[QUOTE="Supermag, post: 718354, member: 6408"] All are good choices but the most important thing is to get what fits you. I've own/owned a number of 870s but was never really happy with my performance with them because they've got too much drop for me and my preferred aiming picture (bird just above the bead, probably due to years of trap shooting). Also, a gun that fits is going to be more comfortable to shoot than one that doesn't. To see if it fits, wear your hunting/shooting clothes or coat into the store and ask to throw up a couple of them. Close your eyes and throw up the gun tight to your shoulder and face. Once it's there, open your eyes and see where the bead. If it's left or right, that's a cast problem that you probably won't be able to correct with an off the shelf gun. If you can't see the bead, it will shoot low. If you can't see any rib but do see the full bead, it will shoot right behind the bead (typical field gun sight picture, aka cover up the target). If you see rib, it will shoot above the bead and the more rib you see, the higher it will shoot (I prefer about 1/8-1/4" of rib so it will shoot about 1" above the bead). [/QUOTE]
