The day has finally arrived!!! Rem 870 DM

[FLYBYU44]

Sorry I am not usually negative about new guns, but this thing looks like an answer to a question nobody asked. I guess I just don't get it. It has a full mag tube (yes I know for the pump) and then a magazine added, so I take my 870 and add substantial weight to it, then it holds as much as a mag tube would anyway. On top of that, it is ugly as sin and I wouldn't want this huge mag hanging out the bottom when out in the woods. Plus it appears to be made like something I would bolt on in my garage, I really question how reliable it really is. I am glad some of you appreciate it, I know it isn't something I will ever own.

I completely agree,remington is so far behind on the 8 ball on this it's almost a joke. If this would have came out 6+ years ago it would have been a game changer. However with the grizzly having been out forever and now with all the ar type shotguns (semi auto and detached mag) I just don't see where this will fit in. People will talk about remington quality but let's face it any modern 870 sucks balls the best thing about them is that parts are plentiful and their easy to work on and for the most part their a cheap gun to give to hunting buddies to use.

Only thing that this is good for is quick reloads.

Or should rephrase as it’s only advantage.

In a country like Canada, where storing a shotgun with a loaded tube, would get you in a lot of trouble if used in a self defense situation, a viable, reliable mag fed shotgun makes a lot of sense. As it does for competitions, such a 3 gun.

As a field gun, it holds less appeal, for sure, but since there aren't any models with a 26" barrel threaded for chokes, i think Remington knows their target audience.

We all have been waiting for this for a long time, and that day has finally arrived.

- Will not work as a conversion kit as it's a dedicated receiver.

- 3" Chambers

- Hunting model comes with a 3rnd and 6rnd magazine *The 3rnd mag will only load on an open bolt so it will not work trying 3+1 This works for our 3 shot hunting restrictions for waterfowl.

Does it feed 3 inch shells nicely? I've heard nothing but issues with 3 inch shells in most mag fed shotguns

Can you beat wolverines price of 599.99 plus shipping and tax on the REM-81351 ?

There's always the issue of how shells/hulls tend to deform over time if stored for awhile in loaded magazines. Looks are one thing, and this beast isn't pretty that's for sure, DA grizzlies look much more streamlined, but reliability of shells in long term storage in the mags will be a big concern.
