I've shot more ducks with same gun than any other. when i first started duckin' it was all i could afford. i love that gun, it has never failled even in the most severe weather. I have three 870's diffrent finishes and guages. and the 3" chambering is plenty of pop in most applications.

Are you really serious? The Rem 870 IMO is the most reliable shotgun you can take to the duck blind. Over decoys some 2 3/4" #4s (steel) and for passing geese load up with some 3" BBB (steel) or BB Tungsten.
Remember though, steel shoots tighter then lead with the same choke so I'd recommend nothing tighter than a modified (lead) choke out of your shotgun to avoid damage to your barrel.

I plan on using my Mossy 500 for Geese this year so i'm glad the 3 inch round is big enough.

I use an 870 supermag in black synthetic to duck hunt. Have been using it for years and won't use anything else. You don't have to worry about scratching it up. You can put it through anything. Also, you don't have to worry about it freezing up, like automatics will sometimes doin cold weather. To me the synthetic 870 is the perfect duck hunting gun.

Only the best. You could dunk that thing in the mud and it still shoot (I dont advise you do that) but that gun will go boom everytime you pull the trigger.

as much as i love the 870, i love my super nova even more.

the 870 will never stop working, even after you use it to push yourself out of a mud hole
