What's the 870 Police? How is it different from a normal 870? Also, what's a 700PSS?
Thanks,

The Remington 700P is in essence a Varmint rifle they call a "Sniper" rifle, and request it's sales be limited to Law Enforcement.
It is a hollow marketing ploy. Cops like to think that the gear they have is "special", so they will be more inclined to buy a gun marked "Police".
To compount this mindset, Remington knows that thier dealers aren't limited by law regarding sales of these guns...So will sell well to Non-LEO's who get off on the fact it is marked "police".
Kinda like Winchesters +P+ ammo. Marked "Law Enforcement Only" but perfectly legal to own, although I personally was once detained for an hour for having a box on me during a traffic stop.
The 870P is simple a Remington 870 with a Polymer stock, Factory magazine extention, and metal trigger guard housing.
I got one.

outstanding guns. Can't break'em with a sledgehammer, and pattern very well. I added the scope mount so I could add a dot sight, and with said dot sight, I personally can mow down 8 poppers in 10 seconds.
