I agree with the previous post. The 870 is an excellent design. Bring back the Wingmaster with a high blue and great fit and finish, I was given one by my father when I graduated from high school in 1979. Wonderful gun that I treasure. People will pay for quality. There are a ton of us Remington fans out there. I hope they continue back to the top.

I grew up with my dad being a Remington man. I’ve used them all my life and own a few. I’m glad to see they’re working to get back to what the name Remington stood for.

This is so nice to see, I hope Remington continues this pattern to making the 870 what it used to be before the quality got so bad. Build a good product and the customer will keep coming back!

I like this fieldmaster... looks way better than the "Express" line. I would gladly purchase a fieldmaster or Wingmaster if reintroduced. Great Job

Maybe I'm just too old but I miss traditional bluing and hand checkering. Yes more expensive but worth it to me.

I'd like to see Remington continue their journey towards the high quality firearms of old, maybe even reintroduce the Remington Wingmaster but If the do I hope they do so with a deep blued finish like was typically found on those manufactured a half century ago instead of the matte finish that's standard in most firearms today.

Good job Remington ! I'll definitely take a look at your shotgun now. I have noticed your ongoing work with ammunition and trying to get the quality up and I truly appreciate it.

I am an old Remington fan,1100,870 field special,700,and many old 22LRs.I am pulling for you Remington!!

Finally, quality guns from Remington again, I’ll be buying some of their new guns when I finally see them on the shelf. I grew up shooting Remington and I’ve missed them…

I hope they bring out a version with shiny blue steel and wood like they used to make I love a deep bluing

Just from the looks it is a much better effort than the Express. I do still hope at some point they will offer a polished blue version even on a limited basis.

Great to see Remington producing quality guns again. Have one of these in the mail to my FFL so this review was timely. Happy to be investing in a Remington renaissance.

So glad Remington is doing this. Good job

I bought a new 870 Fieldmaster 20 gauge specifically for upland game hunting this year, I can tell you the fit and finish is one of the best I’ve seen in a LONG time on anything under $2,000. It reminds me of a Winchester model 70 I really wanted like 14 years ago but I didn’t have the money at the time. It’s very nicely done, but not polished shiny blue like a browning that you don’t even want to get fingerprints on because you can see them from space, no this gun wants to put meat on your table, but there’s nothing that you have to rationalize a justification, excuse or apology for. Like when you buy some guns and your like “well this or that isn’t perfect but that’s okay cause it’s going to get beaten up in the field anyway”, you don’t have to do that with this gun. I’ll tell you I almost bought another Mossberg 500, but after handling the 870 it actually fit me personally better and I much preferred the aesthetics of it, the Mossberg forend looked and felt like a 4x6, and I almost made the excuse “that’s okay cause I know it’ll function fine for what I’ll be using it for”, but I thought this one time, I’m going to spend $100 more and get the gun I REALLY like and I don’t have to make excuses for, and after taking it out in the field, I think it’s a bargain at only $100 more than a Mossberg. Again, not that the Mossberg won’t function fine and everything, but I’ve now owned both a Mossberg 500 and a Remington 870 Fieldmaster at different times, the Remington didn’t cut up my thumb from loading it all day, the actual was much slicker, the whole gun was just smoother and more intuitive for me. I’m actually glad I bought one when I did, because I put these more in the category of a Browning BPS and I think their price is going to go up shortly. Part of the reason I almost got a Mossberg even though I didn’t like it as well was because there is a LOT of negative press in the gun world regarding Remington quality right now, even the salesman at another store told me “I wouldn’t buy a Remington right now”, fortunately I’ve been part of the gun community long enough and I’ve owned and shot firearms long enough I can usually take what people are saying with a grain of salt and form my own conclusions, and times like this certainly make me appreciate that I don’t just take people word for it.

Thanks for the preview! This is the way to go, in my opinion. There has been a race to the bottom in the pump market and Remington is smart to go in the other direction.

Good to see Remington back, producing what appears to be a good looking, quality product...

Just bought one and ran a box of shells through it, runs like a dream.

I have a 870 express. Bought it about 20 years ago. My favorite shotgun. I beat the hell out of it hunting and I have never had a jam or any issue. Glad to see them keep it up!

A quality, well finished and built Wingmaster will be appreciated. Be sure to include the .410 on the smaller frame!

I would love to get a brand new wingmaster built with the same quality as the 20g I had back in 1978.

The 870 is an icon in the shotgunning world. Remington management has realized they need to emphasize quality over engaging in price competition with imports from third-world country. Best to them.

You do it the best, brother. Your diligence in holding their feet to the fire has influenced Remington's goals, I think. Speaks well of your (increasing) influence. Please keep up the good, straight-forward, honest reviews. MANY thanks!

I had a 16 Guage 870 that I went with my Dad as a little boy in a White's Auto store, Wingmaster. Smooth operation and beautiful finish. My dad never took the gun apart, only wiped it down at the end of a hunt, consequently when I inherited it I stripped it as far as the trigger group would allow and scrubbed dust and sand for half an hour at least using a soft toothbrush and a full bottle of Hoppe's and 100 patches until like new. Smooth as silk from then on. Now I have a retired police model 1100, 12 Guage. Same scenario, disassembled from fore grip to butt plate. Chock full of carbon, two days of soaking and scrubbing to remove. Replaced the O-ring which crumbled in disassembly, oiled, wiped down, took to the range, ran 2 boxes of field loads without a hiccup, fantastic weapon 👏 😀

Looks nice. I had the express maybe 35 years ago. My 1st 12 guage. Spent many hours in the woods with it. Loved that gun.

I grew up with Remington..first gun I bought for myself was a 16 Guage 870..glad they are back the right way

I'm happy to see Remington is still in business and making quality firearms.

Good ole Remington 🌟🌟

I am really happy to see the step up in quality with this new 870. Honestly this puts Remington back on my radar when it comes to looking at a new gun. I am glad they sent you out the gun to review

Purchased a 20 gauge fieldmaster yesterday at rural king. Everything on it is perfect. Action is slick as snot. I wanted a 26" barrel on the 20 gauge but they were clearancing the 28" version and it was 429 vs 499 (for the 26") so I just took the 28" barrel instead of the 26. With the 70 bucks I saved, I put the money towards more ammo and a soft case. Very pleased so far. It's no wingmaster but it is definitely an upgrade to the express models.

I have an old wingmaster from the 50s. Great gun. Hope they make the 870s like that one.

Just purchased 12 ga. Fieldmaster. Compares favorably with '71 wingmaster I have, the checkering is even better on new gun Fit and finish very good at this price point, slide action buttery out of the box. Forearm snug, no wobble. Hats off to RemArms!

Just purchased mine 3 days ago. Saw it on the shelf and thought, I haven’t seen one in a few years on shelves. Bought it without question. 12 gauge field master 28”

Great review, glad to Remington coming around, one of my favorite gun makers. I love my old 870, it's like the old work truck of shotguns.

That Fieldmaster looks like an Express with walnut, but seems to function a little better.

As a Remington fan I am very excited to see this. Hopefully they do the same with the 700 bolt rifles.

I love the 870! probably the best basic all around weapon ever produced. Glad to see the Quality has improved.

I love how you made me feel about my favorite shotgun !! Great job man

I own a 1974 wingmaster ducks unlimited 870 and a 1981 standard 870 wingmaster. These guns are not only functionally dependable but bueatifiul pieces of work. I just recently bought the 1981 870 in like new condition and will buy these older 870s anyday over the new ones.

I really enjoy your reviews. Keep up the great work.

Thanks for the update David!!!

It looks quite nice! Thanks, David!

Great! My only question was about the barrel interchangeability and you answered that as well. I will definitely be looking into one when they hit stores.

I have a lot of fond memories with this line of pumps. I'm glad it survived Remington's bankruptcy.

I just purchased this exact one from the local gun shop. I love it

I grew up with my father being a gunsmith. Remington firearms was his choice for a good reason back then. I hope these a actions now will return my thoughts back to what my family loved

WITHOUT A DOUBT THE GREATEST SHOTGUN " EVER " MADE , PERIOD ! ! !

I wish Remmy all the best, this is a step in the right direction.

I can confirm the new 870’s for and finish are much better with Remarms production. Just picked up a tactical.

I love my 870 express magnum 28"! Bought it in 1998 and I couldn't tell you the amount of game that it has taken! Hopefully this fieldmaster brings remington back up to the top!🇺🇲🇺🇲

Good review young man !! Keep up the good work .

This is nice like the stock chechering was looking good ! Very nice budget pump enjoyed your review keep it up !!

Not everyone has to go for the cheap market. The Fieldmaster in this movie is a nice gun. Keep up the good work. Nice review.

Good looking 870 shot gun. Hopefully they will make it in 20 gauge. Thanks for the update

I wish them success it looks like a really nice shotgun I like the non-glare finishes over the old super shiny glossy stuff.

It's like a work of art, beautiful for a common shotgun!!

Thank you for keeping us informed

Very happy to see Remington coming back from the grave. I bought an Express back in the 90's. Have always loved it. Bought a second one around 2007. Slight quality drop. Had to take some sandpaper to it to get it to eject properly, but it runs great now. I did notice the trigger guard on the older one is metal, and the newer one is plastic. Thought that was interesting. Bought a 700 in the 90's as well in 30-06. They all take deer quite well. The Fieldmaster in the video looks very nice. Something to recommend to a younger generation. Local box store has them on sale for $459.99. That's what got me interested in who's making Remington now. Again, really nice to see a positive review.

I have a 870 express I purchased in 1990 and to this day still love it 😁

Nice to see Remington producing quality arms again, fit and finish looks good reminds me of the 1187 Sportsmans Field they were putting out a while ago I hope they bring that one back too as I've been wanting one of them in a 20ga.

I have a 870 express synthetic. I want one of those new fieldmasters, man they look good to me 👍👍

I own a Wingmaster, left hand, bought it in 1956. Came with a modified fixed choke barrel. Bought another barrel in the 1980’s to use screw in chokes. I hate the “Express”. I can’t wait to buy a Fieldmaster in left hand. Thanks Remington.

Great review. Thank you !

Well I'll tell you one thing it is really really nice to see Remington had stepped up their game very very nice

This is a dream come true for those of us with "green" blood. If they keep this up, they'll slowly but surely restore the reputation of the company. I want to see the Ilion plant continue on for the sake of tradition. I also hope the new Georgia plant is a huge success. Any time, and in any of the fifty states that high quality guns are being made, is cause for celebration.

I just got the field master and it’s very nice I don’t care what anyone says! Keep your guns clean and take care of them and they’ll return the favor 🫡🇺🇸 the new field master is a solid choice!

If Remington brings back the Wingmaster, I'll purchase it without hesitation! I treasure my older Wingmaster and would love to purchase a new one that I can pass on for many generations!!

I own a few Remingtons. A few 870 and had a old 1970s 1100. My 1100 80s. Looks nice very refined. Good walnut. And I’m sure reliable. ! Keep it in production Americans will buy them. 🇺🇸

Great review, gonna pick one up

Looks great!… keep making quality and people will buy.

I really like this, I’ve always been a 870 fan. I own 4 of these. 2 wingmaster 1 magnum 1 express. I wish they would have engraved fieldmaster after Remington 870 and blued the steel.

I'm excited I've always liked Remington

It's nice to find real Remington... The 870 is the best pump shotgun of all time, I have a 1975 Wingmaster, a 1979 Police Wingmaster and a 1989 Police Magnum and the build quality is just incredible. I'm thinking of buying the new Field Master for 28" barrel hunting if the manufacturing quality is good again. because my 3 Remington 870s are in 18" and 20" barrels

Wow! Looks really good. If I see one it will likely come home with me

I hope they do well. My very old Wingmaster is a top-notch pump gun.

Your show is great 👍👍👍

Very nice. So far so good.

Looks like a very nice upland game firearm. Hopefully Rem will continue upwards and make sure it's stamped "made in the USA" !

Good job Remington.

Note to Remington I favor the Winchester sxp field compact because it has a 13" length of pull I don't shoot my Mossberg 500 cause my arms are too short good review I'm glad to see quality upgrades from Remington

Just bought this as my first ever gun. Getting my hunting license this year and will be getting a rifle barrel for this as well. Very excited

I have a used 870 express and I have no issues with it. Good gun.

Looking forward to new 700s . Very nice work on the 870

I have purchased two of these since they reintroduced them. I am very happy with the quality, detail, and functionality. Could have saved 150 going the Turkish route but you all better get these USA made guns while you can. Your kids and grandkids will thank you!

I've got a 12 guage 870 Wingmaster I bought at JC Penny back in 1970. Paid a little over $100 bucks for it. It's still my favorite shotgun in my collection of ten bought since then.

Me So Happy that Remington is on the way up.

Just got my new 870 Fieldmaster super mag. Saw good reviews and wanted to buy a new 870 that was well made like the older ones.. Action was very smooth out of the box and the gun is beautifully made. Nice furniture and glass bead finish. Haven't been to the range with it yet, but the gun cycled snap-caps flawlessly and I see no reason while it won't perform with real ammo.

Fantastic handle.

Just picked up one today, my boy turned 13 said he wants an 870 12ga I was like what’s the express I seen this and was blown away

I have been shooting 870s in virtually all forms for the last 50 years I shot an 870 Comp for one of my trap guns shooting 12K rounds a year with that gun, they are also very predictable in when parts are going to be needed, firing pins, the receiver is good for around 450K rounds then the stretch starts to show in the lockup. I shot some very high end trap shoots in both FL and AZ and of course all through the midwest and it always made me proud to have my Comp in the gun rack and there wasnt a gun in the rack that wasnt 15K or many much higher and my 870 Comp. Anybody with the big Italian name guns were always my target and I very seldom lost to them! I have owned many many shotguns over the years some very expensive doubles and un-singles etc. but in the end if I had to only pick ONE to see me through whatever it would be an 870!

I've taken Express models and bent the action bars to fit so there is no drag on them, and then smoothed them up with a file and smoothed everything else that moves to make them as smooth as the Wingmasters. Once properly fitted, they're a very smooth operating gun.

love the new stock!

I wish I could get a 510 Targermaster. So cool the Remington are still being produced.

I would give anything if they’d make this in a 22 inch compact! It would be perfect for us vertically challenged shooters. Beautiful shotgun… welcome back Remington 🇺🇸

Good looking gun. I think that nailed it

Sounds like Remington reached out to you sent you a gun and a check to gove a great review

Nice to see Remington on their way back to Quality of OLD" ';-)

Be nice to see one with that rich deep bluing of earlier years. They even have a ceracote that matches it pretty close.

Seems better, time will tell. Other than the plastic trigger guard and hopefully the finish prohibits rust better than the Express. Still the Wingmaster is the one ...hope they decide to go that route as well.

I can't wait to get my hands on one of these

wow this is great to see I got my wing master 1973 and still own got it for 8th grade graduation the fit and finish was beautiful nice to see its back my kids know the 870 goes in the box with Dad
