What's Included
- Remington Model 870 Express Magnum Youth 20 Gauge shotgun
- Installed removable Modified RemChoke tube
The Youth configuration centers on a 13-inch length of pull, reducing reach to the trigger and improving control for shooters with shorter arms without altering the proven 870 handling characteristics.
A 21-inch vent-rib barrel keeps the gun quick to mount while providing a clear sighting plane topped by a single brass bead. The barrel is threaded for standard RemChoke tubes, and a factory Modified choke is already installed.
Chambered for 2 3/4-inch and 3-inch shells, the Express Magnum system allows the shooter to move from light target loads to high-brass magnums without modification. The standard 4+1 (5-round total) tube magazine offers dependable capacity for hunting or practice.
The matte-blued carbon-steel receiver and barrel pair with a satin-finished hardwood stock and fore-end featuring pressed checkering for a secure grip. A rubber recoil pad helps manage muzzle rise and adds comfort during extended shooting sessions.
Weighing roughly 6 pounds, this compact 870 remains easy to carry all day yet retains the rugged reliability that has made the 870 line a benchmark in pump-action shotguns.
