Author Topic: Used 870 Magnum Express (Read 707 times)

I saw a used 870 magnum at my local gander mountain this weekend for $200. It had a parkerized finish and wood stock and both were in very good condition. The barrel had some very minor scratches on it. It had a short barrel on it, probably 24". The one think I didn't really like about it was the choke tube stuck out the end of the barrel about an inch. It was a full choke tube and I was thinking that it may be some sort of special turkey choke tube and I would probably be able to buy other choke tubes that would screw in flush with the end of the barrel. I was wondering if this was a good deal for the gun and also if my assumptions about the choke tube are right. Thanks for any help.

Sounds like a turkey choke, I paid less than $300 , synthetic stock for mine new at wallly world...3 1/2 inch chamber..great shotgun.

Something that I forgot to ask in my original post was if the express magnum could chamber 3 1/2" shells. I don't remember exactly from looking at the gun, but it seems like it could only chamber 3" shells. I am pretty much wondering the difference between the express, magnum express, and super magnum express. Thanks.

I'm pretty sure the 870 Magnum you're talking about can accept 3&1/2" shells, but the only sure way to be sure of course is to look at the barrel and see if it says so. If you are wanting to buy this gun, I would if I were you. Seems like a good buy for a good price
