What’s Included
- Remington Model 870 Wingmaster Rifle-Sight Deer Gun (firearm only)
Remington cataloged the Rifle-Sight Deer Gun as a purpose-built smoothbore for hunting in shotgun-only zones. Its 20" barrel carries rifle-style iron sights—a ramped silver-bead front and an adjustable step-ramp rear—providing a sight picture suited for slugs.
The fixed Cylinder choke and 2 3/4" chamber keep the gun true to its late-1970s factory specification. With no constriction, it delivers optimal slug performance while still accepting buckshot loads.
Wingmaster-grade walnut furniture, finished in a high-gloss lacquer with fleur-de-lis pressed checkering, pairs with Remington’s ventilated recoil pad to soften 12-gauge recoil and add period style. A sling swivel stud is factory-installed on the buttstock for field carry.
The V-prefix/V-suffix serial number places production between 1978 and 1983, an era noted for Remington’s deep, high-polish blueing. The steel receiver and barrel retain this finish, matching the gun’s walnut forend for a classic Remington look.
