New Manufacture Remington 870 Sportsman

[bigred0383]

Anybody seen these yet?

Walked into my local gunshop, and said to myself, why does that express have fleur-di-lis checkering on it?

Upon closer look it seems to be an 870 express with a little smoother matte finish, nicer hardwood stocks cut in a fluer-di-lis pattern, with a gold trigger and a dual bead set up. Strangely, it also had no "u" cut in the shell lifter.

I guess I shouldn't be suprised as they did this last year with the 11-87.

Here's a link for the non-believers:

My shop was selling them for 359 (expresses were 329 and wingmasters were 559). Seems the running price online is in the 370s.

My interest is piqued.

Anybody have one yet?

No kidding, a mahogany-plywood stock?

Upon further review, are these discontinued? They aren't on the Remington site that I can find.

Otoh, if you enter "Remington 82105" into google they are for sale everywhere, including Cheaper Than Dirt.

They come in a .410, too.
