Remington Model 870 Wingmaster Deer Gun 12 Gauge Pump-Action Shotgun, 20" Barrel, Early 1980s
This early-1980s Remington Model 870 Wingmaster Deer Gun pairs the smooth action of the 870 platform with factory rifle sights and a 20-inch barrel. Built before the RemChoke system, it features factory scope-mount holes on the receiver, deluxe high-gloss walnut furniture, and the polished blued finish that defines Wingmaster trim.

What’s Included
- Remington Model 870 Wingmaster Deer Gun 12 Gauge pump-action shotgun
Remington introduced the Deer Gun variant to give shotgun hunters a compact, rifle-sighted option ideal for slug use in dense cover. This example retains its original 20-inch carbon-steel barrel with anti-glare serrations.
The polished blued receiver carries the “V” prefix and suffix that confirm a 12-gauge, 2 ¾-inch Wingmaster build. Four factory-tapped holes on the receiver top allow direct installation of a scope base without gunsmithing.
Wingmaster-grade walnut stocks feature fleur-de-lis press checkering, a medallion grip cap, and a ventilated recoil pad. The 14-inch length of pull and full-size dimensions provide a comfortable fit for most shooters.
Rifle sights consist of a ramped front blade and an adjustable rear sight mounted to the barrel, giving a clear sight picture for slugs or buckshot. The cross-bolt safety and single-stage trigger complete the familiar 870 control layout.
