Remington 870 16ga for $275?

I have the opportunity to buy a Like new in box, 1988 Remington 870 wingmaster 16ga for $275...Good deal? This gun is absolutely gorgeous...and If I toss in another $50 I can have the 500rnds of buckshot and several hundred rounds of bird shot. Should I?

I would. I'd pay the extra $50 too.

The more I think about it, The more I lean towards it. I used to have a bolt action 16ga and I fell in love with that round. My uncle has it so I'll probably make payments on it.

What is there to think about? Go for it.

Go for it, 16 gauge guns usually handle better than a 12 , and with the ammo deal it's a yes.

And of course there is always www.16ga.com thats all they talk about is 16's.

IMO,(but I like the 16) a no brainer. And get the ammo as well.
