Gun Review Remington 8. The Truth About Guns. The Remington 8. 70 shotgun. If anyone can think of a more iconic scattergun let me know, because Im pretty sure this is the tops. Star of stage and screen and gracing the gun safe of just about every gun owner in the United States, its a familiar sight on the range and in the field. But somehow, we here at TTAG have never reviewed the gun before. So seeing the opportunity to fill a hole in our repertoire, as well as an opportunity to find out if Freedom Group had ruined yet another iconic American firearm, we bought one from an online retailer and tested it out. This model is the very cheapest version we could find, figuring that if there are any cracks starting to show in the old girl, theyd be most apparent in the lower end varieties. But for 3. 50, you still get some nice features. The latest incarnation of the 8. Remington 7. 00 rifles. Most of the stock is the standard slick black plastic, but there are some panels fitted into the gun around the grip area that are made of a squishy, grippy rubber material that give the shooter a much more secure hold on the gun. Also included is a rubber recoil absorbing butt pad, which is damn near required when shooting a shotgun this light the gun weighs only a hair over seven pounds. At the top of the stock Remington has crafted in a good sized comb that gives the shooter a solid cheek rest when aiming the gun, rounding out the fine design of the rear section of the firearm.

The forend of the scattergun is a minimalist design, using a rough textured plastic as the sole ingredient. It fits with the price tag and the overall style of the gun though, so Im not complaining. While the stock and forend might not seem to be of the highest quality, theres no doubt that the action itself is  up there with what weve been seeing for ages. The blued steel of the receiver and bolt both feel silky smooth, and I cant find any signs of errant tool marks or rough patches. Its the same Rem 8.

While the finish and design on the 8. I just dont like. Other things come down to personal preference, like my partiality for the Remingtons cross bar safety as opposed to the Mossberg tang mounted safety. But overall, the Remington is still a clear winner. The only thing I could find that wasnt up to spec was on the trigger guard of the Remington 8. It looks like the old metal trigger guard has been replaced with a new plastic version, and there was some leftover material behind the trigger that I could easily remove with a pocket knife and a few minutes of concentration. While it may not sound like much, its the only issue I found on the entire gun. Out on the range I put hundreds of rounds of birdshot, buckshot and slugs through the gun without a single problem and never lubed it once. I just assembled it straight out of the box and started stuffing shells up its pipe. The gun never malfunctioned, never hung up, and always ejected properly.
