I bought my last remington in 1999- it was a rem 597 that couldn't go through an entire magazine without jamming. Probably will be the last remington that I'll ever buy.
I have a 1970s vintage 700 adl- new 700s aren't as nicely finished or as smooth. I shot serious trap for about 10 years with a 870 wingmaster of the same era- nothing ever broke on it and it was slick as snot- 300-400 rds week/ 26 or so weeks year= some serious useage Cleaned it twice in that much time- both after rainy days duck hunting. I wouldn't trust a new 870, especially the express to that kind of abuse, I'll just keep the old one.
