I've had the rem 870 express mag for about 3 yrs and never had an issue not one....now I got the Steoger 3500 which for the value man you can't beat and has same technology as bennelli and no complaints with jams or miss fires. For semi auto def keep this as an option...it was the only reason I went to Steoger bc of 3.5" and semi-auto and most important price especially if you have a budget.
