Price check for NIB Rem 870?

mpthole · February 22, 2002, 05:51 PM

I've got an opportunity to pick up a NIB Remington 870 for $200. Is this a decent price? This is one of those deals that even though I don't really 'need' another shotgun, I've always kind of wanted either a Moss 500 or Rem 870... So, whadya think?

Around here (South Carolina) good bordering on great price!

Oh my gosh, that's a terrible price. He's trying to rip you off. Give me his number and I'll save you from this purchase.

Actually, that's a very good price. The cheapest I've ever seen them here was just before deer season and they were $210. I'd jump on that bargain. You can never have too many guns.

I bought a 12ga. 870 Express Magnum on sale for $199.95 marked down from $229.95

In 1993.

I've been shopping around for one in central NC and am not able to find one for less than 270 or so.

Good price, buy a couple....

Thanks guys! I'll try to let you know how it turns out. Should be picking it up in the next week.

Good price. I paid $195 ($210 with tax) and thought I got a great deal.

Al Thompson · February 23, 2002, 05:11 PM

NC-VT, try a Wal-Mart for an Express..

Gizmo, why do you say east coast only, are the priced different that the rest of the chain? I know around here (WA) the express at Wally costs $300 for 12 ga. and $250 for 20 ga.

Sincerely,
Adam

Adam, the poster in North Carolina has NC-VT as his handle...

BTW, those prices are a bit high for South Carolina.. Here, most 870 expresses are in the $244.00 and up range..

I just bought an NIB Rem 870 Express from Sports Authority for $239 before tax and background check here in Florida. That was the best price I could find on a new one. Walmart had them for $244. Mine came with a 28" barrel with a replacable modified choke. It also has the new lockable safety and the dimples in the magazine tube (since dremeled off for the addition of an extended magazine).

Well I'll be. I guess we all have to feel stupid at least once a day

. It is a dececptive name though, you've at least got to give me that.

Sincerely,
Adam

Adam, your not stupid.. It's just an internet thing...

In the Pacific Northwest the Bi-Mart chain has the Express models on sale until the 27th.

3" Chamber = $219
3.5" = $259

These are the standard models with the wood stocks. Not sure how many choke tubes they come with. Good price though. They also have 10/22's for $129

I don't work there, but I do like the store. They have helpful salespeople that know their stuff. Too bad they don't sell handguns anymore (they used to).
