The Remington 870 series maintains its position as a benchmark in pump-action shotgun design, known for its robust construction and consistent performance. The 870 Fieldmaster is engineered to uphold this legacy, offering a utility-focused 12-gauge platform optimized for diverse applications, including hunting, sport shooting, and general field use.
Key Features
Receiver Construction
The foundation of the 870 Fieldmaster’s durability and reliability is its receiver, precisely milled from a solid billet of steel. This manufacturing process ensures structural integrity and dimensional stability, mitigating flex and ensuring consistent cycling under demanding conditions. The receiver is factory drilled and tapped, facilitating the direct mounting of optics or accessory rails without requiring custom modification, thereby expanding its utility beyond standard iron sights.
Action Reliability
Equipped with an improved twin action bar system, the 870 Fieldmaster is engineered to resist binding and twisting, which are common issues in lesser-grade pump mechanisms. This design ensures exceptionally smooth and reliable cycling, promoting rapid follow-up shots and consistent shell extraction and feeding, critical for field performance when speed and precision are paramount.
Sighting System
This model features a high-visibility white bead front sight, providing a clear and rapid aiming reference for fast-moving targets. The integral optics-ready receiver further enhances target acquisition flexibility, allowing for the integration of red dot sights or low-power variable optics to optimize performance across varying light conditions and engagement ranges.
Choke System
The 870 Fieldmaster is compatible with the industry-standard RemChoke system, providing a versatile solution for pattern density management. It ships with three interchangeable choke tubes, enabling the operator to customize shot patterns for specific applications—from wide dispersal for close-range upland game to tighter patterns for waterfowl or clay targets, enhancing its adaptability for a broad spectrum of shooting disciplines.
Ergonomics & Finish
The shotgun incorporates black synthetic furniture, designed for resilience and low maintenance in challenging environments. This material choice offers consistent grip and resistance to moisture and impacts. The metalwork features a non-reflective matte black finish, which minimizes glare and enhances concealment in outdoor settings, while providing a degree of corrosion resistance.
