i' de have to pick a mossberg , i' m not afraid of dinging them up compared by price , and i' ve never had any that malfunctioned for me , i' ve got 3 mossberg pumps allready , ulti-mag , m500in 12 guage , and m500 in .410 bore
I would have to choose a benelli of the three.I would not own a mossberg due to feeding problems that hunting partners have had with them in the past.Actually my favorite over and under is the browning citori.I used one for skeet shooting for many years and was very pleased with it.For a semi auto I like berreta as they never seem to jam.For a pump the 870 remington is as reliable as they come.
I agree with you 100% on your choice for the pump stubble...I love my 870 for the field.....also I like your choice in O/U. Currently I am useing a citori lightning for my skeet shooting

For a pump I would choose Benelli. I own both a Mossberg and Benelli pump and the Benelli is 10X' s the gun. Also the length of pull fits me better. As for O/U sorry, I don' t own any [&o]

Out of those three I would take a Benelli Montefeltro. BUT they do not make a slug barrel for it and the other guns with a slug barrel by Benelli are ugly. So I would take my Browning Gold European Hunter
Very Broad question but I will attempt to answer it.. Comparing Benelli Nova with Mossberg Ulti-mag...have had both and the nod goes to the Benelli. As far as o/u' s go Ruger for the money is impossible to beat...matter of fact was comparing a new Ruger o/u with a Beretta Silver whatever(fake woodgrain stock) and no comparism Ruger is 1/2 the price and same gun but it doesn' t have engraving on the reciever. Besides I' m an sxs fan anyway. Been there with Browning Citoris so wouldn' t even consider purchasing another.
