Hi, Im planning on getting a new shotgun, It must come with a 3 inch chamber and i've come to this decision: Mossberg 500, or Remington 870. I'm almost new to shotguns, I only had a few side by sides.
Isn't that what Remington and Mossberg offer?Why must it come with a 3" chamber???
Yes, I am well adjusted to and prefer tang safeties over button safeties.Both work very well and have a long enough history. There are some advantages of the finer models, and the cheaper versions are a little rougher. If you are well adjusted to tang safeties you will want the 500. If you are not, the Maverick 88 has a safety near same as 870, is really a Mexican Mossberg 500.

Probably because one can shoot 2&3/4" shells out of it most steel loads are 3" and most pump guns with 2&3/4" barrels come with fixed choke and no choke tubes.Why must it come with a 3" chamber???
Not ever needed for 99% of all shotgun applications!
(Unless you must use steel shot for duck / goose hunting)
