This configuration weighs in around 7 pounds, giving it a solid, steady feel that soaks up recoil and promotes a smooth follow-through. The 20-gauge chambered for 3-inch shells offers a potent payload with noticeably less kick than a 12-gauge, a real advantage for younger shooters or those spending long days in the field. The included Modified choke tube is a great all-around choice for everything from dove to pheasant. Want to tighten up for turkey or open up for close-range skeet? The system is compatible with readily available Remington choke tubes, so swapping is drop-in ready. The price point of $723.13 reflects the quality of materials and the enduring craftsmanship of this model.
Who This Shotgun Is For
This Wingmaster is for the hunter who values reliability and elegance in equal measure. It’s for the upland shooter walking miles for grouse or quail, where its lighter 20-gauge frame is a blessing. It’s for the clay shooter who appreciates a smooth swing and a classic look on the sporting clays course. It’s also an excellent choice for a first serious shotgun—its manageable recoil and straightforward operation build confidence. While not a tactical model, its proven action makes it a capable option for home defense when loaded appropriately, a point we can discuss. This firearm ships to Missouri and compliant US states.
Pros & Cons
Pros: Legendary reliability and slick action. The 20-gauge offers effective power with reduced recoil. The polished blue and walnut provide timeless good looks and durability. The vent rib and twin beads offer a clean, intuitive sight picture. The Rem Choke system adds significant versatility for different game and ranges.
Cons: The high-polish finish, while beautiful, can show fingerprints and requires more careful maintenance in wet conditions compared to a matte or coated finish. The 28-inch barrel is ideal for the field but can feel long for strictly indoor defensive use. That said, its four-round tube capacity is standard for a field model.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is this shotgun ready to shoot out of the box?
A: Yes, it comes with the Modified choke tube installed and is ready for use. You will need to supply your own ammunition. Remember, an FFL transfer is required for all firearm purchases.
Q: What other chokes can I use with this barrel?
A: The barrel uses the standard Remington Rem Choke thread pattern. You can use any aftermarket or Remington-branded choke tube marked for this system, such as a Cylinder or Improved Cylinder for close range, or a Full choke for longer shots on turkey or trap.
Q: Can the stock be shortened or adjusted for fit?
A: The American walnut stock is a classic fixed design. For a custom fit, it can be professionally cut down and a recoil pad installed. Alternatively, the 870’s popularity means a wide range of aftermarket stocks are available from brands like Magpul or Hogue for a more modular setup if desired.
Here’s the thing—the 870 Wingmaster isn’t just a tool; it’s a piece of American shooting heritage that performs. Its value lies in its no-nonsense execution and the confidence that comes from a design that has worked for generations.
