I need a nice pump for waterfowl. I was looking at supernova, my uncle has one and he uses it a a crowbar, a paddle, and fence post driver and it has held up really well. I was thinking the supernova or a Remington but I've heard that Remington's quality control has dropped a lot in the past couple years. Is this true? Thx

Remington 870 Supermagnum...just in case you wanna go chase some Geese too.

ps...43 years of shooting a 870..never had one in the shop,

Only last year - due to shoulder - did I switch to the 11-87...I still try to pump the thing a year later..LOL

Nothing wrong with an 870. The 870 Express model is not finished as nicely as a full price 870, but Remington builds a great pump shotgun.

Sheridan

Remington 870 or Mossberg 500.

Then "customize" to your needs.

I hunt with guys that have Supernovas and the 870's and don't think you could go wrong with either. You may want to check out winchester's Super X Pump (SXP) also. Check out as many as you can. There are alot of good pump guns in that price range.

Bin hunting with an 870 for 45 years.........Nuff said.

You will be served well with the Nova or a 870 Wingmaster. The newer 870 Express are junk.

Big Uncle

The Express does not have a beautiful finish but it is otherwise the same shotgun as the standard 870. They are not "junk".

Nimrodder

The Express is built to a price point using cheaper materials and some have ruff chambers that need to be polished before the gun is made reliable. The Wingmaster is by far a better gun (ie materials inside and out) and can be had for $300- $450 on the used gunrack.
