New Rem 870 worth buying???

[Terry]

I hear so much negative stuff about Remington's current quality issues, I'm wondering if a new 870 20 gauge s worth buying?? I already have a barrel for the gun that shoots well, I just need a gun

I bought one a few years ago at my local pawn shop for 100.00.
May be worth checking out.

I have one also, youth model 21" barrel. Carlson .555 choke shooting Federal Heavishot #6 with the Macarbo trigger spring replacement. Great shooting gun. If a gun shoots 1200 fps the turkey does not know if it is a 12 or 20 gauge. It is simply a matter of  1-1/2oz load over a 2 or 2-1/4oz load. So as long as you stay within the forty yrd mark. There is no turkey that can walk through that ..

I too have an 870 compact. Cheapest gun in my either of my safes and still the one I grab most often in the spring. I had it drilled & tapped, topped with a red dot, and upgraded trigger springs.  Love it's light weight and narrow "turn radius" in the woods.

Yeah that's why I'm hesitant to pick one up myself. I'd like to find an older model. My brother works in Huntsville and knows a guy that worked in the Remington plant.  I believe he quit he said it was so bad.  It's a shame Remington went down the tube. They had two of the best selling guns ever. If they would have dropped all the crappy stuff they were doing and just made really nice 700's and 870's they probably would have been fine.  Everybody builds off that 700 action but it's like Remington's not even in their own game.
