RE: Mossberg 500 vs. Remington 870
I have an 870 and a 500, but the 870 has been my main shotgun for 25 of my 35 years. I cant imagine a gun being anymore durable or dependable. The 500 is a good gun as well but I love my 870. The 870 always patterned like a rifle with the 30 in full choke and 6 shot.
