Wow,

THis thread really has be baffled now! I'm either buying the 870 tactical or a Mossberg 500 today and I cannot decide between which either!!! Ha! The 870 where I live will be 600 new and the 500 will be half of that.

My opinion - regardless of which you have, you have to work with it to get it in top turkey performance, chokes, shells, pellet size, etc. If your gun, regardless of make, beats those hurdles, and you've killed a few birds with it, and your confident with it.............well then by golly stick with it!

I'm also interested in some opinions on scopes..............I'm thinking of trying one of those out this year.............just don't know yet -

what do you all think??
