Rem 870 is a great time tested gun. The older ones are better, then the newer guns.

Although I like my older 870 Wingmaster, my boys have 870 Express models that don't have the bluing finish of the Wingmaster, they are pretty much the same inside. The 870 models are great shot guns for the price. Some would say better than many more expensive shotties. If you want a semi-auto, then the 1100 would be fine choice.

Can't knock a Mossburg 500 either. Great value for the price.

yup, I got a rem 870 super mag last year and havent had a problem with it...i wouldnt say that the older ones are better than the newer ones, just have a lil more experience...

870 express.  Reliable, parts available everywhere, and you can get one for about $300 that shoots 2 3/4" and 3".  That's plenty good enough for most everything.

Well I know I don't have to say it but I will.........870

[Ellensburg]

I would buy an older 870 or wingmaster... I think they are built too cheap now days (just my opinion)

[addicted]

870's are good.

nova's kick ass too.

I have to agree with this. I have an older one that is a great gun. I bought both of my nephews new ones and I was a little disappointed. Didn't seem to be the same gun they use to be. They still work fine

Me three, the older ones are much better than the express. And you cant go wrong with a Nova or Mossberg.

 :)The express is not the shotgun the Wingmaster is, a good gun but not a wingmaster.
