Default Best all around shotgun?

There is a great deal at the local Bass Pro Shops on the Remington 870 Express and I am wondering if this is adequate for deer but I am also hoping I can use it forr waterfowl, turkey and some skeet shooting for practice in between with just the purchase of a couple choke tubes. What are your thoughts?

Probably the most popular shotgun in the US. Yeah, it will do.

If you want to spend a little more money and get (in my opinion) alot better shot gun. Go with a Browning BPS!

Well the reason I am looking at the 870 is because it is cheaper and has an amazing track record.

You will find more reviews on it b/c its very popular. One reason its very popular is b/c its one of the cheapest shot guns on the market.

Like I said, it will work and probably last you for years, but personally, I just love my BPS and every BPS i've ever held.

870 is the best all around shotgun in my opinion.

I will argure that it is the best "all around" shot gun for one reason, they have two seperate guns for a right handed and left handed person. Just like most other guns.

One except to this is the Browning BPS. It can be shot either right or left handed b/c it loads and ejects out of the bottom.

To me an "all around" gun is one that can be picked up and shot by pretty much anybody and hunt pretty much any thing.

get an 870 wingmaster or a BPS they are about equal. I have the wingmaster and think it looks a little better than the BPS but the BPS's have slightly less slop in their actions
