Strut10 Posted October 1, 2006 Report Share Posted October 1, 2006 Re: Mossberg Vs. Remington I wouldn't even consider this a fair comparison. 870............no question. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kuntryboy Posted October 1, 2006 Report Share Posted October 1, 2006 Re: Mossberg Vs. Remington I've got both guns and also a moss. 835 . I prefer the moss. it just fits me better! the 835 hits every thing I point it at ,BUT kicks like a mule !! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bulldawg Posted October 1, 2006 Report Share Posted October 1, 2006 Re: Mossberg Vs. Remington Remington, hands down in my books. I had a Mossberg 9200 that was the biggest piece of junk I ever owned in a shotgun. But, that's the experience I had with one; your own experieces I hope, were much better. But, it turned me off to the brand itself. Never had problems with any Remington. Dawg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WaCoyote Posted October 1, 2006 Report Share Posted October 1, 2006 Re: Mossberg Vs. Remington The choice of shotgun may or may not have an affect on your shooting however, the 870 is a better shotgun. The express though, is the economy version while the wingmaster is the "deluxe" model for lack of a better word. They are wholly different. I have 2 wingmasters and the actions are slick and smooth. I bought my daughter an express 20 ga. and while it's a fine little gun it's not anywhere near the wingmaster. I would like you to consider a Browing BPS. I switched to them back in the days when they took lead away from waterfowlers and I find the Browning to be a superior shotgun. I have three and absolutely love them.

Mach1 Posted October 3, 2006 Report Share Posted October 3, 2006 Re: Mossberg Vs. Remington You couldn't pay me to own a Mossberg. The 870 is the choice for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Xen Posted October 3, 2006 Report Share Posted October 3, 2006 Re: Mossberg Vs. Remington first of all, don't ever listen to anybody that tells you that your gun isn't good enough to shoot a good score with. i've had my "cheap", old, worn-out browning sitting in the gun rack for the shoot-offs right along side the perazzis and kriegoffs. now, all that being said, i would take an 870 over a mossberg. i have shot a couple of different mossberg 500's and have shot an old schoold quality 870 and a new school cheap wally-world 870. i like the 870 a lot more than the mossberg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoosierDaddy28 Posted October 3, 2006 Report Share Posted October 3, 2006 Re: Mossberg Vs. Remington I wouldn't shoot either for trap if you are going to be serious about it. Beretta 391 would be the minimun. Yes it comes down to the shooter, but a trap gun is a whole lot easier to shoot trap with than a field grade Remington or Browning, or Mossberg etc..

Canadian_Goose Posted October 3, 2006 Report Share Posted October 3, 2006 Re: Mossberg Vs. Remington Go with an O/U if you can. It'll help you concentrate if you know you have only 2 shells (well it did for me at least). Plus the added barrel weight will help with your swing and follow through and the shorter lentgh allows for quick shouldering. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoyt03 Posted October 3, 2006 Report Share Posted October 3, 2006 Re: Mossberg Vs. Remington Never shot a 500 but i have an 870 express and a mossberg 835. I would give the remington a slight edge but the mossberg 835 is a decent gun as well. I have heard stories of all the beatings and abuse 870's have taken for years and still hit the mark. They are a very durable hunting gun. If you have a 500 already I wouldnt get an 870 express, if you want a gun for trap get something slightly more specialized. Not enough difference b/w the 870 and 500. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WABS Posted October 3, 2006 Report Share Posted October 3, 2006 Re: Mossberg Vs. Remington Don't own a Mossberg, but you'd have to pry the 870 out of my hand. I've never owned a shotgun that I have more confidence in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AJ Posted October 5, 2006 Report Share Posted October 5, 2006 Re: Mossberg Vs. Remington It depends. If the Mossberg shoots where you look and the Remington does not, the Mossberg is the better gun...for you. Having said that, both guns are good quality mechanically. The Rem has better fit and finish of its parts. To some the Mossberg feels like you are holding a 2x4. To shoot a good score, its the shooter, not the gun.
