I'm looking to get my first shotgun soon. It will be used for plinking and some trap shooting. I would prefer it be an affordable yet reliable synthetic pump action style. What are my options?
A brand new Remington 870 Express or a Mossberg 500 can be had for around $250 give or take. Both come in a variety of configurations and both are solidly built, reliable shotguns. A new Mossberg Maverick 88 can be had for less than 200 bucks, but Ive never handled one so I cant speak to the quality or function.
Personally, I dont think you can go wrong with the 870.
Either the Mossberg 500 or the Remington 870. I don't like the safety on the 870, and the 500 felt better to me, so I got the 500. Handle both of them and go from there.
I know alot of people will say 870, but i say Mossberg 500. It's was my first shotgun, and the only one i will trust. plus the 870 has that weird little flap where you put in the shells.
