look smarter than it is. The wider in-stock set is on Remington deals. If this size is wrong, the Remington 700 is the nearby model. The category board is shotgun deals. The category buying guide is Best Home Defense Shotguns.
