Madison, NC –
Remington is pleased to announce enhanced offerings of its Model
870 line of 12-gauge tactical shotguns for 2007. These versatile
pump action shotguns, based on our law enforcement line, feature
compact barrels with cylinder bores and front bead sight and
highly functional stock designs with magazine tube extensions.
Four durable, well-designed models will be offered – Model
870 Tac-2 Knoxx SpecOps™ Stock with 18-inch barrel; Model
870 Tac-3 SPEEDFEED® IV Stock with 20-inch barrel; Model
870 Tac-2 Knoxx SpecOps Folder Stock with 18-barrel; and
Model 870 Tac-3 Knoxx SpecOps Folder Stock with 20-inch
barrel. Tac-2 versions feature a two-shot magazine extension and
Tac-3 models have a three-shot magazine extension for maximum
firepower.
Based on the time-proven and extremely reliable Model 870 pump
action platform, these extremely utilitarian shotguns feature
standard profile, carbon steel hammer-forged barrels with single
front bead sight and fixed cylinder choke; durable black
synthetic tactical-style fore-ends with front extension bracket
swivel stud and rear swivel stud; amazing, recoil-taming R3®
Recoil Pad (excluding folding stock versions); blasted black
oxide finish on exposed metalwork; and are chambered for 2 3/4
and 3-inch shells. The sturdily constructed receiver, featuring
the “870 Tactical” rollmark and milled from solid steel, is
drilled and tapped for the easy attachment of optics with
Weaver-style rail. Stocks and fore-ends feature a non-glare,
matte black finish completing the all-black package.
The Model 870 tactical shotguns equipped with the SpecOps or
SpecOps Folder stocks feature the unique Knoxx Industries
recoil-compensating system contained within the pistol grip.
This patented mechanism reduces muzzle jump as well as taming
recoil for consistent shot placement, rapid follow-up shots and
less shooter fatigue.
The Model 870 Tac-2
SpecOps Stock version has an 18-inch barrel with 2-shot
extension. Setting this tactical 870 apart is the adjustable and
recoil compensating Knoxx SpecOps pistol grip stock. With an
easily adjustable LOP (length of pull) feature, this pump action
can almost instantaneously be fit to any shooter or adjusted to
accommodate additional layers of clothing with a LOP from 12 to
16 inches. Suggested retail price: $665
The Model 870 Tac-3
SPEEDFEED IV Stock version has a 20-inch barrel length with
3-shot extension. This fast-handling, pump action features the
highly regarded SPEEDFEED IV pistol grip stock for true one-hand
control and added comfort when shooting magnum shells or slugs.
Suggested retail price: $572.
The Model 870
Tac-2 Knoxx SpecOps Folder Stock version has an 18-inch
barrel with 2-shot extension and the Model 870 Tac-3 Knoxx
SpecOps Folder Stock version has a 20-inch barrel with
3-shot extension. Both feature the latest in stock technology
from Knoxx Industries with its patented recoil-reducing
mechanism and sleek, versatile folding pistol grip stock design.
The overmolded, soft-rubber wire frame stock can easily be
folded over the top of the receiver for compact storage or ease
of maneuverability. Extending the stock creates a stable
platform for increased accuracy. A simple squeeze of the wire
frame releases the lock and allows the stock to be folded open
or closed. Suggested retail price: $665
This well-designed, multi-purpose line of Model 870 Tactical
Shotguns offers a version that’s right for your specific needs -
whether for competitive shooting, personal defense or protection
of property. For complete specifications on the Model 870
Tactical Line and the extensive family of Model 870 pump action
