colbye, Welcome to the forum!

skarrecrow,
I have a different shotgun I owned for years, but when I get another one, it will be the Remington 870. I've looked around at several models and that attracts me the most. I have also read several threads similar to yours and from what I've read in those replies, many had good reasons why along with several recommendations.
I do have one suggestion and that is to hold several brands and models to get an idea which one feels right for you. The one I have I had most of my life and it feels natural to me.
Good luck,
