homers bros. my price range is up to around 400 maybe a lil over but not much. and when i went to gander mtn. yesterday i spent about two hours milling over the 500 the 870 and a Browning BPS Stalker. out of the 870 and the 500 i really like the 870 a lil more. it seems to shoulder better and has a nice swing for me. also it seemed that at least on the ones in the store the action was much smoother on the 870 which i definatly like. But i was suprised, i really liked the Browning also, do you guys have an experience with that? its used and a lil over 400 but it seems to be in good condition and it has a real smooth action and has the bottom ejection. any opinions on that gun? i dont wanna spend it on a used gun if its not really worth the chance. Appreciate the help guys!
