Remington 870 Express Combo Question
- Thread starter Lessonz
- Start date
The 870 Express combo usually comes with a 28" barrel with interchangeable choke tubes and a ventilated rib (helps with heat dissapation and acts as a sighting rib) for hunting birds and the like. The shorter barrel (usually about 20") may have a bead or rifle type sights for use with slugs or buckshot when hunting deer. As to the cost, if it's a standard Express (not the "Super Magnum" with a 3 1/2" chamber) I think they usually go for about $500.00 at places like LeBarons (I don't have a current catalogue but I'm sure someone on the board will tell you the exact price and question my parentage in the process). The one at $635.00 may well be a reasonable price if it's got upgrades, you have to compare apples to apples. Hope this helps.
Chances are like BJP said the shorter barrel should come with some sights. More than likely it will open rifle type sights and a rifled barrel for shooting slugs.
Atleast that is what mine had come with. Maybe if the particular model you are looking at does not come with a rifled barrel, you MAY or MAY NOT be able to get one of those upgraded in the deal somehow?
