Wow...I heard nothing but bad reviews about these guns.

Another recall from Remington?  Wow.  I think the 887 is a great looking shotgun, but from what I've heard the appearance may be its best quality.

It used a steel lined polymer receiver, I'll stick to my 870 or cheaper than the 887, an H&R Pardner. I don't think badly of Remington though for all the recalls. I work for Toyota and know how overwhelming they can be. It's not a QC issue so much as a poor design or engineering flaw. Recall's happen all the time, I'm more willing to do business with a company though that is willing to own to it than one that is willing to hide it or play nilly-willy to avoid the cost increase.
