Slimpsy1647545505 Posted September 18, 2008 Report Share Posted September 18, 2008 I have become slightly obsessed with guns and hunting since purchasing the 11-87 and taking it to the range. So before they stop making the purdy 870's I had to get my hands on a new wingmaster. I probably won't hunt with it, but will for sure fire it and baby it. Pics are of it still in box. Will post more tomorrow after I get a case for it and assemble it. It has some of the most gorgeous wood patterns I've ever seen on an 870. Features: Remington 870 Magnum Wingmaster, Walnut stock, all blued/polished metals, fancy wood w/ high gloss finish, light contour 28" vented rib barrel w/ rem choke, gold plated trigger w/ metal trigger guard, R3 recoil pad http://a560.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/images01/98/l_be3a7e3ef7f32c2f5942085b0e18b64f.jpg http://a557.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/images01/53/l_2e3c60b87a13896d320c603d9563ebfc.jpg http://a360.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/images01/43/l_5492da9191312c18a1fa303ee2dea7b7.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

evan9381 Posted September 18, 2008 Report Share Posted September 18, 2008 i think its like a 50th anniversary wingmaster edition. 870's will never go away! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin R. Posted September 18, 2008 Report Share Posted September 18, 2008 That is fucking awesome man. +1 on 870 never going anywhere Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slimpsy1647545505 Posted September 18, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 18, 2008 I know they ain't goin anywhere. . what I meant was it's hard to find a nice solid wood finish anymore. . . and I'm not a big fan of the feel and look of synthetics. Anywho. . . what started as a new hobby idea has now become a money pit. Luckily I never buy anything for myself so my wife is okay with it.

evan9381 Posted September 18, 2008 Report Share Posted September 18, 2008 guns will do that. i bought my M&P in january and i think with all the shooting i did over the next month or so, with the cost of the gun and accessories, ammo, etc, i dropped a little over 900$ into it...and the gun was only 400$ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Jones Posted September 18, 2008 Report Share Posted September 18, 2008 +1 Got an 870 as well. The 3" Magnum shells put a hurting on my shoulder in a hurry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I went through 5 boxes of remington sluggers at the range with the 11-87. I could barely move my arm the next day. If anyone wants to see and shoot this beauty, I'd love to have like a CR gun shootout somewhere at a range or something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's kinda like being a kid and going into a toy store, lol. Very good feeling to have something I'm actually taking interest in again.
