Choosing to make a shotgun your primary survival rifle is
not a bad call by any means, and there is no shotgun
better suited to the task than the reliable Remington 870
XCS pump. The 870 has been around for 50 years,
and has pulled duty with every branch of the armed
services, and law enforcement agencies
worldwide. The 870 Marine Magnum pictured below
is finished in Remingtons latest TriNyte(tm) finish,
which is supposed to be the most durable, weatherproof finish
they have ever put on a shotgun. All internal
parts are Nickel coated, including the trigger
group. The wide variety
of ammunition available for shotguns also makes them a
good survival rifle candidate. Shotgun ammo is
fairly bulky though, so dont go overboard, just pack what
you need. The stock will hold 4 shells in reserve, along
with 6 in the magazine.

Disassembly
and cleaning just dont get any
easier than with the 870, unscrew the magazine cap, pull
the barrel, and slide out the 2 piece bolt assembly. Give it a
good once over and a light coat of oil, and spend about
30 seconds putting it back together, and
you're done. Its a classic case of
less being more, the Remington 870 XCS does what it was designed to do
very well, every time, and nothing more. There is also a staggering amount
of aftermarket gear available for the 870... from folding stocks
and forends, to lights, heatshields, sights, etc.. There are as many customizable options for the
Remington 870 as there are for the Ruger 10/22.
