And the sleek receiver design, awesome balance and natural pointing characteristics spell trouble for any bird within reach of its 12-gauge 3 1/2" Super Magnum capability. Twin steel action bars ensure smooth, positive chambering and ejection for the long haul. Our ArmorLokt process packages it all under a weather-impermeable outer shell. Similar to the Model 870, its receiver is manufactured from solid steel, and the barrel is hammer-forged. That means enhanced confidence on the first shot and smoother, faster follow-ups.īecause the Model 887 Nitro Mag’s design is inspired by the strength and dependability of our Model 870, you can count on it to cycle flawlessly and stand up to abuse like no other. This is our softest-shooting pump gun ever. And when it’s time for action, our revolutionary new SuperCell™ recoil pad so effectively reduces rearward force that it makes a 3" mag 12 gauge feel like a light field load. Its overmolded surface is built to withstand abrasion in the trenches, whether that’s barbed wire, gnarly thorns or the bottom of a Jon boat. Our exclusive ArmorLokt™ construction process seals the receiver and barrel in a vault of weather-impervious synthetic armor, so you can wipe it down with your wet dog or a decoy bag at the end of the day. The most durable and reliable shotgun ever built, it has no external surfaces to rust.
