i do not think there is a better pump shotgun then the 500 buy it shoot it love it.
Alot of people think unless it cost two legs and a arm it suckswhen it comes to pumps it does not matter the cost

If I wanted a pump shotgun,it would be another 870.

I own both and like them both.The mossberg seems a little smoother on the pump,Maybe because it is older and has had more use.
