Ok, I have owned both a Remington and a Mossberg, The mossberg was junk, I always had it jamming and falling a part, literally, and my friend has one, and the stock is always falling off. And I have never had one problem with my Remington, but my stepdad jammed my remington up shooting 3 1/2's, because he has a shorter pull than me...so i would go with a remington...just my 2 cents
