Hey Kelly I used a Rem 11-87SP 3" 12 ga for many years then went to a rem 870SP 3 1/2" 12 ga. I've shot a lot of duck and geese with both in addition to a few turkeys. I still have the 870 but I also Purchased a Franchi Intensity which is the same operation system as the Benelli Super Eagle (both owned by the same company) for a couple hundred dollars less than the Benelli. Unfortunately overlapping hunting seasons and taking out grandkids hunting have stymied my waterfowl hunting for a couple years so I can't tell you how the Franchi performs.
