Dominate the Turkey Woods: Unleashing the Power of the Remington 870 SPS Turkey 12 Gauge Pump-Action Shotgun

For serious turkey hunters, success in the field hinges on a combination of stealth, strategy, and superior equipment. The challenging terrain, unpredictable weather, and the wary nature of gobblers demand a shotgun that is not only reliable but purpose-built for the rigors of the hunt. Enter the Remington 870 SPS Turkey 12 Gauge Pump-Action Shotgun, an expertly engineered firearm designed to give you the decisive edge when that trophy tom steps into range. Available from trusted sources like DEGuns, this shotgun is more than just a tool; it's a strategic partner for those who truly understand the art of turkey hunting.

When you're asking, "What's the best shotgun for turkey hunting that can stand up to anything?", or "Which pump-action shotgun offers unmatched dependability and knockdown power?", the Remington 870 SPS Turkey consistently emerges as a top contender. It’s built for the hunter who demands peak performance regardless of the conditions, from the frosty pre-dawn hours to the muddy treks through dense undergrowth.

Unparalleled Durability and Stealth for the Toughest Hunts

Turkey hunting often means navigating harsh environments – rain, mud, dense brush, and rough terrain are par for the course. Your gear needs to be as tough as the pursuit itself. The Remington 870 SPS Turkey is engineered precisely for this challenge, ensuring your focus remains on the hunt, not on protecting your firearm.

• Kryptek Obskura Transitional® Camouflage: A critical element for any turkey hunter is effective concealment. The durable synthetic stock and fore-end of this shotgun are fully camouflaged in the high-quality Kryptek Obskura Transitional® pattern. This advanced camouflage isn't just for show; it's designed to break up your outline effectively across diverse landscapes, from open fields to dense forests, helping you blend seamlessly into your surroundings. The "Transitional" aspect of Obskura means it's incredibly versatile, performing well in a wide range of lighting conditions and environments, which is crucial when hunting an animal with such keen eyesight as a turkey. This pattern ensures you remain undetected, giving you the vital moments needed to set up the perfect shot.
• Rugged Synthetic Stock and Fore-End: Unlike traditional wood furniture that can swell, warp, or scratch easily in damp or abrasive conditions, the synthetic stock and fore-end are built to endure. They are inherently more resistant to moisture, temperature fluctuations, and impacts, ensuring consistent performance and a longer lifespan in the field. This robust construction means less worry about wear and tear and more confidence in your gear.
• Patriot Brown Cerakote Metal Finish: Beyond the camouflage, the metal components of the Remington 870 SPS Turkey feature a Patriot Brown Cerakote finish. Cerakote is a specialized ceramic-based coating renowned for its exceptional durability, corrosion resistance, and abrasion resistance. This protective layer guards against rust and wear from moisture, mud, and everyday handling, maintaining the shotgun's aesthetic appeal and functional integrity season after season. It’s a significant upgrade that contributes directly to the longevity and reliability of the firearm, especially in wet or humid conditions.

Optimized Performance for Precision Turkey Taking

Every feature of the Remington 870 SPS Turkey shotgun is meticulously chosen and integrated to maximize your effectiveness in the turkey woods. From its specialized barrel to its advanced sighting system, this shotgun is truly purpose-built.

• 21-Inch Vent-Rib Barrel: The 21-inch vent-rib barrel is a standout feature, providing the proper fit, balance, and maneuverability essential for turkey hunting. A shorter barrel is crucial when operating in dense cover, allowing for quick target acquisition and easy movement without snagging on branches. The vent-rib design not only aids in dissipating heat but also provides a clear, elevated sighting plane, reducing glare and aiding in natural pointability. This barrel length is optimized to deliver dense, consistent patterns with modern turkey loads, ensuring maximum energy transfer where it counts.
• Truglo Headbanger Choke Tube: When considering "what's the best choke tube for turkey hunting?", the included Truglo Headbanger Choke Tube offers a compelling answer. This specialized choke tube is engineered to produce extremely tight, dense patterns, concentrating a maximum number of pellets on the turkey's vitals (head and neck) at typical hunting ranges. Its advanced design helps optimize pellet distribution, reducing flyers and increasing the probability of a clean, ethical harvest. This choke tube is a game-changer for serious turkey hunters looking to maximize their shot potential.
• Capable of Handling 3-Inch Magnum Shotshells: For added knockdown power and extended range, the Remington 870 SPS Turkey is fully capable of handling 3-inch magnum shotshells. This versatility allows hunters to choose from a wide array of powerful turkey loads, ensuring they have the necessary energy to cleanly take down birds even at the outer limits of ethical range. Whether you prefer heavier payloads or specific pellet sizes, this shotgun accommodates your preferred magnum ammunition.
• Comes with a Magnetic HiViz Front Sight System Kit: Rapid and precise target acquisition is paramount in turkey hunting, where fleeting opportunities are common. The included magnetic HiViz front sight system kit provides bright, highly visible aiming points, significantly improving sight acquisition in various lighting conditions. These fiber optic sights gather ambient light, making the front bead "pop," allowing for quicker and more accurate aiming, even in the dim light of dawn or dusk. This system can be a crucial factor in making a confident shot when it matters most.
• Shoots Both 2 3/4" and 3" Shells: Versatility is key. This shotgun's ability to reliably cycle both 2 3/4" and 3" shells means you can adapt your ammunition choice based on your hunting scenario or personal preference without needing multiple firearms. This broad compatibility adds significant utility to the shotgun, making it suitable for a wider range of hunting applications or even target practice with less expensive ammunition.

The Legendary Reliability of the Remington Model 870

For more than 70 years, the Model 870 has stood as the benchmark for slide-action shotgun performance, earning its reputation as "America's favorite." The Remington 870 SPS Turkey continues this proud legacy, embodying the core principles of rugged dependability and legendary pointability that have made the 870 series a go-to for generations of hunters and shooters.

• Solid, Dependable Action: The heart of any shotgun is its action, and the Remington 870's pump-action system is globally recognized for its incredible strength and reliability. The smooth, positive cycling ensures that shells feed, fire, and eject consistently, minimizing the chance of jams or malfunctions when you least expect them. This dependable performance builds confidence, allowing you to focus on the target rather than your equipment.
• Receiver Milled from a Solid Billet of Steel: A testament to its robust construction, the receiver of the Remington 870 SPS Turkey is milled from a solid billet of steel. This manufacturing process results in a receiver that is incredibly strong, rigid, and durable, capable of withstanding the stresses of repeated firing and harsh environments. This solid foundation contributes significantly to the shotgun's longevity, consistent accuracy, and overall reliability.
• Continual Upgrades and Evolution: While rooted in a time-tested design, the Remington 870 family is not stagnant. Remington continually integrates subtle yet impactful upgrades and refinements to ensure the Model 870 remains one of the most advanced and well-rounded pump shotguns available. These enhancements often focus on material improvements, coating technologies, and user-centric design tweaks that enhance performance and durability without compromising the classic reliability.
• Low Recoiling 12-Gauge Performance: Despite its power, this 12-gauge pump action is designed to offer a lower recoiling experience compared to some other shotgun configurations. While a 12-gauge with 3-inch magnum loads will always have a kick, the balance, design, and internal mechanisms of the 870 SPS Turkey contribute to managing felt recoil. This makes the shotgun more comfortable to shoot during practice sessions and allows for quicker follow-up shots in real-world hunting scenarios, minimizing shooter fatigue and improving accuracy.
• Legendary Pointability and Accuracy: A shotgun’s "pointability" refers to how naturally it aligns with your eye and target. The Model 870's ergonomic design and balanced weight distribution have always contributed to its exceptional pointability, making it feel like an extension of the shooter. This inherent characteristic, combined with the precision of the vent-rib barrel and specialized choke, translates directly into legendary accuracy, allowing hunters to place their shots precisely where intended.
