Remington Sportsman 12 Pump 12 Gauge 28" Vent Rib | 2 3/4" & 3" Chamber, Fixed Modified Choke
Produced only from 1984 to 1987, the Sportsman 12 Pump is a budget-minded variant of the legendary Remington 870. It shares full parts interchangeability with all 12-gauge 870 models but was sold exclusively through big-box retailers and carries a distinctive W-prefix serial block, giving it niche appeal for collectors. This example offers a 28-inch vent-rib barrel with a fixed Modified choke and dual-length chambering, making it a practical field gun with added rarity value.
