I received a few of the 870 Express Tactical GRS shotguns last week and I like what I see. This shotgun is hell of a deal for anyone looking for these type of features on an 870. In my opinion Remington hit home run with this model 870 shotgun. I don't have pictures to show because I need a new camera.

The sights and rail are made by XS. They are nice, very low profile and adjust for windage and elevation. 1/2 turn of the GR aperture moves the impact 1/2" @ 25 yards.

It comes with:

*XS Adj GRS & rail combo Big white dot front
*Barrel tapped for choke tubes
*Ported Breacher choke tube
*receiver drilled & tapped
*Factory +2 tube ext kit
*Black Oxide finish
*870 Tactical on the receiver
*SpeedFeed LE forend
*New 870 polymer stock Remington is now putting on their 870 shotguns


The after market cost for all the added features.

870 Express with factory tube extension about $340 now.

XS rail GRS combo - probably around $125
Ported choke tube - $50
Choke tubes install on a shotgun barrel - $50
SpeedFeed LE forend- $15
Drill and tap for scope mount- $60

Total = $300 + $340 = $640

The 870 Tactical Exp GRS is an excellent deal. It offers more than the 870P GRS shotguns at a better price.

If I personally owned one I would sale the ported Breacher choke tube and get some of my money back.
