model 12's are great I have only one now.. they were in production what ?? 52 years?? The 870 has been rolling along for 65 years.. I have had less trouble with my 870's than my model 12's..
The Rem 870 is about as trouble "Free" as any shotgun ever produced.

Huge difference between the old Wingmasters and the newer 870s, it's like comparing the Model 12s and the Model 1200s. Not even close so even though Remington kept the 870 designation the "rolling along" ended some years back.
