Gun-Test magazine did a review on this gun in Sept 2009 issue, the review listed the following about the Remington 887:
poor shotgun, nose heavy balance, rattle in receiver, poor finish, action rough - sticky, and the gun did not shoot to point of aim. They even mentioned the included magazine plug did not restrict the gun properly! Unreal? You can tell some of the poor quality just by handling the gun alone....compare it to the SuperNova, game over.
@skater1737 this gun isnt exacly made for slugs its made for water fowl hunting but it is a shot gun so it should throw slugs but a 20 ga has better balstics with slugs
@skater1737 .....You can put Fosters through cylinder with no problems. I put a few through my Bone Collector. Lots of fun to bust up old watermelons, but I wouldn't try hunting using slugs with it. It's really a dedicated upland game gun.........or at least Remington expressly made it to be around water.
If they make a smoother bore or rifled barrel for the 887 it would be a great deer gun, I use an 870 with a rifled slug barrel for deer hunting and I love it. (Rifled slugs in smoother bore barrel, sabot slugs in rifled barrel)
damn it .....cant say i like the looks of it.............im a rem 870 fan so i like more traditional stuff......this one looks like a full covered nova ........
I looked at allot of new guns yesterday & this was one of em in the nitro mag camo combo. All 887's have a plastic sling loop on the rear stalk which I have had break on me in the past, I also had expected it to be much lighter than a wood stalk 870 but with the waterproof coating & or other components on this gun makes it almost just as heavy.
@hunterfishman1: Usually i would agree with you. but once i shot the gun, it was a thing of beauty. Just as sturdy as the 870 but much more durable and easier to use.
Dont get me wrong, it shoots properly but the slide & action is stiff, It hung up on me a few times, the over all feel of it was not in my intrest at all. I looked into it quite a bit since my last few comments,
EVERYONE-- Fike301 is an uneducated Benelli spammer!! Don't worry though, jealousy has been known to run deep in Benelli fanboys

Its amazing how many people think they can shoot rifle slugs out of a rifled barrel.
Dont worn them, not knowing is natures way of thinning out the retards!
Let them blow themselves up!
I used an 870 for deer this year.

Thats what I'm saying, this new gun is gunna be a flop! It screams piece of crap!
As a matter of fact I think I see it written all over it! I expected remington to be a leader but come to find out they are just another fallower.

@hunterfishman1 i wouldnt say its a piece of crap..its just not in our style.........

IMO, the newer it is the cheaper it is made.
