I held this gun in the store and it felt like a kid put it together. I handed it back to the salesman and right after I ordered a supernova brand new from the factory in italy. It should be here in the next 2 weeks. I am excited.
Thanks for the review. I live Wisconsin as well, me and the guys go up to Crandon some times to camp. I need something that will stand up to the elements. My buddy ended up ruining a shotgun up there due to the conditions. We only carry it in case of bear. I would use it for all around hunting myself.
@fike301 Hi I just purchased this gun about 5 months ago and its amazing. And I also have the super nova first off the Remington 887 has way less felt recoil and muzzle jump. And also since the Remington's front sight is smaller you actually hit where you aim the big front sight on the super nova makes you aim low. Don't be making fun of a gun if you don't have it.
I am in turmoil. I choose next week on either this or a supernova. I am torn, its like they both have so much to offer. I want a gun thats going to last me for a long ass time and be durable and the benelli just seems like a winner in all cases. But this 887, it looks badass and it is $100 bucks cheaper. I dont know, man. I will have to sleep on this one.
@DEACONAP4LOVE spend the extra $100 for.....comfort tech stock, 3 chokes instead of 1, 5yr warranty instead of 2, better fit & finish, and the gun will shoot to point of aim with better patterns. Or look around for a better price on the SuperNova.
people say its action is the same with a little used mossberg 500 ......and thats unacceptable for a remington ,i own the 870 and a m500 ..mossy s action isnt even close as smooth as my 870..... ( in my opp remingtons masterpieces in shotguns will always be the 870 and the 1100...i doubt any other model will surpass them
@rchunterboy785 a school kid can see this gun lacks at the shop compared to other brands and worst gun Remington has ever put their name on! Would not put one in my safe if you give it to me for free...plenty of other choices in the same price range with way better quality.
@MrShortstop29 Only a brand loyal idiot would ever buy this gun, its that piss poor built. This is not an 870 its actually and attempted clone of the Benelli Super Nova.
Dont like it because its a poor qulaity shotgun. Remington has tried to duplicate a Benelli Nova or SuperNova.....sorry they failed miserably. The SuperNova has comfort tech stock, shim kit, 3 chokes, 5yr warranty and the gun will actually hit where you aim! all for an extra $70. , , , , , , , Randy Wakeman give this gun the "clunker of the year award" in 2009.....also said worst shotgun reviewed in a decade! Very poor quality gun.
I got this gun recently and DAMN!!!! It's badass. Smooth action, handles recoil like a pro. I'd say it will become an instant Remington classic

@deerhunt55point despite the fact that 11 87 is an evolution of the 1100 it didnt go well and nowhere near the sales of the 1100 so true :P

If thats the best gun you have ever used, I feel sorry for you. Sorry to hear that.
so the barrel and reciever are steel just coated with polymer?
