If you can get past this fact, and you want a cool, futuristic looking, tactical shotgun, look no further than the Remington 887 NitroMag. The only disadvantage of the 887 that I noticed is that the polymer forend doesn’t seem as durable as the solid wooden forend found on the Remington 870.
My shoulder was a little sore at the end of the day but far from hurt. At least 10 of these rounds were the 3 ½” variety of shotgun shells. I shot 50 rounds over the course of approximately 30 minutes. I had a great time shooting the Remington 887 NitroMag Shotgun. The 887 NitroMag Tactical shotgun retails for $524 according to the Remington website but I purchased a new one for about $100 less. The green dot made target acquisition easy, even in low light situations, and helped me to shoot a target center mass with a slug at 50 yards right out of the box. The barrel is topped with a HiViz green fiber optic front sight which is removable. The end of the barrel is capped with a tactical choke which makes this shotgun look like it was found in the back of a SWAT Truck instead of at your nearest gun store. There is a push button safety which is easily accessible to the shooter. The integrated Picatinny Rails allow the shooter to add a variety of optional equipment such as a red dot sight or a flash light. The recoil pad at the end of the stock gives a little protection to your shoulder while firing the shotgun but the blast from the 3 ½” load can still be quite jarring.

This finish makes the 887 look like it belongs on a science fiction Hollywood movie set. It has a patented polymer finish called ArmorLokt which Remington claims makes it impervious to any type of weather and resistant to rust. It weighs about 7 pounds and is 48 ½” long. The Remington 887 is a 12 gauge pump action shotgun that chambers 2 ¾”, 3”, and 3 ½” shotgun shells. This time I fired the 3 ½” round through the barrel of a brand new Remington 887 NitroMag Tactical Shotgun. I had improved my shooting stance since my first shotgun experience so I didn’t end up on my back, although, I did stumble back a bit. It sent a jolt through my body like a shot of whisky on a chilly southern night. I was twenty eight years old the first time I fired a 3 ½” turkey load out of a shotgun and I will never forget that experience either. I don’t know what happened to that old shotgun, but I would like to think that it is still pumping out rounds of 00 Buck……tape, glue and all. I remember sitting up from my prone position after that first shot to see that every pellet had hit the target which seemed to be standing a million miles away. Regardless of the missing bead, that 870 was as accurate as a Swiss time piece. The bead on the end of the barrel had been knocked off many years prior and replaced with a small part of a nail that someone had soldered in its place. The shotgun in question was an old Remington 870 Pump Action that was held together by a little tape and glue along with a lot of TLC. The shock from the recoil sent me staggering back three or four feet before landing me flat on my back. I was eight years old the first time I fired a shotgun and it’s an experience that I’ll never forget.
