I can't comment on the Browning as I don't have one. I do have two 870's though. The first is an older "Wing Master". It had a beautiful stock which I replaced with a camo stock. I use it for turkey hunting and also bought a Hastings rifled barrel and Leupold 2x7 which I use for deer hunting in the mid west. The other is a 20ga I bought my daughter for turkey hunting.

Both have been solid guns and there are tons of aftermarket accessories for them. At one point I bought a Benelli but ended up going back to my "old reliable'" 870.
