i currently own mossbergs and remingtons ,
my remington 870 wingmaster lightwieght magnum functions flawlessly. and is DEFINITELY NOT JUNK . and i' m planning on getting one in 16 gauge
my mossberg' s don' t feed too well and don' t seem too sturdily put together in the operation of the action bars and forend but , they' ve never let me down yet.
i' ve got an 835 and i really like it , however the reason i purchased a 835 is because remington didn' t offer a 3 1/2 " 12 gauge shotgun at that time. and the mossberg i didn' t mind getting a little wet and dirty as i look at it as a beater type gun because they are inexpensive and aren' t made with all of the glamour and glitz like high gloss walnut , or fancy roll engraved receivers ( i don' t have anything against glamour but , it' s not something i want with me when in a duck blind or trudging through some swampy marsh and having to risk a fall and getting it all mucky or damaged, and as most of us know , sometimes accidents happen to the most careful people ). but if you want an 835 , they' re good guns , as i' ve said , they' ve never let me down
