+1 on the Super Magnum. Nice to have the 3-1/2" chamber just in case if you may decide later to hunt geese or turkey. I even shoot 3-1/2" for ducks on rare ocassion. I have the BPS and Super Nova. Have not taken the nova out of the box, won it at a DU Banquet. Shoot the heck out of the BPS and let clients use it if needed. Can't hurt it.

But to get back to the original post - don't overlook the Browning line of pumps. Very nice.

Try shooting the pump guns you are interested in. I had a friend that hunted Doves with a Mossberg pump and with that gun he was a good shot. He bought a Browning and couldnt hit anything with it, both good quality guns but the Mossberg fit him better.

+1 on try some out.
I agree with Nimrodder on the newer 870 express -- and I own one. I've been a Remington fan, and would have no hesitation buying an older one used, but I do believe quality has suffered lately (I suspect in an effort to hold a price point).
I bought a used Supernova a few years ago, and I love it.
