Well their is that option.
Why no love for arguably one of the finest pump shotguns ever made? Or is it the new stuff that you dont like?
I worked the gun counter at the local Academy during the wettest spring and summer in memory back in 2012. The Remington 870s with matte finish were rusting in the racks. I oiled them at least once a week during that period. The bean counters have pushed the engineers out and are making decisions that reduce the quality of the products in the name of profit. A friend has a matte 12 gauge turkey gun and it has to be wiped down every time he takes it out or it will rust.
My late uncle had an early 1970s Wingmaster that I would love to have, so I am not a Remington hater. It is just the finish on the Express shotguns and 700s that I dislike.
Also, I am left handed, so the Ithaca and Browning pumps do appeal to me. A left hand safety and I have a left hand gun and the empties do not fly across my face.
