Remington 870 Synthetic Tactical 7-Round
One of the best-known pump designs, now made by RemArms, here in a synthetic tactical trim with an 18.5-inch barrel.
Who it's for
- Pump-action: cycles almost any 12-gauge load you feed it, as long as you work the pump fully every time.
- Heavier at 7.5 lb — more to carry, but extra weight soaks up recoil.
