I customized the one I use for turkeys with a Monte Carlo stock for scope use and a Timney Trigger Fix kit to give it a rifle-like trigger pull. The other Super Magnum is a bad-weather waterfowl gun. It has an oversized safety, a metal magazine follower, a stainless magazine spring, a stronger police-model carrier spring, and a machined extractor. All those improvements, plus a Cerakote finish, make it even more durable and reliable than it already was, which, for an , is saying something.
Any time you make 11,, plus of anything, there are bound to be some hits and misses. The following is a highly subjective list of s to seek out and to avoid. I have owned more than a few, shot a bunch more, and have my opinions.
Early gauge s were made by putting 20 gauge barrels on gauge receivers. All gauge s are made on gauge frames. Granted, that frame was originally borrowed from the gauge , but still, all you get is a gun that weighs the same as a 12 but only shoots gauge shells. If you want a real, scaled-down gauge pump, find an Ithaca Sometime in the early 00s, Express quality control slipped. The most common problem you see in those guns is fired shells sticking in poorly finished chambers, most often with inexpensive target loads.
Replacing the metal injection molded MIM extractor can help, too. Remington has ramped up QC efforts in the past few years, and the new Expresses are much better than those of ten or so years ago. In the s Remington introduced a straight-gripped, inch some were inch barreled upland gun in 12 and 20 gauge called the Special Field.
It made a great carrying gun for bird hunters who put a lot of miles on their boots. One of the odder variants was a single shot trap gun that incorporated a gas system.
Gases bled from a port in the barrel pushed against a weight in the magazine tube, lengthening the recoil pulse and turning it from a sharp kick to a shove. Not this gun. It shot as softly as an Shoot trap with light target loads, and the recoil on the SXP is similar to a gas-operated shotgun. TriStar owner Gus Bader is a true gun guy.
And he cares about making quality shotguns at reasonable prices. He will often just grab a random gun off the production line and put it through the ringer to make sure it functions properly. And one thing I hear from TriStar owners all the time is the fit on these guns is incredible. Joe Genzel is the associate editor at Outdoor Life.

Very well said, thank you for highlighting my favorite shotgun. Yes the has infrequently been offered in a left hand version-infrequently but the safety is a crossbolt and therefore unwieldy to gloved hands.
Additionally when Remington offered a parkarized slug barrel version,the interior barrel dimensions were sloppy-one had to foul the barrel to get any degree of accuracy. One also has to peen or grind off the dimple in the magazine tube,in order to successfully use magazine extension. Been there on all of these issues. Time limit exceeded.

Young shooters are up and running only requiring a minimal amount of instruction, in some cases, with the pump-action Remington The modern features a bright-orange magazine follower. This is a visual indicator to ensure the magazine is empty. However, it does not mean the shotgun is unloaded! The Remington may be counted on for reliability and fast handling.
