The story of Remington is the story of American industry. Eliphalet Remington believed he could build a gun better than any he could buy. That’s precisely what he did, and at 23, he placed second in a shooting match and received enough orders to justify starting a company.
While Remington has been operating since 1816, the Remington 870 shotgun is the weapon they are likely most known for, so we put a classic 870 to the test to see if it’s still top of the pops.
