Alright ya'll I'm back with the shotgun questions. I was comparing the Remington 870 Combo model to the Mossberg 535 Combo. Putting them right next to each other they are pretty similar (Mossberg is fully camo whereas the Remington only has the stock and fore-end camoed, both Deer/Turkey combos). The big difference so far was the Mossberg costing about $250 to the $550 of the Remington. Is there that much of a difference to the gun? What would you recommend more? I'm making my purchase within the next week or so, so I am going to use the recommendations seriously...thanks.
both guns, if properly maintained, will get the job done for as long as you own them. i personally have 2 Mossbergs. i won't own anything else. i have a 500 and an 835. both of my shotguns have seen abuse (severe weather and hunting conditions) that no gun should ever see and always performed flawlessly.
the question is...why pay more for something that is no better than the other?
