Hi, I'm new here, I'm 18 years old and I'm about to complete my hunters safety course and then will be buying my first gun.

The gun I'm thinking about purchasing is a remington model 870 marine magnum.

I live in Rhode Island and this gun will be used for hunting, unless **** really hits the fan for some reason.

So I was hoping to get input from people here to see what the pros and cons would be of this gun or if I should go for something different all together.

Thanks for the help.
