Not a big fan of the nickel plated shotguns but they are My first shotgun was a Mossberg 500 12 guage (bought it when I was in the service) was an incredible gun and I thought TOP of the line till I tried a Remington 870 when I worked in the prison.I love the action of the Remington, the round bolt, the looks / lines. Both are great guns. The Mossberg is a little more user friendly on the wallet the Remington is a little more user friendly. ONE of my fantasy shotguns is a: http://www.remington.com/products/firearms/shotguns/model-870/model-870-express-synthetic-18inch.aspxBut my ultimate fantasy is this:http://www.benelliusa.com/shotguns/benelli_vinci.php
It is Canada. We aren't allowed home defense.
Between the two I prefer the Remington but really have no good reason why I do. I just like the way it feels a bit better but if I found a good deal I certainly wouldn't be too bummed out with the Mossberg. Both are absolutely rock solid designs that have been battle tested and proven. Whichever one you get, if you like your shoulder you might want to consider a Knoxx Stock for it. http://www.blackhawk.com/catalog/Shotgun-Stocks,165.htm
I probably will. As I said, I am really looking for something to tinker with, and different stocks are a good way to do that.I would like to replace the pump handle with a pistol grip Tazer unit I saw at SHOT a couple of years ago, but that's a little too illegal for me to consider!Def
