Remington Sportsman 58 Field Grade 12 Gauge Semi-Automatic Shotgun, 26" Barrel, Gas-Operated, Poly-Choke
The Sportsman 58 was Remington’s first gas-operated shotgun, and this late-production Field Grade example showcases that pioneering design. Chambered in 12 gauge and factory-limited to a three-shot capacity, it features the model’s adjustable gas plug and a roll-engraved hunting scene on the polished blue receiver. An aftermarket Poly-Choke and Pachmayr White Line Deluxe recoil pad add versatility and comfort, making this full-size shotgun a practical field piece with classic 1950s-1960s styling.

This Sportsman 58 retains the model’s steel receiver with factory roll engraving that depicts dogs flushing upland birds, bordered by scrollwork—a hallmark of the Field Grade.
The 26-inch plain barrel wears a Poly-Choke, giving the shooter on-the-fly choke adjustment while preserving the original fixed FULL choke markings. The single front bead provides a clear sight picture.
Remington’s gas-operated action and adjustable gas plug were forward-thinking in the 1950s, softening recoil and reliably cycling 2 ¾-inch shells. The Sportsman variant’s three-shot capacity meets migratory bird regulations without magazine plugs.
Walnut furniture features factory diamond-pattern cut checkering for a secure grip. The added Pachmayr White Line Deluxe pad shortens length of pull to 13.25 inches and further tames felt recoil.
