Earlier this year with advice from you all I planned to get a new gun. My Rem 1100 has worked well but would only handle 2 3/4 inch shells. I decided to get an 875. The nearest pawn shop took my name incase they got one however the shop closed before I got a phone call. While on a fishing trip I discussed my options with a friend who suggested a Benelli. I expressed it was probably out of my range, (meaning I couldn't justify it, the purchase was not a problem). During the discussion another friend walked up and said he had a Benelli he would sell me and the first friend said he would buy it on the spot, sight unseen. I expected it was a good deal I just lost but he winked and said we would talk later. I gave it a few months for them to get together but they didn't. I emailed him and he got a price together of 700. I sent it via another friend who broght it back to Tn.
It's a MINT M1 Super 90 12 Gauge. It appears to have fired 1 box of shells, maybe. I got 5 chokes, Full, Improved Mod, Mod, Improved Cyl and a Cyl choke. He also said he would send some old shells with it. To my amazement, I got about 13 boxes of 2 3/4" shells, 2 or 3 boxes of 3 inch shells, 4 boxes 20 gauge, some 25 auto, 30-30 and 357 mag shells plus 5 old paper shells. I usually don't get the good deals like I hear about but I feel pretty blessed on this on. I can't wait for Rabbit and Quail seasion to open, then Spring Turkeys season. Thanks for letting me shine a little.
Congrats! You will love that gun.
I've got an M1 and a SBE, you didn't go wrong and that price is right. Strong guns you won't be disappointed with.
Congratulations on your good fortune. That's a fine gun and you should get a lifetime of enjoyment out of it.
Thanks,
Clark

Unless I remember wrong, its Remingtons turkey gun that will handle 3 and 3.5 inch shells in the super mag model. Fairly cheap but very reliable.
That is the 870 super mag.
Correct, just got around to checking my numbers.
Good gun you will like it. Now get you a bunch of shells and a choke or two and have fun. :z-guntootsmiley:
WOW, sounds like you got one heck of a deal congrats.
But what is an 875??
congrats
sounds like a great deal
Congrats on a fine shooting gun.
congrats on the great deal
An 875 is a great gun, you will enjoy it. Get yourself a couple of chokes and pattern it. It's a bird killer!
870 super mags arent cheap.....
Cool deal
875 ? I'm guessing older gun? 870's brother? Hmmmmm
Love my M1....a super light turkey-hammer! :you_rock:
