The 870 is a very nice shotgun, you wouldn't have been disappointed with it either. As for it being drilled and tapped they are not, the mounting holes for the scope mount are the holes that fit the pins on the sides for the trigger unit.

I agree that the 870 Wingmaster is a fine firearm. And prior Express were as well.

The recent shipments of 870 Express' leave a lot to be desired, from what I've read. Lots of feed and extraction issues, wobble-cut choke bores, plastic trigger group, etc... and the reciever was rougher than the Parnder, on the one I inspected at least. It was also a lot more money.

The Express was a pound lighter though. It also 'looked' like a Remington which I find apealling.
But the NFE got the nod. Time will tell.

YMMV.

The reason they don’t drill them is because they use a cantilever scope mount barrel!!!

I WASN.... (deep breath)

I wasn't. I was comparing two, out of the box shotguns....my holo-sight will go right on mine if need be w/o anything...I'd rather hunt turkey with a bow than a SG anyways.
