1. I own a mossberg 935and a remington 870 andas far as quality I would say the 870 is the best. Not that the mossberg isnt a decent gun, just thatrem. is better... My opinion.

2. I think just about every one owns at least one

3. I know at least 2 people that dropped their 870 in a lake, one got it out next day and the other more like a week later, dried and cleaned them and they still shoot geat. They're just rock solid.

My 2 cents.
