870 field master
Store near me has them in stock. They have 12 a d 20 gauge, even the 20 with 21in barrel. I'm gonna get down soon to check them out. Anybody on here got one or heard any reviews on them yet?
Re: 870 field master
I’ve seen pictures and read online about them and they look like a nice gun. Remington has been so hit or miss over the last 20 years not sure how they will perform

870 field master
My turkey gun of choice is a Remington 870. One nice thing about the 870 is that they are ubiquitous and are highly modifiable, which means one can find a different barrel length, stocks, rifled barrels for slugs, you name it. I have a red dot on mine.
If one wants to use 3.5” shells then a Super Mag is the 870 of choice.

Re: 870 field master
I looked at one a few months back, to me they look more like an Express with walnut wood, I don't mean that as to down grade the Express because they are a fine gun just made for a price point gun. A 20 gauge Express around here in nice condition will bring 450 on the used market. I have had many Wingmasters through the years and they are a fine shotgun, I'm sure the Field Master will be a fine shotgun as well.

I agree, the Express are good guns at a good price and the Wingmasters are also great. I'm sure the Field Master will be a good shotgun too.

I looked at one and to me it was a new take on the SPS of the late 1980s. I would like to know if they skipped the final honing of the barrel like they did on the express vs the wingmaster and SPS. It was a cost savings tool that most people didn't realize wasn't done and that's why so many cheaper 870s had rough bores.
