Go with the 870 express. Check around and you can find it for about 250 maybe a little more. Where are you looking?

The mossberg 500 is a great gun. It may not be the best but it is a good all around gun. I use one for turkey and it has performed well. Killed my first bird last season with it. Plus the extra barrels and chokes are not as expensive as most.

Around where in hampton? I am in Newport News. I was looking at a Mossberg 500, camo, choke tube, 6 shot capacity, for $233 at Hampton Wal-Mart. I will get an 870 more than likely

without a doubt, for a few bucks more, a remington 870, I wounldn't waste my money on a mossberg.

I wouldn't say that the money would be wasted on a mossberg.I have an 835 and I wouldn't trade it for an 870 any day,and I am a big remington fan.

I go with the one that feel right when I shoulder the gun, I have both,A Remington 870 Express 21in barrel with a Ventilator choke tube and a Mossberg 500 with a 20in. Accu-choke barrel that uses a Hasting choke tube,Both guns shoot's good,The Mossberg is a ligther gun.

i have a 870 camo supermag, the gun shoots awesome and is deadly on turkeys.
the only drawback, is when shooting 3 1/2 shells, it kicks like a mule!!!

I'd say that an 870 is going to be about the same weight as a mossberg 500(maybe a little heavier). I can get one for about $240-$250 arounf here. I also like the winchester 1300. It is light and doesn't have as nasty of recoil as the 870 or 500. They run about $240.

I live in Foxhill. You should check at the Pawn shop on Mercury, by the K Mart. He will order stuff and beat Walmart.
