Forgot to give you my thoughts.
It's been a while since I bought a shotgun. I was looking at something that could shoot 2 3/4 - 3 1/2, and was weather friendly. The coating all over the gun makes it a great waterfowl gun. No need to worry about chipping the coating on wood stocks and forearm. With the gun being so light I was worried about the kick it would have. I have no idea what Remington did but it doesn't kick no more than a gun with heavy wood stocks. It has a nice buttpad on it that helps cusion alot of the kick.
My brother saw it and shot it this weekend and really like how it shoots. He shoots a Mossberg Mavrick.
The pump action is very fluid and doesn't have a catch like some pumps have. Also disassembly is a breeze. 2 pins and the gun breaks down to 5 pieces and re-assembles just as fast.
I like it, but as I stated, I just got back into hunting so, this is actually coming from someone that has tested many other guns.
Here is a video I found that goes through the features of the 887.
