I finally got a chance to hold Remington 877 Nitro yesterday at Gander Mountain.

I really liked it. Possibly an improvement over the Benelli nova/super nova.

I wisht they made them in shorter barrels like a 20" turkey barrel or even an 18" home defense barrel.

Does anyone know if there are any plans to make them with smaller barrels?

The thing looked like a tank and felt like one. It really seemed to be a rust free shotgun, designed for all weather conditions.
 
887, and yeah, I be interested in one too. Ugly, compared to my Wingmasters, but a maintenance free exterior is appealing. I'd like to see a 18 1/2"-20" tactical model.
 
Held one at Gander Mountain yesterday. I doubt it will ever replace my beloved Wingmaster. Ugly isn't the word for this thing. However, it is light and seems put together pretty well. I'm looking forward to some field reports on this gun.
 
The 887 field strips for cleaning very easy.
It is light and the recoil on the shoulder is easy enough for 3" shells, have not tried 3.5 shells.
However, I am having an issue getting slammed in my prominent cheek bone.
I'm expecting it to be a good brush gun, vice an auto loader that get debris in the action often through the channel for the bolt handle.
 
Yikes! I don't want to be anywhere near someone with those accidents waiting to happen. Based on Randy Wakeman's review, I'm surprised the OP, "really liked it."

Smitty, thanks for the review link. That's the worst report I've ever seen on any gun. Do you think Remington has saved a lot of production time and money by just skipping any QC?
 
WOW is right Zippy. Randy's comments on SGW are always tempered and calm. Not this time. Glad all my Remingtons are a decade or three old from the "better days". They're starting to make Turkish guns look well-made! :eek:
 
Wow ....another Remington product ...for them to be ashamed of ...

Its too bad / but kind of a sign of the times unfortunately ...

Sounds like the new Remington even makes the Norinco 北方工业 products look good. Do you know anyone in Canada, they're not subject to the US embargo and have have access to the Chinese I-37 and R-870 knock-offs.
 
To each his own....

I have an 887 and I have not yet had any issues with it...Took it out skeet shooting and put about 100 rounds through it with no issues. Shoulders easy and is easy to clean. Just my 2 cents...

Oh, so you actually own one and have fired it. Appears you also know the correct model number of the gun. Well, you have some nerve chiming in and ruining it for the rest of us who are just trying to jump to conclusions. :rolleyes:
 
You don't have to go to Canada to get a decent pump. Check out the NEF site and there are several variations of the Pardner Pump that would appeal to most folks. Unless of course the "made in China " is an issue.

They are well made pump shotguns and you have to get one in your hands to see the quality built into the gun.

They are NOT cheaply made irrespective of what some have said here in this forum.

I fondled one and all I could think was why in the world would they market this top heavy polymer coated 2x4 when the 870 is gold?

It does not surprise me based on what I know versus what I have read about or heard in the barber shop.

Nothing from the green R will ever be found in my gun vault besides what is already there. I will buy foreign before I buy from Big Green.

I think 870's are good solid firearms but my issue is with corporate culture and there is no need to go any further.
 
Looks like the same guy who designed the Remington 710 designed the 887. The plastic coated barrel is awful. It adds to much to the barrel diameter. Looks like a piece of 1 1/2 water pipe instead of a shotgun barrel.

I cannot figure out how it is an improvement on anything.
