30"(I think) barrel, couple chokes with it(one an extended full turkey), a nice scope(no name but the best eye-relief I've ever seen), matte finish(not parkerized, what is it), perfect finish but the wood is a little rough, Magnum receiver. Figure I'll slap a set of Mossy Oak furniture I found still in the package on it. $300.00

Did I do good? I assume after turkey season I can slap a mag ext and a stubby barrel on it for around the house? It's got a pivoting sling swivel on the mag cap, too. Is that a common item on these or did I get an extra goodie?

$300 for an 870 with that stuff?

I bought mine new for $250!

Dude, you did well. And the 870 won't let you down, unless you treat it like total crap.

:evil:

Reverse your numbers.

Scope = $60
Xtra stock/forearm = $60
Choke tube = $20
Mag swivel = $10

Accessories total = $150

Looks to me like you paid $150 for the 870. That's a goood deal all day long. :D

Sounds like an 870 Express with some good accessories. $300 is a good price. I paid $225 for an older Wingmaster, non-magnum with no accessories, not even a case. All-in-all, you got a good deal. Now shoot it -- BA/UU/R :)

Good deal. Add a short barrel, mag extension optional, and use it for HD. Meanwhile, hie yourself down to the range and pattern it. Use the lightest loads you can find and shoot whatever clay game's available. Have fun and BA/UU/R.
