Remington 887 nitro mag turkey choke2/14/2023 ![]() The Remington 887 is a 12 gauge pump action shotgun that chambers 2 ¾”, 3”, and 3 ½” shotgun shells. This time I fired the 3 ½” round through the barrel of a brand new Remington 887 NitroMag Tactical Shotgun. I had improved my shooting stance since my first shotgun experience so I didn’t end up on my back, although, I did stumble back a bit. ![]() ![]() It sent a jolt through my body like a shot of whisky on a chilly southern night. I was twenty eight years old the first time I fired a 3 ½” turkey load out of a shotgun and I will never forget that experience either. I don’t know what happened to that old shotgun, but I would like to think that it is still pumping out rounds of 00 Buck……tape, glue and all. I remember sitting up from my prone position after that first shot to see that every pellet had hit the target which seemed to be standing a million miles away. Regardless of the missing bead, that 870 was as accurate as a Swiss time piece. The bead on the end of the barrel had been knocked off many years prior and replaced with a small part of a nail that someone had soldered in its place. The shotgun in question was an old Remington 870 Pump Action that was held together by a little tape and glue along with a lot of TLC. The shock from the recoil sent me staggering back three or four feet before landing me flat on my back. I was eight years old the first time I fired a shotgun and it’s an experience that I’ll never forget. ![]()
