Description
The Remington 870 Superslug, Pump, 12 Ga, 3″ Chamber, 25.5″ Rifled Barrel, Black, Mossy Oak Treestand Synthetic Stock, 4Rd is a dedicated slug-hunting shotgun. It’s a purpose-built pump-action designed for maximum accuracy with sabot slugs, featuring a rifled barrel and a camo synthetic stock for durability and concealment in the deer woods. I’ve put a few boxes of Federal Premium Barnes Expanders through mine, and it’s a reliable, hard-hitting tool for Missouri whitetail.
Key Features
- Dedicated Rifled Barrel: The 25.5-inch barrel has a 1:35″ twist rate, engineered to stabilize modern sabot slugs for rifle-like accuracy out to 150 yards and beyond.
- Mossy Oak Treestand Camo: The full synthetic stock and forend are dipped in a proven, all-season pattern that breaks up your outline in a tree or ground blind.
- Pump-Action Reliability: It’s the legendary 870 action. Simple, robust, and utterly dependable in all weather conditions. You can trust it to cycle when it counts.
- 3″ Chamber: Gives you the flexibility to run everything from light 2 3/4″ target loads up to powerful 3″ magnum slugs for extended range and knockdown power.

Look, the weight—around seven and a half pounds—is a sweet spot. It’s heavy enough to soak up recoil from those stout slugs, but not so cumbersome that it’s a chore to carry all day. The 46.5-inch overall length makes it maneuverable in thick cover or a tight blind, a real consideration for our Midwestern hunting. At $700.95, it sits in a competitive spot for a dedicated slug gun that’s ready to hunt right out of the box.
Who This Shotgun Is For
This is for the hunter in a shotgun-only or straight-wall cartridge zone who refuses to compromise on accuracy. It’s for the Missouri deer hunter who needs a reliable, all-weather tool that can reach across a CRP field or a bottomland hardwood. It’s also a solid choice for bear defense in a camp, where the power of a rifled slug is a serious deterrent. If your hunting regulations mandate a shotgun, this is how you level the playing field with the rifle guys.
Pros & Cons
Pros: The accuracy potential with quality sabots is the headline. I’ve seen these guns consistently group under 2″ at 100 yards with the right load. The 870’s track record for durability is unmatched—it’s a tank. The synthetic camo stock is low-maintenance and weatherproof. It’s also drop-in ready; just add a scope (it’s drilled and tapped) and head to the range to find its preferred ammunition.
Cons: That rifled barrel means you should not shoot traditional foster-type lead slugs or shot through it; it’s sabot-only for best results and to avoid damaging the rifling. The pump action, while reliable, is slower than a semi-auto for follow-up shots. The 4+1 capacity is standard but less than some tactical models.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can I use this with a standard smoothbore shotgun choke?
A: No. This model comes with a permanently attached, fully rifled barrel. It does not use or accept choke tubes. Its sole purpose is to spin and stabilize sabot slugs for maximum accuracy.
Q: What kind of scope mount does it use?
A: The receiver is pre-drilled and tapped for a standard Remington 870 scope base. Popular one-piece bases from brands like Weaver or Warne mount directly, allowing you to use standard rifle-style rings. It’s a simple, solid setup.
Q: Is the camo pattern durable?
A: The Mossy Oak Treestand pattern is applied via a hydro-dip process over the synthetic stock and forend. It’s quite durable against scratches and wear from normal hunting use and is far more resilient than a painted finish. It won’t peel or flake like cheap coatings can.
Here’s the thing—in areas where rifles aren’t an option, a dedicated slug gun like this Remington 870 Superslug is your most effective tool. It bridges the gap between a smoothbore and a rifle. This one is available at firearms-missouri.com for Missouri residents and nationwide, with an FFL transfer required for firearm purchases. If you’re ready to tighten your groups and extend your effective range in the deer woods, this pump-action slug specialist deserves a close look.
