Mossberg 500 or Remington 870?

[theweakerbrother]

I like your style, dude.

I also have both. I agree the 870 feels more like a shotgun though. The 500 does rattle a little to much. But they both are great guns. I have never had a problem with either of them. I also agree the safety on the 500 makes more since where it is located instead of where the 870 is, but if your used to your guns its not a problem.

I prefer the 870 of the choices given.
The 500 is a decent gun the 590 is a very good gun the 870 is still the standard.
The Benneli M4 is arguably the best fighting shotgun manufactured to date.

There are other good choices but most aren't supported well by their manufacturers or the after market.

The appearance of the shotgun does not effect its lethality in any way,

Im am still going to hold Judgment on the 887 anything over 3" chamber makes no sense to me in an HD or fighting gun so I'm still struggling with the why of it.

What he said, but I think the Saiga is catching up to the M4. Out of the box though the M4 is still the master.

Are we going to see TSG represent at the speed shotgun match next month at ACC?

the benneli M4 is PIMP, but ill buy enough 870's to gear up 2 familys for the price of one M4

Or you could buy a Serbu for a 1K, that's a grand for a 10" 870

agh I need to get up for that, I'm ADHD if I don't have someone reminding me every day or two I lose track of half what I am doing.
I will have to look up the thread and mark it down this time. Last go round we had a show that weekend that interfered hopefully not the case this time.

Depends on the Family. Are we talking the Jones or the Vasquez's?

Single family dwelling on the southeast side or west? extended or Immediate?

I trust my 500 100% that's all that matters. Factory replacement barrel for $79.99. One barrel for clays, pumkin busting etc. Then my HD barrel.

 

[jonny4523]

I'm all 870

 

[mjones]

870. For the win

 

[Neo46121]

870 for deer hunting and a 500 or 590 for HD. Every tool has it's use

 

[WormDirt]

I have 2 870's they are both great guns... I use 12 ga 870 magnum for turkey and 20 gauge express magnum for rabbit

 

[hodgej1843]

870 for life..will of course take any of the 2...Remington is favored.

 

[chrisheacock]

I have an 870, but it was a trade for an old computer I no longer needed. That made my choice far easier I must say. lol

 

[TiminMishawaka]

I have 2 Moss 500s. Neither has ever failed me. However, I acknowledge that having a Mossberg 500 is like having a good stick shift pickup that never fails you. It does the job, but maybe not in style. I'm sure there's slicker actions with cooler accessories in other models out there. I've just not been that much into them.

 

[TB1999]

I am in the same boat as to which I should get. I think it really depends on which one I can get a good deal on first, because they both seem to be tops for HD.

 

[BulletSponge]

If the only choices are 500 or 870 it's 870 all day long for me. They are much harder to short stroke than the mossberg.

Mossberg 500 or Remington 870

Has been my favorite for deer and turkeys with interchangeable barrels.
Rifled barrel with cantilever mount,and a good full choke barrel for the other.
Nice short gun for a short guy!

I have both a 500 and an 870, i prefer the 870 , but I have to agree with everyone whichever is more comfortable for you is the best choice.
