Remington 870 SPS-T 20 guage

[Deast1988]

They were one of they early true 20ga turkey guns. Remington made it as a dedicated setup for turkeys. They were priced high at the time compared to other 20s. And I don't think they were very successful. Since they've been discontinued. So they are in the category as Greenleaf or original bottomland guns. Just a collectors piece for 20ga turkey hunters. That is very practical and useable.

Gotcha, thanks.

I mentioned this on here last year... there are 870 turkey barrels out there with sights in 20 gauge.  I snagged one last year.  Have to hunt for them a bit but they are there.  I know most of the guys accessorize theirs a little more in the sight dept but figured I'd mention it again for those that like traditional iron style sights.

There are some on gunbroker now.

Are these factory Remington barrels? Camo or black matte?

Factory Remington/matte black.  I thought I had saved the box but did not.  I cannot remember the part number.  The one I ordered came with a turkey choke.

I didn't like taking the sights off the vent rib every year when my son would quail hunt with me then putting them back on and patterning again.  The barrel is a nice addition if you're trying to make one of the 870 youths a dedicated turkey gun.  I wasn't interested in red dot or a scope.  If I run across the part number of the one I ordered, I'll put it here.  The ones I'm seeing on gunbroker don't show a turkey choke in the picture, but do state that they're RemChoke.

I bought one for my daughter around 2004 I think. She still has it. Daddy gets to hunt with it every now and then. I didn't know they were rare.

Also the sps-t is basically a Wingmaster with a 21" rifle sighted barell camo dipped. Remington sells the rifle sighted 21" factory barells online. No need to spend all that time and or money for the same thing. As for as the "Special purpose" or "quality " of the old school guns everyone talks about....I've said it before Wingmaster a 1950 Wingmaster 1990 or 2018 a Wingmaster 870 will be the same quality. Now go dirt cheap an buy an Express an you'll have plenty to complain about on various forums.

I've got both old Wingmaster's and express 870 ... both shoot , never had a quality problem with either one ...they all go bang ....

The older Express models were fine I had one when they first came out way back an the only difference was the birch wood stock instead of walnut an the Matt finish. The recent Express models have got a lot of complaints about rough actions, and barells that shoot a foot low and left using the bead site etc. non of these complaints have been directed to the Wingmaster new or old

Did you know some of the old Wingmasters had a smaller forearm ? I've got old 16 gauge Wingmaster with the smaller forearm ....
