I have both the Mossberg 500 and the Remington 870 in 12GA. They are both awesome guns. My preference is the Remington 870, perhaps because it is the gun I grew up with besides the Ruger 10/22. Those are two guns that I will never get rid of.

A Remington 870 cost me about $275.. Very reliable shotgun.
if price is not a factor, get a saiga 12

Not only did he sell us out, this douche bag did it to his own father! I'm more upset him selling his father out. I don't care who i think is going to win i would never sell my father out. If his willing to sell his father out what else is for sale?
I'd go with the Remington 870P. The "P" denotes the police model, which has some higher quality parts than the other 870 versions.

Check out the Benelli Nova 12ga pump, or the Benelli Supernova if you prefer the pistol grip.
I always thought I had to choose between a Mossberg 5XX or Remington 870, but then I saw the Nova on sale at the local gun shop.
I got mine for $343.00 plus state taxes, comes standard with "ghost ring" sights and is chambered for everything up to 3.5" shells.
If you got a gun with interchangeable (long) barrels, is there anything preventing a body from buying an extra barrel and cutting a few inches off the end to better match the length of a home security model?
Rand can win in 2016 only after the security guards will listen to us rather than the establishment hacks and only after we are able to ensure that the rules are followed and the votes accurately tallied.
As long as the cut off barrel is of legal length. (18 inches, I believe)Originally Posted by Tod
Liberty is lost through complacency and a subservient mindset. When we accept or even welcome automobile checkpoints, random searches, mandatory identification cards, and paramilitary police in our streets, we have lost a vital part of our American heritage. America was born of protest, revolution, and mistrust of government. Subservient societies neither maintain nor deserve freedom for long.

They use to make the 500 with a field/security barrel combo, would probably be a great deal(if still available) for a multipurpose shotgun. Check out my new HD toy I picked up the other day:
The Mossberg 500 ZMB..lol...it has something to do with Zombies or something, not really something I'm in to but besides not having a heatshield and a bayonet lug it's pretty much the same as the Mossberg 590 but a hell of alot cheaper.
As for deer hunting with the ZMB, I wouldn't. I prefer rifles for deer hunting but I suppose that 20 inch barrel wouldn't be too bad if you did some up close stalk hunting.
Also, don't buy a Maverick 88! If you can afford it, you can afford the base field model 500 from Walmart. Last I checked they were like $209.

Here in Ohio, can't use rifle for deer hunting, for some reason.

My vote is gor the 12ga 870 with an extra slug barrel or HD barrel. two guns in one and easy/quick to change barrels.
Can't go wrong with the mossberg either.
I don't think you can screw this up with any of your choices and what you want to accomplish, so get whatever you feel comfortable with (or flip a coin) and have fun!
