Mossberg good!!!!!

 

[mentalbreakdown00]

coffee I have no idea on that the rifle is exactly 20 yrs old. No, not considered mossberg cause I have never owned or shot one and I don't wanna spend 2-500$ on something I cannot try or have not tried. But If enough people suggest it maybe.

what about benelli? when i went to get a 870, i ended up getting a benelli nova - absolutly amazing 12g pump! cost was 380$ i believe.

 

[mentalbreakdown00]

nice shot gun the benelli is, are any of em actually made here anymore?

i dont have any experience with the bps, but they look nice. my only concern is the bottom eject, my guess is that system takes more parts to operate, which means more parts to fail. it looks like it would be harder to clean too. but i dont have experience with it so i dont know. but for me personally, id buy remington, they're cheaper and you know they're reliable.

Actually it doesn't have any effect on reliability.

Famed Arms designers John M. Browning and John Penderson designed the basic mechanism used in both the Ithica Model 37 and the Browning BPS.
(As well as the remington Model 31 which preceeded the current 870)

the largest single user of the Ithica Model 37 is the LAPD and I think if there were a reliability problem with them they would have bought something else
to replace them in the SIXTY YEARS they have been using them.

The BPS is essentially a more polished and refined version of the Model37

The BPS and Ithica have no "ejector" as the "loading gate" or "shell lifter" throws one shell down while moving into position to lift the next round into position for the bolt to drive it into the chamber....

The one thing that might take some getting used to is loading
single rounds they must be loaded into the magazine tube with
the bolt closed and the action cycled. on a conventional side
ejection pump shotgun a single round dropped in through the
ejection port and the action closed to fire single shots.

Tat all being said if I were in the market for yet another pump shotgun
in 12ga or 20ga it'd probably be another Remington, if I were looking for
a 10ga It'd be a Browning because the Browning BPS-10 is the only
one out there...

I can't vouch for shotguns (don't own one). But if Remington makes shotguns like the 700 CDL bolt-action rifle. Then Remington all the way.

Browning is also a good firearm company too.

Well I have a 870 and I have never had a problem, that was the guns issue. I was using my buddy new bennilli blackbird semi-auto 12ga while doing sporting clays. well when I switched back to my 870 I forgot to rack another sell in for my second bird. I really love my 870 express, Good for everything I do.
But I have to say that the Blackbird is a awesome gun compared to the 11-87, the 11-87 seemed to jam when ever we used the 2 3/4" bird shot, But 3" goose shot never had a issue. some thing to do with the exhaust ports.

Look at Stoger arms their made by Bennilli for a hell of a lot cheaper.

Mossberg good!!!!!

+1, I like mine. I have a 500 and a 702 Plinkster, and I like them both.

Wouldn't mind getting a 464 30-30 to round out the collection someday.

 

[74duster318]

In my opinion, Mossberg's are the best bang for the buck. They are, in most cases, cheaper than the Remingtons. Browning, on the other hand, doesn't even compare. Unless you want to spend autoloader prices for a boring pump gun...

+1, I love my Benelli Nova


I also have a Remington semi-auto, it's a great gun, however, it does tend to jam a bit.

Ok guys, held a remington, browning, benelli, mossberg, and a cheap brand i forgot the name. Mossberg and Browning are out, I do not like the pump lock location on the back l/h of the trigger gaurd. I like the feel and balance of the benelli a lot, better than the remington. One problem on the benelli the [ump lock is almost too far forward for me to easily get to it. I will go hold them again, I couldn't make a decision today.
