i have had two 500s one i bought used one new.
They where both top grade guns infact i looked at the rem and most other pumps and figured why not just buy the 500. In my book the best shotgun ever made

Neither is the wrong choice. If you know someone that has either one, or both, try them out. Buy the one you can hit with the best. Shotguns are like that. Fit is really important.
I have the 500, never a hiccup.
