Home Forums Birds & Dogs Shotguns 870 or Mossburg 500?

I have run 870's for decades and never had one fail on me. All older versions but reliable they have been. Even have one that has shot hundreds of rounds of skeet and the only thing I have had to change on it was a mag spring. I also have Mossberg 500's. Rough compared to an 870 at first but they do smooth up. I had trouble with the 20 gauge Mossberg because the factory did not cut the feed ramp on the barrel somehow. Fixed that in a heartbeat with a dremel and a stone. The 12 gauge is a Maverick version which I like better because of the safety location. This is my work/crappy weather shotgun. So far so good.
