Mine was and still is a remington 870 mag nwtf special edition in 20 guage and I plan on never getting rid of it. They don't make the nwtf anymore but the 870 or 1100 or the 1187 especially in 20 guage doesn't kick to hard. Especially the semi auto 11-87 and 1100. all are great and have that great remington quality. The us military still uses the 870. That should tell you something on quality
