This is my first post here because I have found this forum accidentally searching for information about Remington 870
I have a Remington 870 Express and I highly recommend it. This was my first shotgun and I didn't have any experience with shotguns/rifles before.
It was very easy to learn how to disassemble, reassemble, clean and install different upgrades and accessories. This shotgun is very simple to use even for a complete newbie.
One of the very important factors is that there are tons of information about Remington 870 on the web.
