They are both quality shotguns, the 12 is a bit smoother...but it's been fired a lot more. The newer Wingmaster is no slouch. I replaced the shell follower with an aftermarket aluminum follower, just cause I didn't like the plastic. With it had a shiny, reflective chrome lifter smile. But it's well built and pretty darn smooth.


I have an older 1979, 20 gauge lightweight and it is definitely not on a 12 gauge frame. Smaller and lighter than my 12 gauge Wingmaster.
Unless your looking for nicer wood and shiny blue steel, there's nothing wrong with the Express series. I have both and they shoot the same.
