Thinking about getting a new Tacticool shotgun

I've been looking around at tactical shutguns (because I don't really have one) and been thinking pump for sure.

I've looked at the:
Remington 870

Mossberg 500

Anyone have opinions on any of these? what's the aftermarket support for them? What should I look out for?

Yes i will be modding the crap out of it over time so that's why I ask about aftermarket support.

Thanks

Edit:
Mine will be the bottom one...

 

mossberg 500 is great. I have one and love it. You cant go wrong with either though.

check them both out at a local store. I liked the safetly location on the mossy better, however unless you get the 590, the safety mechanism is plastic.

 

there are tons of add ons for both these shottys. I have a mossberg 500 with 18.5 inch barrel. love shooting it.

 

Benelli M4... There is no substitute!

 

I've always been a fan of the 870. The Mossberg is a nice weapon though.

 

$200.... 20 years ago........I love this thing .....never has let me down sand , mud, rain, saltwater,= reliable
MOSSBERG 500

 

Both are awesome. I have a 500 cruiser (7+1) and a 835. I think the Mossberg is a better bang for the buck but would be happy to own either. My dad has the 870 and he really likes it.

 

Oh I so wish I could afford that, but I don't have a G.5 to drop on that.

I'm trying to stay under $400 intial purchase. I need to get a hold of a mossberg, don't think I've ever held one.

I'm thinking calapsible stock and some other gooddies anyone have some reccomendations?

 

Stay away from the useless pistol grip stocks=best advise

 

ya I don't want just the pistol grip but the collapsible stock and grip combo.

I was just looking at the Mossberg and Remington on Cabela's site, The Remington is running 1.5 to 2 inches shorter...But I like the mossberg looks more. Oh how will I decide, I need to go look at one.

Matt what are some good gun shops on the Westside of town, I only know of shooters world but they are pricey sometimes.

 

Mossberg 500. They are very reliable. Extremely smooth action. You want fast/reliable in your zombie defense!

 

It's up to you but I went through most of them because I thought they looked good and were functional but I sold them all off because in my experience they just aren't as easy to handle as regular stock. YMMV. If you insist on having a pistol grip stock, get the 870 as it's safty is in a better position for that set up.

 

I may regret it, but it's the look I've always like and wanted...there is a version of the mossberg that comes stock with a collapsible stock and grip.

Just getting ready to list a new 12 Ga. Rem. 870 express 2 3/4"-3" chamber, vent rib, remchoke 28" barrel I think, wood stock and forend.
If interested let me know.
Now if you want one already setup I have one that may work for you.
I will check details on that one as well.

 

I really don't want anything with a 28" barrel. This is going to do nothing but shoot targets, not clays or birds.

but what do you have in the way of the other, I may be interested...

 

I will pull it out and get the particulars for you.

 

Sounds good, man thanks

I'm liking this one now too...

O.K. Rem. 870 12 GA. 2 3/4"-3" chamber 20" barrel, Mag tube ext.
Speed feed buttstock (no extra shell style) Black syn. forend don't know if it is speedfeed or not, Rifle sights, side saddle shell holder.

Finish is not pretty it is a combo of park and others.
If you know Glockmonger he can do any kind of finish if you want a cool dez cammo or all one type or color, he has done a bunch of stuff for me.
I can get some pics tomorrow for you.
I can PM the price when I get pics for you.

 

I love my Mossberg Mariner Model 500.
