I love that gun and see what u guys mean when u say to go throw it up to ur shoulder as that gun throws up the best for me but it's getting too old and starting to have too many problems and it won't throw 3" shells without getting hung up so I'm stuck with 2 3/4. My dad has a Remington 870 and has had it since he was my age but its not my favorite. Thanks for all the suggestions. Maybe I should just go back to my 107$ New England single shot break action 20 ga. HahaIt's hard to beat a Rem 870. I'd say it's the best pump gun ever made. That being said, no gun is without it's problems after a lot of use. Money is what usually decides what we buy so start there. There's no rule that says you can't upgrade down the road when you find something else or can afford a different gun.Back when I was hunting with the my Mooseburg (as a friend called it) 500, the friend was shooting a Rem 870 Wingmaster. At least once a season, we would have to knock the pin out that held the trigger mechanism in place as an empty shell would stick while the magazine would release a new round below. We actually kept a 6 penny nail in the blind to knock the pin out so when it happened, it would be a quick fix. I think if a guy had the right screw driver, he could have pushed the shell back into the magazine and all would have been ok.In defense of Remington;The gun was rarely cleaned.I have never talked to anyone else who had a similar problem.We were shooting his reloads, (however, the Mooseburg cycled them just fine).year, mid 70's

vinci or any benelli cant go wrong
Go to a gun shop and pull up every shotgun there. Get the one that feels the best. Nearly every manufacturer makes a great semi auto. My buddy has had an aweful experience with his Remington Versa max however. I shoot a Beretta extrema2. I have approximately 7,000 rounds through it and the only problem I've ever had was this year when I broke the ejector retainer pin. It was a $4 fix and functions as new. Shoots the lightest loads along with the heavy 3 1/2" shells. I've also owned the Winchester SX3, and really liked it, just not as much as my Beretta so I traded it for a marsh rat. I was handling some guns the other day and the Browning A5 felt so good I almost walked out with a $1,600 backup gun. I shot a Benelli nova for years, great gun, the SBE2 feels big/heavy/bulky to me. You'll be happy with whatever feels comfortable to you.
