Don' t believe them biased rem fans for a second.Although the 870 is a fair scattergun it isn' t worth the extra bucks. Mossberg 500' s are one of the most reliable shotguns ever made. Rem. fans just like to promo their guns just they got suckered into paying more for a shotgun that ain' t no better. Are both of these guns new or used? Although VERY underrated the moss 500 is a VERY reliable gun to true adverse conditions.Trust me, the NEW mossy are better built than the NEW Rem. If you don' t believe me, check out why the military and law enforcement both left Rem. and went to Mossberg.Mossy was the ONLY one to pass the tests these dept. required to meet their standards.I was just through this whole Rem. vs. Mossy thing a little while ago, the OLD 870' s were good, the NEW ones leave something to be desired, at least Mossy stays consistant, a true workhorse that gets the job done.For pure quality for your buck,why pay more? Just remember...Moss is boss for true down and dirty hunting[8D][8D]
Why do they say Rem. is better? Because your paying more for the Remington name and the dealers make more money if the guns they sell are a higher price. Get the picture???
