    Which shotgun and why?

    Rem 870, winchester 1300, or FN?

    Thanks for helping me narrow down!

    870. Cheap, reliable, American made with unlimited aftermarket mods
    God, grant me the serenity
    To accept the things I cannot change;
    The courage to change the things I can;
    And the wisdom to know the difference.

      Of the three choices, the 870 for sure...for all the reasons professorhard mentioned!!!
      You will never, in your life, have a chance like this again.
      If I were you, I would not pass this up. I would not let this go by...this is rare.
      Come on...what harm??

        okay. I have narrowed to 870 from my threads than reading what others have said about 1300....., than looking at fn slp model..., I want to make sure before I buy.

        thanks for the opinions!

                IMO the 1300 is the best of the low-buck shotguns. HOWEVER... The aftermarket kinda sucks for it, so if you want to ninja it all out, the 870 is probably the best. But the 1300 does feel way better built.

                        yes. I am considering that later for semi gun.

                        Now, and i should have clarified, looking to pump first I think than semi.

                          Your choice, that's how I got two 870. Hehe one was my first shotgun(like you, it was my kid dream gun) and the other because I wanted to ninja it out so I can pass my first gun to my son in it's original form.

                            I have a Winchester 1200 Defender. Unfortunately, I now have to look for a turkey and pheasant gun and I don't think one over/under is going to cover both.
