Mossberg 500 VS Remington 870
Re: Mossberg 500 VS Remington 870
In my hands. The mossberg is clunky and swings like a 8'x4"x6".
My 870 is so much better in my hands.
Still bought a 500 with a 20" bbl for the house. Doesn't feel as substantial as my 870 but if 8 shells of 00 buck won't stop em. I can at least beat em with the 500 once at least.
Now my Miroku OU is sweet.

Yeah. Probably right.
That's what the Brown Bess is for! A .75" lead ball and an instant smoke screen!

Re: Mossberg 500 VS Remington 870
I’ve owned a few 870 shotguns in my life, still have 2. Dependable, easy takedown, and superb quality. However, I recently went to a Mossberg 590, and a Shockwave. I found the same reasons to like as with the Remingtons. I shoot off the left shoulder, and find the Mossbergs to be easier to operate.

870, now if you were comparing the 870 to the 590, then it gets to be a bit tougher.

I would take an older Wingmaster over any Mossberg.

870 for the long haul if shooting ALOT......
500 for the “long hauls”

Re: Mossberg 500 VS Remington 870
I have both, and I think they're both excellent BUT I
give the edge to the 500 because it's lighter weight.
I carry a Maverick 20" 12 gauge (6+1 with a bird's
head grip and 14 round bandolier shoulder strap)
in my car trunk; it's a little bit "lower quality"
500 design, which is cheap ($200 new) but good.

Mossberg because I carried one in the Army and had to use it in many *ahem* "creative" ways and because I've broken three 870s in my career.

Never owned a Mossberg 500 - but I love my 590...Old Jeff H wrote: ↑June 8th, 2021, 5:47 pm Of the two, which do you prefer?
I favor the Mossberg for two reasons:
- Slide release and safety are in better spots (to me, anyway)
- No shell lifter in the way when loading
