How We Calculate Remington 870 Values
Remington 870 price is affected by condition, variant, finish, and customization or upgrades. Overall, however, the most important factors for pricing are condition and variant.
Determining the exact condition of a Remington can be subjective. To see how we professionally evaluate your firearm (for free) and turn that condition into a payout, view our 3-step selling process for a guaranteed FFL offer.
Condition and Value
Condition always affects a gun’s value. Obviously, buyers will pay most for the best-condition guns. The worse the gun’s condition, the lower the value.
New or Mint Condition
Remington 870s in this category are factory-fresh even if preowned. They should have zero wear, scratches or signs of use. In fact, they should never have been fired.
These generally stay close to the retail price. For example, a mint 870 Fieldmaster is often sold for $450 vs. the retail price of $500. Compare that to worn Fieldmaster price tags, which are usually around $200.
Excellent Condition
Excellent-condition guns are ones that have been maintained to the point of showing barely any indication of use. Wear should be so light as to be negligible and never hinder aesthetics.
870s in this condition can lose around 20% of the retail price.
Very Good Condition
A Remington 870 in very good condition shows only subtle signs of usage. Most of these should be confined to areas like the stock or the barrel.
870s in this condition can lose around 30% of the retail price.
Good Condition
An 870 in this category will have visible signs of wear or use, like minor scratches or handling marks. Despite that, it shouldn’t have functional issues at all.
Good-condition 870s can lose around 40% of the retail price.
Fair Condition
Fair-condition 870s will have even more noticeable signs of wear than good-condition ones. In addition, they may have minor functional issues.
Fair-condition 870s can lose around 50% of the retail price.
Poor Condition
Extreme wear, significant functional issues, clear dings or scratches – need we say more? Poor-condition 870s naturally fetch the least, as most people don’t want to buy them.
These 870s can lose more than 60% of the retail price.

How Much Is a Remington 870 Express Worth?
The average Remington 870 Express is worth around $150 to $300 used.
The 870 Express is now discontinued and has been replaced by the Fieldmaster, but it's still popular. This was the shotgun that reached over 11 million sales, often listed as the top-selling shotgun of all time. Before it was discontinued, it cost around $400 in retail.
You can get a serviceable but scuffed one for $150 if you don’t mind a shorter barrel (e.g. 18.5”). Longer-barrelled options in very good condition go for more.
How Much Is a Remington 870 Fieldmaster Worth?
The average Remington 870 Fieldmaster is worth $180 to $450 used.
Most sales of the base version in very good condition hover around the $350 mark. This gun is essentially an upgraded version of the Express. Many describe it as having a better-looking finish than the Express.
There’s no end of variations. The base version has an MSRP of about $500, however, and has a satin black carbon steel receiver. This may be paired with an American walnut stock or a synthetic stock. All Fieldmasters are also fully rifled.
How Much Is a Remington 870 Wingmaster Worth?
The average Remington 870 Wingmaster is worth $200 used, but older ones are often priced $450 and up. Rare or limited editions like the Ohio National Guard Wingmaster can reach $1,000.
The glamor gun of the 870 set, the Wingmaster is high-gloss where the Fieldmaster is matte. The receiver and barrel are blued and polished, with the stock boasting American walnut woodwork.
All versions of this gun come with twin bead sights. Brand-new from a store, these often go for $800. New or used, longer barrels cost more.
