I got one heck of a deal!

I stopped into my local pawn shop to look around. When I walked in I saw the the attendant putting out some shotguns from the back and I noticed he had a nice 870 field model in his hand. I asked to see it and turned out it was in like new condition with a turkey choke in it. I asked how much for this 870. The attendant grinned at me and said "for you, 200 otd". I said "I'll take it".

It shoots great. I think I got a heck of a deal.

How old? I get them for less around here

I'm not sure the age. It looks un used. There's no ring on the bolt the finish and wood are perfect. These sale between 389 and 450 new here.

A used Express is around 175 but a Wingmaster will take at least 250 and you have to be quick. 20g bring better money than 12g in my area.

The older Wingmasters in great shape will get 350 or so.

New Wingmasters are over priced in my opinion and the older ones are always smoother unless they have an issue

Great guns though, I have 4 20g and want more, its an addiction
