mossberg 500 or remington 870
« Thread Started on Jul 16, 2012, 11:33am »

what do you prefer and why. the mossberg 500 or the Remington 870. I prefer the 870 because I have used it and found it to be a solid and trusty gun.

I think both are good, but prefer the Remington. I have Remington pump rifles as well and the ergonomics/trigger group is basically the same, so I have 'spares'. The 870 does well with a lifter upgrade. (cheap fix.) I've heard Mossbergs sometimes break extractors so I'd have a spare-they are easily replaced from what I understand however. Both are GTG. If buying a Mossberg and I could afford it I'd go for a Mariner (SS) or a 590A1 (same as issued to USMC.)

tistine is a troll. No matter what you say, he will find a way to ridicule it. I encourage everyone to simply boycott him. Witness the responses I got from him. He's not worth the effort.

I hear that if the extractor on the 870 breaks you have to send the whole gun in to get it fixed. I like my 500, I am planning on getting a stock with a pistol grip to lessen the recoil on it.
