Remington 870 Fieldmaster 20ga Pump Action Shotgun with 20" Barrel - Black

The Remington 870 Fieldmaster 20-gauge pump action shotgun is a compact, no-frills workhorse built on the platform that's been the standard for slide-action shotguns for over 60 years. This 20" barrel model in black brings the proven reliability of the 870 family to hunters and shooters who want dependable performance without paying for features they don't need. The solid steel receiver, dual action bars, and tight tolerances you get in a $5,000 Wingmaster are here—just dressed down for the field instead of the display case.

The 20-gauge chambering and compact dimensions make this shotgun an excellent choice for younger hunters, smaller-framed shooters, and anyone who values faster handling in tight brush or from a blind. It cycles both 2¾" and 3" shells, so you're not locked into one load type. The matte black finish and laminate furniture are designed to be seen in the truck bed, not hung on a wall—practical gear that won't distract game or wear your patience if it gets dinged during a hunt.

You get three flush-fit Rem Choke tubes (Improved Cylinder, Modified, Full) right out of the box, plus a choke tube wrench, magazine plug, and cable lock. The receiver is drilled and tapped for scope mounting if you want to add glass for rifled slugs. For the compact 20-gauge models, Remington includes a length-of-pull kit so you can dial in the fit—a thoughtful detail for kids or petite hunters where stock length matters.

This is a shotgun that will pattern consistently, cycle smoothly, and still be running strong long after you've moved on to something fancier. The Fieldmaster philosophy is straightforward: do the job, do it right, don't charge luxury pricing for it.
