Detailed Features 

 
The 3.5" chamber accepts heavy waterfowl and turkey loads in addition to standard 2.75" and 3" shells, making this version more versatile than the standard 3" chambered Fieldmaster. The 28" vent rib barrel provides a long sighting plane and smooth swing-through on birds. The walnut stock has laser-cut checkering for grip in wet conditions. Three RemChoke chokes (Full, Modified, IC) cover hunting and clay shooting without additional purchase.

The Remington 870 Fieldmaster in 12 GA with 28" barrel and walnut stock gets broadly positive reviews, with the classic aesthetics and 870 reliability at the core of most discussions.

The walnut and matte blued combination is the most admired feature. Owners consistently describe the gun as looking and feeling like a traditional hunting shotgun. The 870 action's reliability reputation carries through to this model. The 28" barrel draws praise for its accuracy on moving targets and smooth swing in open field conditions.

Weight at 7.50 lbs is the most common criticism; over a long hunt in hilly terrain it adds up. Some reviewers prefer the more modern features found in newer platforms, though the 870's established track record is typically cited as the reason to choose it. Overall sentiment is positive, particularly among hunters who value proven durability and traditional aesthetics.
