I've got an 835 mossberg thats about 8 years old and has never given me any troubles , not one time. It came in camo finish...This year I bought one of the new 870s in matt black with synthetic stocks that came in 3 1/2 inch...Its a duck and goose killing son of a gun too....I have one problem with it and thats if you hunt near any salt water it will rust before your eyes...I was on a two day trip and cleaned it three times...I suggest , since you already have one 870 , to buy one or the camo finish 870s in 3 1/2...That way your choke tubes will interchange...My new 3 1/2 870 shoots like a dream , and the only problem I have with it was the rusting near salt water...Two guys I hunted with were shooting 870 camos and theirs only needed cleaning on the inside , showed no rust on the exterior at all... My gun will be rust proof after this season but it will still be black
