Last year I was going to buy a Benelli nova for turkey hunting, but they're hard to find in 3 1/2 inch. When I saw the 887 I knew this was exactly what I was waiting for, a turkey variation of the 887. MSRP on the Remington site is $692, but store prices are usually cheaper. I currently have a model 870 and an 1100, and I wouldn't shoot any other shotgun brand, especially not a crappy mossberg or some swanky piece of crap like a beretta that you pay over a thousand dollars for.

GARBAGE!!!! Absolute garbage. I can shoot one shot, pump, next round flies out of the chamber, pump again, next good round flies out of the chamber, and my spent round is in the gun still. 3" by the way. I'm completely bummed out on this. The sales guy at my local shop said this would be the perfect match for the conditions I duck hunt in. To say the least I'm very disappointed with this firearm. It's the worst gun I've ever owned. I bought this 887 with hopes for an awesome gun! GARBAGE!!!! Absolute garbage.

However when I spoke to Remington they assured me that they would go thru the gun and repair / replace any issues it may have. Since my last post I did experienced 2 major jams which I also informed Remington about. However, I have decided not to send back for repair. I was offered a good deal on trading it in on a new Browning. There are some rumors going around about not only reliability but some safety issues also. Not trying to stir the pot - just couldn't pass up the deal! I cannot comment on the bolt issue because I have not had one.

I guess I have been one of the lucky ones regarding the bolt issues. In fact I love every feature about this gun and have had no mechanical issues what so ever. My problem is that right out of the box my gun shoots low! At 15 yds. (bench rested) with 3" Fiocchi 1.25oz #2's my center pattern is about 8" low and slightly right! Needless to say this make killing ducks a challenge at 30 yds! I've been informed faster steel near 1500 fps will help bring the pattern up?!?! I will be sending off to Remington after the Holidays and hopefully get this addressed. This is a significant problem - however If they can replace the barrel, or whatever needs to be done and it starts hitting where it needs to they will have one very satisfied customer! The statement(s) of this being a hunk of junk.... I've shot junk - the 887 is a good gun and I'm even one of the guys that have a significant issue! This is the best choice for those of us that love to be out there but cannot justify 1,500 on a firearm. After all...it's duck hunting! I'll get back with you on what Remington does. I have been a faithful Remington customer - I'm hoping that the do the right thing and take care of the problem! Wow…kind of a split crowd regarding the 887.

I will be contacting remington tomorrow requesting a replacement gun of another model. I have the remington model 870 super mag already and it is a fine gun.For all the problems I have been having I think i deserve a totaly new gon of my choice from Reming at noadditional cost reguardleswss what the cost is. If it was my only shotgun I wopuld be without any gun for the whole hunting season. REMINGTON TAKE NOTICE OF THESE COMENTS AND ACT.

Try removing the port cover and see if that clears up your problem. If it does just contact Remington customer service and report your issue. I am sure they will make it right.

So far it has a different problem daily. It ejects shells from the mag instead of chambering them. The action gets hung at the back of the receiver. It locks up and I cant pump it down. Overall this gun is a big piece of plastic crap. Unless you are a 220 pound grown man you cannot shoot this gun because it takes every amount of energy just to pump the stupid thing. Worst design I have ever seen. DO NOT BUY THIS GUN UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES!!!!!! I bought the 887 in the max4-hd. So far it has a different problem daily.

I love it and want it to be my primary for deer season, but want a scope for longer ranges. I shot several slugs through it and no issues and I was open site standing and I was doing pretty good.

It is a waterfowl gun so i wouldnt suggest it to shoot deer. My suggestion to you is to get a cantilever barrel. If you are shooting slups out of a "bird barrel" you can be in for a world of hurt, because if the slup is even just a hair big it can turn your barrel into a grenade, meaning it can explode into pieces. As far as your "modified" barrel I have never heard of such a thing.........do you ean modified choke? If you use a bird barrel, your accuracy dramatically decreases because the point of a slug is the same as a rifle or handgun, it needs to spin with the rifling of the barrel for accuracy, but thats for sabots. The "rifled slugs" that they make that have the little plastic screw type piece are garbage, yes you can shoot the out of a bird barrel, but once again they aren't getting the needed rotation for accuracy due to the smooth barrel. So, if you shot a slug out of you gun and it cracked the barrel, i would probably turn to blaming the slugs rather than the gun, because like i said it only needs to be a hair too big. I know quite a few people that shoot rifled slugs out of bird barrels and never have had that problem. BUT it very well could be a gun problem. I own an 870 Express Super-Mag Ducks Unlimited Edition, and a 887 Nitro-Mag for my remingtons and i haven't had any problem with either of them fortunately. The 870 is a really high quality pump shotgun, mine has been through hell and back and it still works like new. My 887 is not very old, maybe a month and i took it out on goose opener here in Minnesota and it is a bad-ass gun. I had no problems and killed a pile of geese. I would strongly suggest buying an 887 if you are a duck hunter, you will not regret it!!!!!!!!!!!!REMINGTON!!!!!!!!!!!! The 887 nitro-mag is not a slug gun Joda.

The “rifled slugs” that they make that have the little plastic screw type piece are garbage, yes you can shoot the out of a bird barrel, but once again they aren’t getting the needed rotation for accuracy due to the smooth barrel. So, if you shot a slug out of you gun and it cracked the barrel, i would probably turn to blaming the slugs rather than the gun, because like i said it only needs to be a hair too big. I know quite a few people that shoot rifled slugs out of bird barrels and never have had that problem. BUT it very well could be a gun problem. I own an 870 Express Super-Mag Ducks Unlimited Edition, and a 887 Nitro-Mag for my remingtons and i haven’t had any problem with either of them fortunately. The 870 is a really high quality pump shotgun, mine has been through hell and back and it still works like new. My 887 is not very old, maybe a month and i took it out on goose opener here in Minnesota and it is a bad-ass gun. I had no problems and killed a pile of geese. I would strongly suggest buying an 887 if you are a duck hunter, you will not regret it!!!!!!!!!!!!REMINGTON!!!!!!!!!!!!

I decided to take this gun on a deer hunting trip to our family farm and after firing 3 Remington slugs through the gun, discovered it had about a 1 inch split in the muzzle end of the barrel. I have a 16 Ga. Winchester that I have owned for 30 years and fired many slugs in it with no damage to the barrel. I tried to get some help with this problem from Remington but the information I got was the warranty was only good for 1 year. This was certainly a defective barrel and now (after this incident) I don't trust the gun so I haven't used this gun for over two years and now it is no good to me like it is. Both the 870 20 Ga. and my Winchester 16 Ga. have modified barrels so they both are suppose to take the standard slugs. My winchester DOES. So I hope the new 887 has superior quality over the 870, if not, you should expect to have problems with it. Personally, I will never purchased another Remington firearm again.

Aron, if you are used to shooting Benelli's and all of the other over-priced guns, of course you wouldnt like the 887. Yes I will admit, I have shot a Benelli, and they are very nice, but still waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay overpriced, and i cannot justify spending that much when i can get the job done and do the same thing you can with your expensive gun. Remington is the way to go!! I own an 870 and so do a could of my duck hunting buddies and we have NEVER had any problems out in the field or on the lake. You can go ahead and drop the 870 in the lake, which I have done when i fell, pull it out and it will still function as if it were brand new, I also seen on the TV the new 887, they took it to the lake or pond whatever it was, burried it in the nasty muddy muck on the bottom of the lake,(any duck hunter knows what i talking about), anyways back to the story, the burried it, took it out, cleaned out the barrel and rinsed the outside off and it still fired brand new. Now take your Benelli out and do that and you will be in a world of hurt. Remington is by far the way to go. Just for clarification, i have shot a Benelli Nova ( crappy gun, worse than the Mossberg 535 i owned a few years ago) and i have also shot the Super Black Eagle II this gun was ok it was really comfortable, but i have heard a couple times that it likes to jam up im the cold. If you want semi-auto, i would either go with the Remington 11-87, really solid gun very versatile and not too heavy. Or i would go with the Winchester SX2, yes the SX2, the older model, but in my opinion the SX2 out-performed the SX3 by leaps and bounds, it handled the 3 1/2 mags a lot better than the SX3. The only thing the SX3 has on the SX2 is the shell cycling speed. But still i would suggest Remington overall for sure!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The black synthetic 887 is about $375 and the Max-4 887 is about $450. Plus the Remingtons are made in the good ol' USA.
