Madison, N.C. – The Remington® Model 870 pump-action has long been the gold standard for tactical and home defense shotguns for their absolute reliability, dependability and ease of operation.

These utility shotguns feature shorter 18-inch barrel lengths, tactical-style stock designs and 2-shot magazine extensions. (Note: These Model 870 Express 7-Shot specialty shotguns are exclusive firearm offerings available only from select wholesalers through independent Remington Premier dealers).

These durable shotguns starts with the proven, long-lasting Model 870 action which features twin-action bars and ultra-reliable feeding, extraction and ejection. The guns handle both 2 3/4 and 3-inch loads. A factory-installed, two-round magazine extension raises the magazine capacity to seven rounds and the 18-inch carbon steel, hammer-forged barrels are fast handling and deliver consistent patterns with the fixed cylinder bore (12-ga Folding Stock version has new Extended Tactical Rem® Choke tube). The solid steel, machined receiver and barrel are finished in a non-reflective, matte black finish with matching matte black finish on the brawny synthetic stocks and fore-ends. Target acquisition is fast with front single-bead sight or for ease of mounting optics, receivers are drilled and tapped. Rear sling swivel stud and front extension bracket stud are standard.
