I read a good article the other day about the "Battle of the Pumps." Mossberg 500 vrs. the Remington 870.
Personally, I like the location of the safety and action release on the Mossburg over the 870. but I can't gripe about the service of my 870. I am still hunting with my brothers Remington Wing Master 870 that was bought in 1955. I'ts still a work horse. Here is the link to the article. Hope it works. Doug
Doug, I have one of each. I have an old 20 ga. Wingmaster I bought in the dark ages, when I was about 14, and a Mossberg 12 ga. Turkey Gun I bought a few years ago. Both are good shotguns. I think I like the old Wingmaster better, but not for any particular reason. I do like the safety on the Remington better, but there's nothing wrong with the other one. That little Turkey Gun is so light that it kicks like a durn mule. It's camo with a short barrel and a composite stock, it's nice to carry but not so much to shoot, but it's potent. I have no experience with the newer Remington Express, there are a lot of them out there though. My old Wingmaster just fits.
