Default RE: Best All Around Win 1300, Moss 835 or Rem 870?

i have 2 870's and my dad has 1, i use my 20 for small game and deer (slugs) and the 12 for turkey, and sometimes for birds.

The 870 will shoot forever, has TONS of accessories out there for it, chokes, barrels, sights, scope mounts, etc.
The 870 is also REALLY easy to strip and clean, to completely strip the gun to the pieces, clean, and reassemble takes about 10 minutes.

We also have a 1300, and i will agree it cycles a little faster than the 870, but the release for the slide is awkward to use, and the safety is a little different, and kinda noisy (for something like turkey, it clicks loudly). It is also tougher to disassemble and clean than the 870, and theres more nooks and crannies where dirt and powder residue can get into, and never come out.

Its probably just b/c im more familiar with the 870, but it just seems more user friendly to me.
