Having had both shotguns mentioned, I think the Browning BPS is the best pump shotgun. It is for me atleast!

I have both a Mossberg 500 and a Remington 870. Neither one out shines the other in my opinion. They both work well for me.

I own both, and like both equally well. Neither one has outperformed the other yet

This is very similar to the Remington Vs. Savage arguments that we get into all the time. So I am going to be careful with my answer.

If you win a shotgun at a gun bash, and you are allowed to choose either a Mossberg or a Remington pump shotgun...... I doubt very seriously if anyone would pick the Mossberg. And that would be the cheaper Express. IF you compare the Mossberg to the WingMaster....... Well there is no comparison. Tom.

IMO The mossberg is a little loud and clackety compared to the Remington. With a traditional stock I like the thumb safety on the Mossberg. I bought a collapsible AR-15 style stock and put it on my mossberg. I hate it. In this configuration, I would rather the trigger guard safety of the Remington. Other than the location of safety and slide release, I really can't think of any way one would outshine the other. Both are awesome scatterguns. It really depends on what you plan to use it for.

I rate them in this order

[ul][*]Winchester Model 12[*]Browning BPS[*]Remington 870[*]Ithaca 37[*]Mossberg[/ul]

I realize 1 and 4 are no longer made.

I own one of each. I like the Remington safety more. Plus the Mossberg seems more sloppy. But the game I've take with each cant tell the difference.
