The 870 Express is the value-tier production variant of the Remington 870 Wingmaster, introduced in 1987 to compete with lower-price-point pump guns. The 26-inch vent-rib barrel is the standard upland field configuration, suited to most game birds and general hunting use. Non-glare matte metal finish and hardwood stock distinguish it from the blued-and-walnut Wingmaster.
