Mossberg 590 or remington 780?

[tombinghamthegreat]

so which one? Is the 590 able to withstand alot of abuse?

wtf is a 780?

[hybridatsun350]

Yea, is the 780 a new budget model from Remington or something?

Just kidding. The Mossberg 500/590 series of shotguns are great. As is the Remington 870. I will not recommend either one over the other. Just go check them both out and see which one fits you best. They each have their own quirks, but you have to play with them to know which one you prefer.

Get a 590A1.

i ment 870. sorry about that.

[hitnrun]

I would say 870 (or 780), whichever you prefer.

[fast318]

They both are very durable. I would suggest going to Big 5 and checking them out. They main difference that you will notice is the location and type of safety. I prefer the safety on the Mossberg. Militay and Law Enforcement use both makes.

Get a 590A1.

I just bought one of these and must say I like it a lot better than any 870

+1. I have a 590 and an 870 Wingmaster... neither one is superior to the other in quality or fit and finish in my opinion.

It mostly depends on personal taste... mostly (Aliens)

Depends on where you like your safety.

The 870 is easier to strip down then the 500 (never messed with a 590)

I think the 590A1 (or some version) has the heavy barrel, which is cool - but I don't believe you can add a heat shield if you ever wanted one.

Some companies make after market products for Mossberg and not Remingtion and vice versa.

I would say an 870 over a 500 any day (unless you got a really good deal on the 500) But I don't know about the 590 vs. the 870 - most gun shop workers and serious shooters I meet prefer the 870 over the 590.

Personally I picked the 870.

Your wrong....You can modify the mossberg heatshield to fit over the larger barrel the 590A1 comes with....I think I saw the instructions on the firing line forums archive....
