Rem 870 or Moss 500
In the process of looking for a shotgun. Just need a bit more help/information. Was originally looking for a tactical. Then I started thinking that I could just switch barrels, and have a slug gun or switch barrels again and use it for small game, clay birds and turkey. This is right about when I started going crazy. Basically which shotgun would be best all round purpose (with just a change of the barrel). Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks You!

The 870 or the 500 would be about the same for the most part. The only real difference would be you would save a few bucks going the Mossberg route. Both are good reliable shotguns.

Re: Rem 870 or Moss 500
basically the same gun except for the locations of the safety and the action release. mossberg has a tang mounted sliding safety on top of the receiver and the action release button to the rear of the trigger guard. remington 870 has a safety button behind the trigger and the action release button is in front of the trigger guard.
so the question would be which one feels better to you?
personally i like the mossberg better.

and if you want the Tacti-cool Mossberg, you can order the 590A1 with Ghost ring sights and the stock that holds extra rounds. It all steel receiver and an extra heavy barrel that will allow you to shoot shot, slugs, or cut-down rounds for blowing locks. The can be ordered at Dicks for 489.00 out the door.
It takes 40 muscles to frown, but only 4 to pull the trigger on a decent sniper rifle.

I was faced with this same question a few years back.... I now have the 870 in 12ga and the 500 in 20ga....

Re: Rem 870 or Moss 500
I worked on both as an Armorer in the Marine Corps. Both are excellent shotguns. The Mossberg will cost you a little less, but it's just as good as the Remington. Personally I like the 870 better because the controls are closer together.
