The Remington Spartan shotguns have a very attractive appearance with chrome-lined hammer forged barrels, titanium coated triggers, remarkable deep blued finish, and flawless walnut stocks. The action of these firearms was as smooth as silk, offering reliable shooting and a clean sight system. After a good amount of research and handling various shotguns, the Remington Spartan seemed to be the perfect match of form and function.

After much comparison, the Remington Spartan was clearly the best buy, with a price tag well under the four digit price of the more popular competitors’ firearms. I felt confident that the Spartan was the service shotgun for me. The competition offers a wide range of high priced alternatives, but I work for a living and I see no point in spending money for a name, rather than a reliable shotgun.

The Spartan shotguns offer a wide range of configurations and styles, which vary from repeating action shotguns, over & under shotguns, side by side shotguns, and rifle shotgun combos. For such a relative newcomer, the Remington Spartan has something for every type of shooter, from hunting to skeet to plinking; there is a Spartan ready to help you hit your mark.

I decided to move toward the Spartan SPR220 series, which offers a double barrel shotgun (ideal for hunting) with the option to have bird shot and a slug at the ready when working my way through the fields. Unlike most double barrel shotguns, the Remington Spartan offers an auto-tang safety system and chamber indicator. This was a major selling point since I take safety very seriously, especially when hiking for hours on end.

After a very fruitful hunting season I was sure to make the Spartan a must-have at my skeet club, and decided to move toward the Spartan SPR453, which allows for ease of recoil with an auto-loading shotgun. The Remington Spartan SPR 453 also takes standard Trulock choke tube threading, which was something I certainly didn’t expect, but lead to a wide range of affordable chokes that helped me blow away my competition.

There are hundreds of great shotguns on the market which have their purpose. Without spending an arm and a leg, the Remington Spartan offers the best of all the competition, with a great deal of key selling points. You won’t find a better shotgun for the money, no matter what type of game you are going after. I would highly recommend any of the Remington Spartan shotguns to a friend, customer, or anybody looking into a high quality shotgun but is on a budget.
