vole Posted September 3, 2008 Report Share Posted September 3, 2008 Cant find the RRP of the above. Any idea please? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
throdgrain Posted September 4, 2008 Report Share Posted September 4, 2008 I was quoted £666.00 (no joke!) by Andersons in East Grinstead a while back, I ordered one but two months later I was still waiting so I gave up. I wanted a 26" barrel Wingmaster, but it wasnt to be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
njc110381 Posted September 4, 2008 Report Share Posted September 4, 2008 For a standard 870 Express, about £400. Not too bad really. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vole Posted September 4, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 4, 2008 £666 !! I was hoping because theyre imported by Edgar Bros I might get a good deal as I did with the Escort.Will see what the RFD can do me one for maybe. Thanks fellers.

mossy835 Posted September 4, 2008 Report Share Posted September 4, 2008 i had one you will enjoy it, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
throdgrain Posted September 4, 2008 Report Share Posted September 4, 2008 Yeah £666.00 An incongrous figure, but the Wingmaster is a nicer gun than the Express, I already have a Mossberg 500 anyway, which is a similar kind of thing to the Express. As I say, I gave up with the idea in the end anyway, getting a 26" barrel Wingmaster new became impossible, even though there's loads of 26" Express's.

vole Posted September 5, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 5, 2008 Daft question perhaps but can you cycle the Remmy or Mossberg so the spent shells fall at your feet? I do alot of shooting from natural cover and the Escort chucks them into places they are hard to get back. I hate to leave anything around. Thanks!

throdgrain Posted September 5, 2008 Report Share Posted September 5, 2008 No you cant really, but for what it's worth they dont chuck empty cartridges as far as a semi-auto. I use mine for DTL occasionally, and often the spent shell lands in the bucket to my right, not very far away. I always make a point of this to the ground owner There's a lot to consider when buying an 870 or a 500a. The Mossberg I think has a better placed safety, and the slide release is in a much better place. On the other hand the Wingmaster is better finished*, and easier (a bit) to dismantle. *Not sure this would apply to the Express though.

Baldrick Posted September 6, 2008 Report Share Posted September 6, 2008 Vole, if you want a pump-action that ejects empties at your feet, then look around for a Browning BPS. I still kick myself for selling mine, as it knocked the spots off the Wingmaster, Mossberg and Winchester pumps I have owned since. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vole Posted September 6, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 6, 2008 Thanks for all the replies. Thing is its a tight budget but might be willing to trade the Escort. It has let me down a couple of times. Usually I only take one shot so the faster cycling of the semi is not a major plus.I also seem to do better shooting with a single barreled shotgun. I like the tang mounted safety of the mossberg but the build of the remington seems better. Budget wise its these 2 that seem to be about my price range.

mudpatten Posted September 6, 2008 Report Share Posted September 6, 2008 Fair enough if you`re set on an 870, but have you looked at a Benelli Super Nova. Apparently cheaper and better made. Nick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vole Posted September 6, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 6, 2008 Yeah I have . Very tasty looking and I read they are indestructible.Also read they weigh nearly 8lb which put me off a bit. Not seen one in the local shops though.I have only really handled the mossy and the Remington.Not shot them though,or any pump for that matter. I thought if it was cheap enough then i would give them a go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paladin Posted September 6, 2008 Report Share Posted September 6, 2008 Hi how about adding the Ithaca 37 to your shopping list, the original bottom ejecting, drop em at your feet pump action. its the one they coppied, I handled one many years ago, I think the 37 (1937) was the year they first sold them.
