Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
If the Model 870 were introduced today, it would be hailed as a major advance in pump-action shotgun design - the ultimate in strength, durability, silky-smooth bind-free action, and sleek classical lines. Yet this remarkable shotgun has been around for more than half a century, and has become one of the best-selling shotgun of any type in history, with over 11 million made. As one of the most popular shotguns of all time, the Model 870 is offered in dozens of configurations to suite hundreds of applications.
At a 1973 Ducks Unlimited banquet a custom Remington 1100 shotgun was auctioned to raise money to help fund sustainable duck habitat for North American waterfowl. That first 1100 started one of the most successful philanthropic efforts in DU history—the “Shotgun of the Year,” a program that continues today. Each year a gun manufacturer is selected to build a special run of shotguns specifically made for the DU dinners that take place across the country. And some of those dinner guns have become highly coveted.
A total of 140,023 DU dinner guns have been sold, every penny made going to waterfowl and wetlands conservation. The only way to get a new model is to buy one at a DU event or online auction, though older version like these will crop up on the used market.
For auction today...we have the ever popular Remington 870 12 gauge magnum pump auction shotgun made in 1983. This was a limited run for Ducks Unlimited, with only 4000 made. It features a 32" vent ribbed barrel with full choke bore, Fleur De Lis Checkered Walnut furniture, and blue finish. The chance to buy one of these guns as, stated earlier, only comes around at a Ducks Unlimited dinner event or when they surface on the market like this one has!
