I've been eyeing up a Remington 870 express super mag. The price is right, it shoots 3 1/2" shells and it would be a good multi purpose gun (turkey, waterfowl, predators). Was wondering if anyone has any experience with this gun. Any opinions would be appreciated.

;) ;) ;) I have the 870 express with 3" and it is my fox gun now....I've shot ducks, geese, and a variety of critters with one and it is primo!! ;) ;) ;) ;) ;) If the price is right buy it or tell me where it is... :o :o :o :o :o

My favorite gun. SPS Super Mag Turkey-Predator model.
I have a pistol grip on my 870, with red dot scope, 0 power. 20" barrel is compact for working in woods & brush.
The pistol grip takes a bit of the kick out of a 3 1/2" mag.
Fox, Coyote & Spring Gobbler gun.
Work the action, click-click...the most recognized sound in America
foxhound, this is the gun I use...

I used a Mossberg 835 for years on Predators & Turkey.
Mossberg was heavy, longer barrel and noisy, just made noise if I would shake it or move it one way or another.
When Remington first came out with the SPS Super Mag Turkey-Predator model, I bought one to replace the 835. I never looked back or seconded guessed myself.
Really enjoy the performance, good fit, pistol grip and shorter barrel.

Hern, that sps super mag is a fine looking shotgun! I'll have to look around and see if anyone has one in stock so I can put my hands on one. If it feels as comfortable as it looks, that may be my new gun.

I have a Rem 887 nitro turkey and I like it...

foxhound, want to say up front, I never hunted waterfowl. Never. Not sure if 870 SPS Super Mag Turkey-Predator would fit your needs on Waterfowl. I don't know if waterfowl hunters use a red dot.
From my use and experiences with this gun, It's been a dependable gun & can reach out on a Turkey or Fox if need be.
When I first shouldered this gun in local gun shop, I had the feeling Remington designed this model for me...lol.

I bought the same 850 sps as Hern because of his comments. You can't go wrong with this gun.
