dom; I don't think anybody (even myself or MAX) would disagree with that course of action IF, and I mean IF such a deal can be found. Not saying that you didn't, but in my experience, used WM's in my neck o' the woods are going for MUCH more than that.

It's a good deal for those that are looking for a pump shotgun to pull double duty. I am not a hunter and very rarely shoot clay. When I do shoot clay I like a Semi Auto.
That's if you can find one for that price and in good shape.
I purchased a NEF H&R Protector and Hawk 982 to be designated tactical HD shotgun. I like them because they are very reliable, the way the mag tube is setup and they are overbuilt and can take beating. Being low cost and a no name shotgun, I don't give a second thought if one gets scratched. The way the mag tube is setup it makes it easy to attach a flashlight mount and gives 5+1 cap, 6+1 if you drill the dimples out.
If I wanted to own a Remington 870 tactical HD shotgun it would be the new 870 tactical Express model #81197. It's loaded with extras and the best deal Remington has ever offered on a Tactical HD shotgun. I would sell the ported breacher choke tube that comes with it and get some of my money back. I would probably sale the factory tube extension kit as well.
If you sold both the total cost for the shotgun would be about $325.
That's $325 for an 870 that's tapped for choke tubes, receiver drill & tapped, has a nice black oxide finish and a very good set of ghost ring sights & rail mount combo.

These used Wingmasters people are claiming to come across for cheap dont seem to be around here.
Another thing.
People also consistently claim an Express is only about 50.00 more than the PP. Around here its more like 150.00.
The NEF PP is a solid shotgun. Looks good even beside the Express.

^ Same here.
I bought a PP and Knoxx stock and I'm still about $40 under what I would have paid for a NIB Express in my area (SE Michigan).
Pretty easy decision for me.

Quality of the action?
How smooth is the pardner when pumping the action compared to the Remington 870? Anyone?? Does anyone own the 20 gauge? Thanks

It depends on the gun because some are smoother than others. That's the case with most new guns.
A new Pardner Pump, Hawk 982 & 870 will all need to be smooth out or broke in over time to have a silky smooth action. I choose to smooth mine out as soon as I get them. It's easy to do and then they only get better with use.

Thank you Max, for the reply
I am looking for a cheaper priced pump that is reliable to put in my enclosed barn and feed shed on my small farm for Varmints and other pests that are after my chickens, etc during the day. At night they are locked up. I want a 20 guage so my wife can use it as well. I know that the 20 ga. youth gun can be had at our local Walmart for $195.00. I do not want to put my nice old Winchester and Ithaca out there . I guess if the action is rough I can smoothen it out and then can use it too.
