RE: Opinions on the Remington 870 Super Mag
I've got both. My BPS has a 28" barrel and I use it strictly for waterfowl, and my 870 has 24" barrel and I use it strictly for turkey hunting. Other than the barrel length, the other advantages my 870 has over my BPS for turkey hunting is lighter weight, synthetic stock & matte finish, vs. wood & blued finish. I think the BPS is a smoother gun, it feels better in my hands, and I like the safety location and the smoother chamber release mechanism, but you're going to pay about twice as much for it over the 870.
