Remington 870 Express Super Magnum 12 Gauge Pump-Action Shotgun
Product Overview
The Remington 870 Express Super Magnum is a pump-action shotgun chambered in 12 Gauge and built on the long-established Remington 870 platform. This model is designed to accommodate 2¾-inch, 3-inch, and 3½-inch shotgun shells, providing compatibility with a broad range of commercially available ammunition.
This example features a 28-inch vent rib barrel and a traditional field-shotgun configuration. The combination of a manually operated pump-action system, extended chamber capability, and vent rib barrel makes the firearm suitable for a variety of sporting and hunting applications where permitted by law.
Remington 870 Platform
The Remington 870 series has been in production for decades and is one of the most widely recognized pump-action shotgun designs. The platform utilizes a steel receiver and manually operated action designed to load, chamber, extract, and eject shells through movement of the fore-end.
The 870 design has been produced in numerous configurations for sporting, hunting, and recreational shooting purposes. The Express Super Magnum variant incorporates an extended chamber that accommodates 3½-inch shells in addition to standard 2¾-inch and 3-inch loads.
Chamber Specifications
One of the defining features of the 870 Express Super Magnum is its chamber compatibility. This shotgun is designed to accept:
2¾-inch 12 Gauge shells
3-inch 12 Gauge shells
3½-inch 12 Gauge shells
This flexibility allows users to select ammunition appropriate for their intended sporting or hunting application while remaining within manufacturer recommendations.
All ammunition should be inspected prior to use, and users should consult the owner's manual for guidance regarding approved loads.
28-Inch Vent Rib Barrel
The shotgun is equipped with a 28-inch barrel featuring a vent rib. Vent rib barrels are commonly found on field and sporting shotguns and provide a raised sighting plane extending along the top of the barrel.
The 28-inch barrel length is frequently used in hunting and clay target applications due to its handling characteristics and sighting profile. The vent rib design assists shooters in maintaining a consistent sight picture while tracking moving targets.
Buyers should verify choke tube compatibility and any included choke accessories specific to the individual firearm.
Pump-Action Operation
The Remington 870 utilizes a manually operated pump-action system. Cycling the fore-end rearward extracts and ejects the spent shell while moving it forward chambers the next round from the tubular magazine.
Because the action is manually operated, the shotgun is capable of functioning with a wide variety of ammunition types that meet manufacturer specifications.
Proper maintenance and regular inspection are recommended to ensure reliable operation.
Construction
The 870 Express Super Magnum features a steel receiver and traditional shotgun layout. Depending on the specific configuration, furniture may consist of hardwood or synthetic components.
The shotgun incorporates controls and operating procedures commonly associated with pump-action firearms, making it familiar to many users experienced with similar platforms.
The steel receiver contributes to the overall durability of the firearm and has been a defining characteristic of the 870 design.
