Remington 870 is a Great First Shotgun

Whether you’re looking to bust clays, bag upland birds, or take a shot at waterfowl, the Remington 870 Wingmaster might just be the perfect addition to your gun collection. Yes, Remington has had some woes over the last few years (more on that later), but the smooth lines, balance, and reliability of the 870 Wingmaster make it a joy to shoot.

I’ll happily confess that I’m new to shotgunning as a sport, but I’m officially hooked. Like many new shooters, I started by chasing after semi-auto shotguns to get some trigger time on as many as I could get my hands on. I enjoyed them, but then I took four shotguns to the range for testing and put my first box of target loads through an 870 Wingmaster.
