870's

[Sarsaparilla]

Hey y'all. Just getting back into firearms. Not sure if this topic has been covered or not, but can anyone explain any major differences between the Remington 870 marine magnum & 870 police magnum, aside from the obvious finish? Also, which, if either, would you recommend and why, and what should I expect to pay for it? Thanks in advance!

Remington Police 870 or Marine Magnum?

Thanks Nick! I had forgotten about this. I wound up buying the police magnum several firearms ago. That marine magnum still looks pretty B.A. though!

I have the 870 SuperMag

Sweet! I'm thinking about an affordable trap gun one of these days. Got any recommendations?

I always liked the semi-autos for trap, skeet and sporting clays. I have an old Remington 1100 that I use, but my buddy just bought a Stoeger for like $250 . Real nice gun, made by Benelli

I know this is old but for trap I love my 870 wingmaster. I got a 20 gauge years ago and still shoot it. I just found a 12 gauge wingmaster for $140 at a pawn shop I think I'll pick up tomorrow.

My wife has really taken to trap and 5 stand. Thinking of getting her a cheapo maverick 88

I've had bad luck with the maverick. Jammed up alot on me. It was to unreliable for me so I got rid of it. Dont know how the new ones are though

I figure for the price, it's worth the gamble. I'm not planning on needing to do any battle with it, so 100% reliability isn't a deal breaker. More than likely, my wife will probably loose interest in it within a week of me buying it anyway and I'll be glad that I didn't spend more.
