KillJoy Posted July 9, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 9, 2012 Are these marked as being OSHP? I have not seen one in person this round, but the ad makes it seem that way... KillJoy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mojoe Posted July 9, 2012 Report Share Posted July 9, 2012 Are these marked as being OSHP? Yes, at the bottom of the stock, under where your hand rests to fire. Something to watch for is to make sure you know what you are getting, as they have the Magnums and the Express all together. Some may not care, but some may. Just an FYI.

That's a very different weapon, still being an 870 though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least some are stamped with the OSHP logo on the receiver under the sidesaddle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mojoe Posted July 9, 2012 Report Share Posted July 9, 2012 At least some are stamped with the OSHP logo on the receiver under the sidesaddle. It's only a print, not stamped. Most were worn off or had heavy signs of wear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mojoe Posted July 9, 2012 Report Share Posted July 9, 2012 Pulled from Remington Forum When the Express model came out the word Magnum was being used to designate the Law Enfocement Models. When they started using the word Police for those then this freed up the word Magnum and it was started to be used on the Express. Every 870 that has a serial number ending in the letter "M" is a magnum receiver and all the new ones in the RS serial number range are magnum receivers. So you have the two of the same weapons with different Marketing words on them that have nothing to do with the weapon. "Magnum" on a Remington means it can feed 3" shells also. 2-3/4" is the "typical" 12 ga. shell size. As far as accuracy... 3" generally punishes your shoulder more for little benefit. If shooting 3" 00, the recoil isn't really worth the extra 3 pellets. If you don't get the job done with 9 pellets in 2-3/4", it's doubtful that the extra shot in a 3" shell would help either, and you would need a follow up shot anyway. Different ammo brands can affect accuracy also. Try out a few and see what your gun "likes". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave1647545494 Posted July 16, 2012 Report Share Posted July 16, 2012 Don't you mean 3.5" shells? I have an express that isn't a magnum, feeds 3". 12 gauge only comes in 2 3/4 or 3" if you want to step up to 3 1/2" shells your gonna need to leave popcan police pump action junk at home and get yourself 10 gauge. Remington might tell you there is no extra benefit in a magnum round but a 3" shell will cut a wood post in half at 25 yards and 2 3/4" shell just peppers it. honestly that price is pretty high for what is most likely a heavily used shotgun you can pick up an 1100 for a little more and it does all the work for you.

Wrong. I've shot 3.5" slugs before, they kick like no other. Cheaper than dirt sells 3.5" shells in every load available, including buck and slug. Expresses will chamber 2 3/4" as well as 3". All of the "magnum" shotguns are now designated as "super mag" and will chamber 3.5" http://www.remington.com/products/firearms/shotguns/model-870/model-870-express-super-mag-turkey-waterfowl.aspx http://www.cheaperthandirt.com/ItemListing.aspx?catid=8014 http://www.cheaperthandirt.com/ItemListing.aspx?catid=8016 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
