Product Description
remington With continually evolving designs, rugged dependability, great pointing characteristics and versatility, the Model 870 has been the standard for slide-action performance for almost 60 years. Beneath the no-nonsense, ready-for-work exterior of the Model 870 Express lies the same quality, precision, and dependability that you'll find in our legendary Model 870 Wingmaster, but at a much more affordable price. Like all Model 870 shotguns, this workhorse features a receiver milled from a solid billet of steel for maximum strength and reliability. The silky-smooth twin action bars prevent binding and twisting so that you'll always have the chance to get off a second shot.

All youth firearms have shortened barrels that counter-balance the lighter stock, while retaining ballistic effectiveness. These shotguns feature single bead sight. Stocks are black synthetic or laminate hardwood, all with perfect length, weight, and balance for smaller stature shooters.

            Comments about Remington® 870™ Express Jr. Shotgun:

            I purchased one of these fine shotguns for my children to be able to hunt spring turkey with me. I could not have made a better choice.
            The stock is at a perfect size for small shooters and the 20 gauge receiver and 18" barrel balances the gun out so nice. Heck, I may even take it once or twice when I am out on my own as great as the gun balances.
            I wasn't totally worried about the barrel length but I knew even with the Remington Extra Full turkey choke installed I was wanting to keep the "gun range" on this at 25-30 yards max. It patterned just fine at 25 yards with Winchester and Remington 3" loads I have little doubt at this point that the gun can take 'em a bit farther but again, for youth hunting I want to be conservative.
            Don't waste time or money on those WAY to lightweight single shot combos. While they are fun for learning and plinking with the 22LR barrel, the 20 gauge with fixed bore will tend to not persuade youth to continue shooting or hunting after just a few rounds. The 870 Express Junior will keep 'em confident and out in the field.
