What is a good price for a Remington 870 express?

Title says it all.

It just depends on which sporting goods store is running a sale on the weekend.

Buying. From the research I've done it seems that they go for about $200-$400 Depending on its condition. Does that sound right?

This time, you get what you pay for !!

I'd say $250.00 to $325.00 and on the new ones and better spent elsewhere. This is the first time I will recommend a Mossberg, over a Remington. I'm only referring to the new Expresses and not the older ones or WingMasters. ....


Be Safe !!!

Considering that I have a new express that's being rechambered... I'm going to agree with you... The factory chamber is undersized and the relief cut for the rim isn't deep enough...

What mossberg would be good for around the same price? I plan to hunt a bit with it.

That price range is about right. Just shop around and look for sales. If there is a gun show near you sometime soon, you'll most likely be able to find a bunch on the lower end of that range. Good luck.

I would just get a mossberg 500 and call it a day. I use mine to to hunt deer, pig, birds, and also an HD gun. You can pick one up for the same price as an 870. I don't dislike the 870 as I have one myself, I just like to 500 better.
