*SOLD* 1995 Remington 870 12ga *MAGNUM SPECIAL PURPOSE TURKEY* Mossy Oak Greenleaf

Bryant Ridge's Analysis:

The Remington 870 Magnum Special Purpose Turkey (SPS-T) is a purpose-built variant of the legendary 870 platform, designed specifically with the needs of turkey hunters in mind. Featuring the robust, time-tested design of the 870 action—a twin-action bar, steel receiver pump shotgun known for its reliability and simplicity—the SPS-T delivers dependability in the field under even the harshest conditions. Chambered to accept 3-inch 12-gauge magnum shells, this shotgun provides the power necessary for delivering dense, effective shot patterns at longer ranges, crucial for taking down wary gobblers. The shotgun often comes equipped with a specialized extended choke, typically a turkey-specific extra-full choke, designed to concentrate shot patterns tightly for maximum effect on the target. The 21-inch barrel strikes a balance between maneuverability in dense woods and the ballistic needs of turkey loads, while the drilled and tapped receiver accommodates optics, allowing for red dot or scope mounting to enhance precision.
 
Ergonomically, the SPS-T is engineered for field use and concealment. It typically features a synthetic stock with a non-reflective, camouflage finish such as Mossy Oak or Realtree, helping hunters blend seamlessly into woodland environments. The stock often includes a SuperCell recoil pad, which is designed to tame the recoil from heavy turkey loads, aiding shooter comfort and follow-up control. Sling swivel studs are standard, allowing easy carry through rugged terrain. The overall build of the SPS-T reflects Remington’s focus on rugged utility, with corrosion-resistant finishes on key components to ensure long-term durability. For the dedicated turkey hunter, the 870 SPS-T is more than just a shotgun—it’s a refined and focused tool, optimized for success in one of North America’s most demanding hunting disciplines.
