    I have a few questions since im interested in buying one ...

    Do they ALL come with screw in chokes? I see on shoot.ie that is a modified "Remchoke". Is Remchoke screw in? Because i would like a full choke. :D And to be able to switch between chokes.

    Is it illegal to have capacity for more than 3 rounds? Or is it illegal to put in more than 3 rounds? Because i wont be having any of that.

    Is it any harder to licence?

    How ... HOW awesome is this gun???! Is it good value for €497? Any owners write me a short (or long) review?

    3 or modified to shoot 10 rounds,it is a fine gun .Proably THE pump action shotgun.Its not illegal ASFIK ...Yet to have over three shot,it just becomes a question of wether it is restricted or unrestricted to liscense.
    As for the barrels,well there is a huge selection of various types,so you can pick and choose what you want.;)

    Yep, the RemChoke system is interchangeable, afaik hey come with one Imp. Mod. choke as standard. I bought a super full turkey-choke for mine tho :)

    Indestructible machine. Literally. Feeds EVERYTHING you throw into it; never, EVER jams or misfeeds (in my experience anyway).

    Buy it - you shall not be disappointed!

    The one thing I've noticed about the 870 is that you need longish arms to operate it properly, in order to get a good grip on the rack
