The Express Tactical configuration identifies this shotgun at a glance: the receiver is rollmarked "Remington 870 TACTICAL," and the factory XS Ghost Ring Sights package pairs an adjustable rear aperture mounted on a receiver-top Picatinny rail with a ramped, wing-protected front sight. The setup is robust and purpose-built for precise alignment.
The 18.5 in barrel is threaded for the interchangeable Rem-Choke system and comes fitted with an extended, ported breacher-style choke featuring a jagged standoff. This unit is a cylinder constriction and is noted as a Cyl Choke/Flashider. The barrel is marked for 12 gauge and supports both 2 3/4 in and 3 in shells.
Feeding is via an extended magazine tube with a barrel/mag clamp and a sling swivel stud. The stated capacity is 5+1. The pump action is complemented by a ribbed synthetic forend for a secure grasp, and the cross-bolt safety provides straightforward operation.
The stock is black synthetic with a rubber recoil pad and a 13.5 in length of pull. The steel receiver and overall matte dark gray/black finish provide a non-reflective profile. Origin is the United States, with barrel markings referencing Remington Arms Company in Ilion, NY.
