My personal opinion is Mossberg makes the BEST shotguns available but I am a deer and hog hunter only. I can not speak for the bird guys. I have found that my Mossberg 835 Ulti-Mag. is the most durable and dependable shotgun I have ever owned. Being a deer and hog hunter, I have had my Mossberg in situations that guns were just not suppose to be in. I have personally used mine as a " crutch" while walking through the swamps of Florida. When I got back to my truck, I broke it apart, sprayed it down with wd 40 (I had nothing else to clean it with while I was out in the woods), put it back together. Later that afternoon I shot a 280+ pound wild hog. It performed flawlessly. Other unnamed brand shotguns would jam and malfunction with the slightest bit of dust, much less caked with gumbo mud.

Furthermore, every gun manufacturer has " lemon" guns. For someone to totally down a whole manufacturer in general just shows their lack of intelligence in the field of fire arms.
