Madison, NC – Young
shooters are more likely to become stewards of the shooting sports
if they are initiated with a gun that fits properly. Remington
is proud to introduce three versions of the Model 870 Express
Compact pump action shotgun in 20 gauge and
a shorter Model 870 Express Compact Jr. in 20
gauge. All four feature durable synthetic fore-ends and
stocks with a shorter length of pull than our standard Model 870;
our new Adjustable Length of Pull (LOP) System which
easily adjusts LOP incrementally up to one inch; the world’s
most effective recoil pad, SuperCellTM, which soaks up reward force
to create the most comfortable shooting experience possible; and
shorter barrel lengths for proper balance. The Express
Compact is available in the following versions – Black
Synthetic, Realtree Hardwoods HD® and
Remington’s exclusive, Mossy Oak® Blaze Pink
Camo. The Express Compact Jr. is available
in a Black Synthetic version. Remington’s
new Adjustable Length of Pull system is comprised of two 1/4-inch
and one 1/2-inch length spacers and corresponding screws;
allowing both youth and small-stature shooters the ability
to personalize each gun to their individual shooting preference
and dimensions. Young shooters now have the capability
to “custom fit” their shotgun as they grow. America’s
most popular pump action, the long-lasting Model 870, features
twin-action bars and ultra-reliable feeding, extraction
and ejection. All metal surfaces feature a non-glare, matte
finish. The hammer-forged, carbon steel Rem™ Choke
barrel features a vented rib with single bead sight and
a Modified choke tube (Full choke tube with Compact Jr.)
is included. All models have rugged synthetic stocks and
fore-ends with sling swivel studs.
