Back in February, and again at end of May several Gander locations still had a few 870 XCS Marine Magnums for $649. Being able to leave aboard boat, not having to clean off salt spray until trip over, and not having shiny "aim here" finish for HD purposes 95 percent of time were worth the...
I think that was Remington's plan, but either sales weren't enough for the expensive TriNyte (Vapor Particle Deposition?) finish, or they were getting too many imperfections. My original purchase; the replacement barrel that took 9weeks to ship; and a third one that Gander ordered all had an...
If saltwater, or alot of any moisture isn't in your future I would lean towards 870P. That being said I purchased a discontinued 870 XCS Marine Magnum for Southeast Florida's marine environment and salt ladened humidity from Gander for $200 less than original MSRP of $848. Plastic (corrosion...
Plan to leave aboard boat up to a week at a time during trips to Florida Keys and Bahamas. Likely to see direct/indirect saltwater contact since carrying case would be too obtrusive on flats boat or open fisherman and full breakdown, cleaning, and lubrication very unlikely until back home.

Gander Mountain offered to buy original shotgun back upon arrival of replacement they ordered from another location. Curious if Remington had a bad batch and this new in box model will have same defect? If it does I may just keep original model registered to me and hound Remington for...
Remington called me Wednesday and said they finally got the barrell in and shipped it overnight so I got it this morning. Surprisingly eight weeks later the replacement Remington 870 XCS Marine Magnum barrell's bead sight base was on relatively straight which will allow Trak Lock II Ghost Ring...
After much research for a salt water tolerant 12 ga. pump I went with a Remington 870 XCS Marine Magnum. They made this model for a short window of time supposedly due to added cost/lack of sales from their patented black matte TriNyte finish atop of electroless nickel. One of the main reasons...
The wear marks are in distinct locations so I believe statement about pads. Underneath the black anti-corrosive finish is supposedly the electroless nickel. Went with Remi over Mossy due to fact that the 870 MM has coatings throughout receiver and action in addition to barrel, magazine tube...
I purchased a Remington 870 XCS Marine Magnum with the matte black TriNyte coating less than a month ago and am worried about the action of the stock forend will mar or possibly wear through anti-corrosive coating. I put 70-80 rounds through it the other day and noticed long scratches matching...
