RE: Choosing a new shotgun.
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.

RE: Choosing a new shotgun.
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

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

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.

RE: Choosing a new shotgun.
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!!!

RE: Choosing a new shotgun.
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.
