Remington 870 Fieldmaster 12ga Pump Action Shotgun 20" Barrel Black

The Remington 870 Fieldmaster 12ga pump action shotgun with 20" barrel is one of the most reliable workhorse scatterguns ever built. This 12-gauge classic delivers the dependable cycling and quick follow-up shots that make pump guns the go-to choice for hunting, sport shooting, and home defense. With its 20-inch fully rifled barrel and rifle sights, this configuration leans toward versatility—you get a compact platform that handles easily in brush and tight spaces while maintaining the accuracy you need across varied hunting scenarios.

The Fieldmaster ships with a 4-round magazine capacity and tips the scales at approximately 6 pounds, making it light enough for a full day in the field without fatigue. Its satin black carbon steel receiver and standard grade American walnut furniture strike the classic Remington aesthetic—solid, no-nonsense, built to be used and passed down. The 14-inch length of pull and moderate drop measurements suit most shooters out of the box, though the gun's design accommodates aftermarket stocks if you need customization down the line.

The 870 platform's legendary strength comes from its proven design: each pump cycles smoothly, shells eject reliably, and the action locks up tight every time. Whether you're hunting waterfowl in tight marshes, chasing upland birds through dense cover, or running clay courses, the 870 Fieldmaster delivers the performance hunters and shooters have trusted for decades. This isn't a gun that needs a sales pitch—it's the standard against which pump shotguns are measured.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use this rifle-sighted 870 for turkey hunting or general bird hunting?

The 20-inch fully rifled barrel with rifle sights is optimized for slug accuracy and close-quarters work. For turkey or bird hunting requiring shot patterns, you'd typically prefer a smoother barrel with a tighter choke; this Fieldmaster configuration is better suited to hunting scenarios where precision matters—like hunting in brush or using slugs—rather than pattern-dependent wing shooting.

Is this 870 good for home defense?

The Remington 870 platform is widely used for defensive purposes, and the 20-inch barrel keeps the gun compact and maneuverable indoors. The rifle sights provide quick target reference. Magazine capacity is 4 rounds. Always ensure you understand all applicable local laws regarding shotgun use and home defense.

Will aftermarket chokes and accessories fit this gun?

The 870 Fieldmaster uses a fully rifled barrel designed for slugs, so traditional removable choke tubes won't apply. The pump action and receiver follow standard 870 design, so many ergonomic upgrades and aftermarket stocks are compatible—check individual product specs for confirmation.

What does the 14-inch length of pull mean for me?

Length of pull (LOP) is the distance from the trigger to the center of the recoil pad. A 14-inch LOP suits most average-to-larger-framed adult shooters. If you're unusually tall, short, or shooting in heavy clothing, you may want to evaluate fit before purchasing, or consider an aftermarket stock.
