So I am looking to get a "tactical" shotgun... and I am definitely going for and 870..... so I have two models that I am debating between.
Firstly, there is the less expensive (basic) type, the express, found for $310-$350 this has the standard bead sight and the longish fore end.

Second, there is the "tactical" model, which runs about $440-$500, and this one comes decked out with ghost ring rear sight (plus rail) and a nice front sight, additionally, it has a breaching style muzzle break, which enables the use of standard rem chokes.

Now, if I go with the basic express, I will defiantly be getting scatter gun tech ghost ring sights, a new fore end, and maybe even some porting.
But if I just go ahead and get the Tactical, I will have the choke system.... albeit not quite as nice of sights.
Any one have experience with either? Any thoughts/opinions on which option would be better?
