Deer hunters in shotgun-only areas know the value of a rifled barrel. This Remington 870 Express is a 12 gauge pump with a 23" fully rifled cantilever barrel, a four-round capacity, and a black synthetic stock and fore-end.

The cantilever mount lets you attach a scope directly to the barrel, and a rifled bore stabilizes slugs for better accuracy than a smoothbore. A recoil pad and a bit of range time go a long way toward comfortable shooting. It is a gun to carry through brush, a boat, or a field, so give it the care a working tool deserves.

That makes it a good choice for whitetail in the thick country of the Piedmont and the coastal plain, where shots are close. Check your hunting regulations on rifled barrels and slug use in your county.

It is no fancy gun, but it is dependable. The 870 action uses twin action bars to prevent binding. Pair it with a sabot slug and a decent scope and you have a real deer gun at a modest price.

The weight absorbs recoil, which helps. New. It ships to a North Carolina FFL dealer for pickup and the background check.
