Title: The old bottomland remingtons
Post by: kytrkyhntr on November 29, 2020, 08:57:11 PM
In the last few years those guns have become really popular with huge price tags. Really cool old guns if you're into it. My question for anyone who may know, did Remington ever make those in left handed models? I've never seen one. I've always been interested to know that. If so have you seen one?

Thanks!

I have a right handed bottomland 870 even though I am left handed shooter. I am used to the shells flying in front of my face with it, and my semi-auto's. Would like to see a lefty, probably very rare....be safe....

I am going to use mine, I love it. They shoot well too. They are made real well, solid, smooth action. Be safe my friend..

Those older 870 turkey guns are special. I have a `05 vintage thumbhole stocked one that`s in MO Obsession that`s built like a tank. Shoots like one too! I like it very much but had to tame it some with a slip on Limbsaver pad. I guess they`re even more special now that Remington`s out of business. A real tragedy IMO.

Agreed, the prices may even get more ridiculous. I just got my Indian Creek Black Diamond choke in mail today, got this recommendation on this forum. Can't wait to take it to range. They are so well built, the pump is smooth. Be safe...
