Remington 870 18' or Winchester 1300?

[Calum]

How a shotgun fits a person also applies to how it fits to ones wallet.

I got myself 870 afterward and shot around 200 shells, it was pretty good. Like it.

Congratulations. It's pretty darn hard to go wrong with an 870. I love mine with a depraved unholy passion .

If it's good enough for the Canadian Army, it's good enough for me...get a Rem 870.

Sigh... That's where I fell in love with the 870.

By my math 14-12=2 inches... where did I go wrong?

It's actually 12-1/2".

It's actually 12-1/2".

Ah... the new guy RAYE lied to us! He said it was 12" ... string him up ! Or BAN him at least!

So which size is designed for which application? I did some calculations before but forget what was what with the minimum over all length of 26". 12.5" looks like what would be required to still be longer than the magazine tube on a synthetic 870.

14" to be at least 26" with a pistol grip?

hey sunnyside I'd go with what two other writer;s said ,the winchester has an aloy reciever and the remington is steel .I've owned both and I sold the winchester I just think my 870 is the best . you should save your cash and buy a combo package. then you can use it for home defence and hunting.
