Everyone should have at least one 870 or Model 12.  It would have to be really rough to not be worth $120. Jerry Sounds like a good truck or barn gun.

Rem 870 12 gage shotgun for 120 $moochies?
Comes from a woman @ Ned's work, and, NO, he didn't ask how old it was or how much it has been used....
Any thoughts...as I know little about shotguns?! I just know I am right eye dominant, and she'll dance...that way.
Thanks!! It all depends on condition.. But even if it's a turd, aesthetics-wise, it's cheap as long as it functions ok..

is it an express, an express magnum, a wingmaster? What is it?
I guess even if it's a short chamber express it probably worth 120 just to have around for upland game etc.
Something clever here.

Sounds like just the ticket for some of the ND pheasants, grouse, waterfowl, and turkeys you will be hunting next fall HG.

THUD!!! God save ingwe's soul, for the "Big Sky" has fallen on him..  PS. 2.75 will work on wolves too Jane - if you decide to join the SSS outlaws. Somehow, I don't see that happening though.

Brent..I think we also agree on the cow issue to an extent...I'm so accustomed to eating game that the last time my hunting pard took me out and bought me a steak ( from a cow..) I told him " We gotta go shoot some of these!! "

While the 870 isn't exactly the world's standard for a pump shotgun, I'd say it would do OK in a wolf woods when load with 00buck. And for a hunert bucks......sheesh!

The Mayans had it right. If you�re going to predict the future, it�s best to aim far beyond your life expectancy, lest you wind up red-faced in a bunker overstocked with Spam and ammo.

ingwe, indeed, dead cow is one of my FAVORITE foods.
870s rule. Every single time. Only weenie Chevy & Toy 'guys' would advocate for a Winnie M12 (M97 is marginally acceptable in a pinch) over an 870....
If you feel the gay, get an M12 - everyone else an 870 rocks

I have one 870. Fine gun it is, plain Jane, smooth and always dependable. Kind of reminds me of my 72, 750 Honda cycle.
I also have a Model 12 and a Model 97. Again, nothing fancy on either just good solid shotguns. They kind of remind me of my past Harley Davidson motorcycles.
So, I guess it's just a clash of class. Kind of like Hondas vs Harleys.
