    about two years ago i got my mossberg 500, no issues. its nice. i prefer the safety on the back.
    remington is going under, no?
    although i'd love to see a tac-13 semi auto mag fed in their version of marinekote.

    Mossberg, the finish on the new remingtons is garbage and overall quality is halfassed

    Used Remington 870 for about $200-300...............Unlike the Mossberg it will last for many many more decades

    We use the Mossberg 590A1. I like it and bought one for myself.

    Remington, Mossberg, Winchester are all good. I prefer the Mossberg.

    I prefer the 870 even though my first "real" shotgun was a 500.

    In terms of Current Production Manufacturing Quality I would recommend a Mossberg.

    Nothing to with controls, function, ability to accessorize, etc. Just production quality.

    I used to have both 500s and 870s. I somehow gravitated to the Mossberg line and sold off the 870s. Recently I got a used 870 police model; somehow, even after a complete strip down:cleaning:lube, I just didn't like the way the slide felt. So now I've sold it and am back to just a couple of 500s. Looking to buy one more 500.

    I'm also a 500 fan. I haven't had any issue that would make me switch teams, and I prefer the tang safety over the trigger guard cross bolt safety.
