Remington 887

The Benelli Super Nova was probably going to be my next gun.

Has anyone shot the 887 Nitro Mag? I have always shot Remington’s well but heard there may have been some issues with these.

Maybe I should have just titled this pump guns. I see Winchester has the SXP as well.

After the mess I went through with a brand new Remington 870. Ill never own anthor Remington shotgun.

Winchester sxp or browning have my vote.

You know, in the pump gun space, I think you’d have to be pretty unlucky to get a bad one. The Nova, 887, and SXP, and most other pump guns on the market today, are variations on old, time-tested designs.

Now that doesn’t mean bad manufacturing, bad quality control, or bad luck can’t conspire to produce a lemon, but overall this is an area where I’d say brand should take a back seat. I’d buy the fit and ergonomics that appeal most to you.

Shotgun fit is so individual and so important because of the nature of wingshooting. Everything is an uphill battle if the fit isn’t there for you personally.

Obviously, it’s always better to buy from a local dealer so you have someone to deal with in person for after-sales support. And you never know when you’ll need it, it can be when you’d least expect it. I shelled out a significant sum for a Browning Superlight and what do you know, the barrels had a lump of solder stuck in the rib right out of the box. Sure was glad I could just take it right back to the dealer rather than hassle with trying to ship a gun back.
