The fit of the metal parts on the Mossberg is terrible. At least from the several I have handled in the shop.
The stevens comes with Uncle Mikes swivel studs rather than molded in plastics that are prone to breaking.
The Stevens does not use any plastic parts on their bolt or receiver like the Mossberg does.
The Stevens is smoother than the Mossberg is.
I am not refering to the stocks since both are plastic.

However the Stevens is pillar bedded where as the Mossberg isn't bedded at all.
And this is just what i can remember off the top of my head. [8D]
