This example, chambered in 16 gauge with a 2¾-inch chamber, features a 26-inch barrel fitted with a fixed improved cylinder choke and a simple silver bead front sight, reflecting its role as a versatile field gun. The smooth walnut buttstock and ribbed fore-end provide both comfort and secure handling, while the pump-action mechanism delivers consistent performance shot after shot. The balance of durable steel construction and classic sporting configuration gives the Wingmaster an enduring appeal, not only as a practical hunting shotgun but also as a collectible representation of Remington’s craftsmanship. Decades after its debut, the 870 Wingmaster remains synonymous with longevity, smooth operation, and traditional sporting excellence.
