BRAND NEW 870 vs BRAND NEW Mossy 500

The Mossbergs aluminum receiver never rusts...

The last three Mossberg 500's I bought were all under $100 each OTD

For a working shotgun made in the US, that is an outstanding price and value.

My 870 used to jam. I had to break it in. 500's are definitely more reliable right out of the box. Take it for what it is. If your heart is set on a 870 than get it and shoot the hell out of it. If you want a 500, rest assure that it'll work from day one.
