I’ve been debating over this for about 2 weeks now. I am looking for my first shotgun and are stuck between the 870 and the nova. I read that the 870 rust easy. Is that true? Well, I don’t want to spend more than 400-500 on it. Both my cousins own the 870 and the other owns the benelli. They said that both guns are good but whats the difference? which do you prefer? The Remington 870 is 200.00 (in camo finish) and the benelli is 409.00 (also in camo) I will use it mainly for hunting doves, turkeys, and probably squirrels. which gun will be a better choice?
but i have heard that the remington 870 rust after just the first time out in the field? is that true? anyone experienced that before? I want it to last a long time so that I may pass it down to my kids too…

even though i own a home ..pay ALL the taxes too!–i can’t claim residency in two states,so i chose Fla. whe i also own a small home-reason?..no state income tax. Would there be any trouble buying a shotgun for hunting in Pa.? In Fla i hunt with a rifle,not registered..lol..in Fla…you got the $$$..it’s yours!..
I have NO criminal record..worst brush with the law..a parking ticket. Could i buy a shotgun in Pa. without major hassles and/or paperwork?
thanx

I have read that some US states limit shotgun round capacity when hunting to 3 shells, why is this? If it is true i really don’t see the logic in being limited to 3 rounds, if someone could fill me in that would be great, thanks

hi, im looking into buying a Mossberg 500 shotgun sometime soon, and i need some help…. i was thinking about getting the 12 ga. model, however, i started to think more and more about getting the 20 ga. when this past weekend i went out shooting skeet and shot about 75-100 shells through a 20. and my should was somewhat sore, and i thought if i get a 12 it would be too much recoil. now i don’t know which gauge to buy. i would mostly be shooting skeet, hunting small game/ possibly birds, and probably deer eventually. which gauge should i get, 12 or 20 and why??? please help
by the way… i am 15 years old and about 120 lbs. im not sure of my height, probably around 5′… 5-6" tall.
thank you all for your answers. i was just wondering because i don’t know how much a recoil pad would work, but i am now pretty sure i will get the 12. also when i go hunting squirrel and such i have a single shot 20 ga if carrying around a 12 gets to be too much work. thanks again.

I remember seeing a great package deal on a 12g shotty. It came with two barrels… One 18" for home defense and a second 26" for hunting, etc. It was either a Remington 870 or Mossberg 500 combo with a special name. Anyone familiar with this?

Hi , im looking to buy a shotgun for my boyfriend. I am pretty clueless as to which to buy. i know i want it to be 12 guage and side by side barrels..however i dont want to spend a fotune either but i want the gun to be accurate… he definitely doesnt do a lot of hunting but he likes to shot it like skeet shooting etc. is there anything i should know before i buy? any suggestions about brands etc.
I probably should have mentioned hes already got both a remington 870 and and mossberg 500 so its funny that those are he two guns you are reccomending.

My son is 14 and is in the 9th grade. We want a shotgun with a good recoil. I have a Remington But it has to strong of a recoil for him to shoot it. What shotgun could he use to go hunting with?

Share This

lubrication points also please. if you need the exact model: 12 ga mossberg 500a combo, comes with 28" and 18.5" barrels. also, do i need to clean it after everytime i use it like my handguns, or just periodically? i plan to start hunting with the 28" barrel. if i take it shooting near lakes and stuff, will it rust quicker? any way to keep it from doing so? thanks a lot, i appreciate you guys’ help.

I’m looking to maybe get my boyfriend a 12 gauge shotgun for xmas because he has always wanted to go hunting. Also, if I can’t afford one, I was looking to get a toy gun that looks real but isn’t. Does anyone sell stuff like that?

last year i got arrested for fleeing and eluding. and i believe they charged me with a minor felony. yes it was stupid of me and i never should have done it. i got away with a few hours community service and a few months probation. well i live out in the country and hunting is a big thing here. could i buy a shotgun? i live in PA.

What is the huge difference between the 870 tactical express, and the regular 870 express?

Is it true that the tactical isn’t used for hunting?

What is so different about them and which one would you recomend?

Bonus: Take a look at all of these Remington 870 models. Which one do you like the best?

This would be my first shotgun. Main use would be for trap shooting, no hunting.

I have a 30" trap barrel on my remington 870 and i was wondering if i would be able to just add some sort of sight adjustment to use it for hunting birds/turkeys and actually aim accurately without pointing lower than the target
