ok so i have had this gun for like 6 years and i hate it when people say this gun sucks or it is no dependalble t\because that is sooo not true, dont beilieve any of these people that are ginving the bad reviews because its not the gun its them, its how you pump it, if you pump it to slow or the wrong way it WILL get jammed SOME of the time but thats true with most pump shotguns, i love this gun but i would get the one with the long barrel and chokes because even though this is a great gun its a great gun for the money, it doesnt even compare to benneli but if your someone who cant spend like 1000 dollars on a gun then this gun is excellent so all im saying is to buy this gun you will be amazed and yea sometimes it acts up but if you know how to use it it will never jam but i do ahve to admit that it is very heavy so to solve this problem i lifted weights a little for a few months and i discovered it ddnt matter the weight so i hope ive helped make a good decision but i highly reccomend this gun.

I bought a brand new synthetic 870 super mag 3 1/2inch around christmas time last year (2008). I am very pleased with this gun. After reading all the bad reviews I think I may be one of the lucky ones. Since I purchased it I've shot hundreds upon hundreds of shells of all different brands. I must mention I do keep my gun very clean and well lubricated. I always have a thin coat of Rem-oil applied to moving parts just like the owners manual says. The only issue I have with the gun is when I'm out shooting clays and the barrel gets really hot, the pump will lock up and I have a hard time cycling a new round. I usually just wait 30 seconds for it to cool down and it works fine. But like I said, this only happens when the barrel is really really hot (after 15 consecutive shots) so in a hunting scenario this has never happened to me. I know there are better shotguns out there but I picked up my 870 brand new for dirt cheap (around $200) and I am very happy with it so far. I out-shoot my buddy and his Browning BPS any day of the week.....but I'm sure that's just the shooter, not the gun.

Just bought my son a Remington 870 Express Youth Model, wish I hadn't. My son is 11 and what a heart breaking experience, he went through about 26 hours of hunter training class and he can't even go hunting. Took it out clay pigeon shooting before he got through with the class and shot off about 150 shells and seemed to do fine. Now it doesn't eject the shells and the slide is now jammed up (while cleaning it). Poor kid is so frustrated. I am really disappointed too, I thought Remington was a great brand.

I purchased the AL391 Urika to replace an 20+ year old Remington 1100; on balance it was a mistake. I wanted the option of 3-inch chamber; the 1100 was 2 3/4 only. I find the Beretta somewhat lighter and certainly easier to carry for upland hunting. It points well but I have several faults with it:
1) Mechanical reliablility: In spite of diligent and repeated cleaning the weapon fails to cycle about 20% of the time with standard 1 1/8 steel shells. It ejects withour fail but the bolt hangs up and does not fully chamber the second round. 2) Cloeaning complexity: more parts and more hassle than the 1100 ever was 3) wood finish: the 391 has a mat/satin finish that is very attractive but tends to chip easily. In waterfowl use which is tough on any weapon, it has acquired dings that chip the finish but do not pierce the wood.

Would I buy it again??? Tough call, I like the handling characteristicsw but the mechanical feeding problems are a major disappointment. The 1100 worked...any time and everytime.

I have shot this gun for 25 years. It has had several thousand rounds thru it. Most of this, high brass magnum Duck and Turkey loads. I still smile at the quality of wood and fit and finish. I also have an 870 wingmaster, never had a failure.. The only BPS problem is receiver ramp scoring from heavy loads. I had gunsmith polish ramp down 10 yrs. ago and it has been perfect since. I would recommend for upland game. The bluing and finish have held up better on BPS.

I've owned a Remington 11-87 light contours shotgun for approx 6 six years now. I have honestly not had a single ounce of trouble with it. It absolutely shoots as fast as I can pull the trigger and never a single jam. I have a glossy wood stock and it is just as beautiful now as the day i bought it. The only issue that I am dealing with now is that the 30" barrel is a bit too long for brush hunting so I am in the process of buying a 26" barrel from Cabela's. I will use the 30" barrel strictly for duck and geese hunting. I dont know about all the other negative reviews which I have read about this type of shotgun but I am extremely happy with mine and would recommend this shotgun to anybody out there. Thankyou to Remington for producing a lovely and reliable shotgun!!

Bought the rifle in 2007 . Have Used it for 2 hunting trips , this year while walking across a hay field I stumbled and started to fall . went down on one knee and the rifle hit the ground from 18 to 20" . The stock shatterd like it was made of glass, There must of been stress fractures in the wood. When I called Browning and asked for help -- the customer service said Sorry about that - here is a phone number where you can buy a new replacement stock. I then asked if they would stand behind thier product - thier reply was you broke it - you fix it .
I would not recommend anyone to buy a Browning product -- they will not help you in any way !!!!!! Their service department bites , along with their products and warrenty's . I am forwarding this message to every hunter I know and I hope they do the same - Browning doesn't care about you - only your money
PS
The hayfield was not hard packed nor were they any rocks for the rifle to hit -- just cheap materials and shoddy workmanship and lousy customer concern.
Don't buy BROWNING

Ok this was my first auto loader, I have shot a Remington 870 for 10 years without a problem. I've yet to fully clean it (other than bore). When I first picked up the Spartan, I can say I was rather impressed. I had shot about 2 case of shells through it in pre-season at skeet and trap with full break down cleaning between outings. Opening weekend of duck season the gun failed on me. There is nothing worse to an avid duck hunter than a gun not ejecting shells. After shooting single shot my first day out with it, I quickly stored it away. Luckily to me a freind brought along a back up 870 as a I was sure my new "SPARTAN" would not fail. My suggestion to you would be to stay with an AMERICAN made gun!!!!!!!!

I got my 11-87 Sportsman for my Grad Gift in 2006. I love the gun it's my baby. i have shot over 50,000+ rounds through it and have never had a jam. Thats rite you heeard rite 50,000+ rounds. I shot trap with it and won both state and the grand with it and many other shoots. it has killed over a couple dozen ducks and geese, quite a few squirrels, and my first deer. The one thing i do know is you def should clean it after every time you go shooting or hunting. I Love This Gun! Hell i'm using it this weekend for opening day of waerfowl!
