one of those guns has a smoothbore slug barrel which i use own on my dads 870 and the other has a filed barrel. oyu wnat the filed barrel for trap, turkey, ducks,pheasant etc. but you could slugs if you wanted to. another gun that you can look at is the Mossberg 500 or 835. its usually a little cheaper than the 870. i have an older 500 and it works fine but i dont really know what the new ones are like but you should check out both guns. i dont think you could go wrong with either
