Do you care where the safety is located? I do.

Mossberg 590 FTW.

not really. It's not a home defense gun. It's a hunting gun

That's cool, np. Buy right, or buy twice.

Value wise

1st 500 - For the pice great shot gun. As long as you dont want a pretty gun.

2nd 870 - another great gun. Slightly more expencive than the 500 only because it has a "cleaner" looking fit and finish

3rd Nova - Its a benelli so its a good gun. But your also paying a bit more for that. Again still a good gun and will probably have a good resale value.


While on resale 870s and 500's also have great resale being Americas shot guns. Benelli is known more for its higher ends (trab and tactical semi guns like the M2/M4)

Thanks. I think I'm set on the Benelli now. Kind of even considering a Supernova over the Nova. I couldn't stand the rattle of the Mossberg so that is now out of the question. And although the Remington 870 appealed to me from the beginning, the fact that I keep hearing that they are not as good as they used to be and their failure to feed problems combined with the part that requires the workmanship of a gunsmith to remove and replace have kind of turned me off. I have heard nothing but good about Benelli

I've owned at Mossberg 500 combo which is a great combo. however I've sold it and have kept my Remington 870 and my Benelli Super Nova. Of the two the Benelli is much better firearm IMHO.

I can assure your that is complete BS and a common ignorance for the uneducated gun /forum community.

Youll be fine with the super nova but just to clear the air. Its not Remington. Its manufacturing in it self. Minimum wage, cost of living and materials go up in price. Companies are forced to make cut backs to stay in the black. Simple business/manufacturing.

QC is the easiest simplist way to do this. Spend less time on each single unit and press out a few more makes the product per paid hour makes more money.


So again its not remington its companies all over the US. Were not china (No offense to anyone) where we can just get away with screwing the worker so we do the product. Winchester, Remington, ect ect go on all dropped their QC. Some worse than others yes. But Remington is no worse than others.

Where the issue is is guys buying winchester bulk ammo and low end shells with VERY well dropped QC that jams all shot guns. Ive had jams in a banelli, 2 500's, 1 870 and a few more. 2 times with federal low. Ive even had a squib from winchester bulk.

So in short its not Remington its ammo QC. But typical forum goers have to blame the rival of their guns maker to feel better about their gun. And all they do is live through someone else and usually regurgitate something they saw on youtube as their own story and then people think its 2 different stories when one guy just repeated a story then 4 guys repeat that same story and so on and now you have a wild fire of BS because of one or 2 stories. So in that way it was marked as Remingtons problem for a while. But truth came out quick it was with a lot of shot guns with this bulk cheap ammo.

But no Remington is not a lower company compared to others. Its just another BS rumor some people started and it caught like wild fire. They are great shotguns. There was also a QC thing about Novas for a while having issues as well not too far back.

Moral of the story is use quality ammo and they will all run. If you use dirt cheap ammo dont be mad you got dirt cheap performance. But the nova is a decent gun so you should be happy with it.

GL and happy shooting

my advice to you is to go and handle them all. then make a decision upon your findings. we can tell you to get this, get that... in the end... if you are a gun enthusiast, you will collect all.

I completely agree with you. In fact, I am a very proud owner of a Remington 700 ADL in .308. In fact Ive been yearning to purchase an 870 for awhile. But at this point in time I am really impressed by the benelli and feel it is a better deal for me. Thanks for your input and post

I inherited a sentimental Mossberg 500 Mariner and sold my sweet 870. Though I prefer the Mossberg safety the 870 action is noticeably smoother and reliable.

When I bought my 2 barrel Mossberg 20ga 500 combo from Big 5 several years ago, it came with one screw-in (Mod) choke tube and a tube wrench. Sling swivels too.

As an aside, I've killed more game with that Mossberg than all of my other shotguns combined. Pigs, turkey, quail, dove, chukar, rabbit.... the thing is a workhorse. And when the scoped slug barrel is on, I really appreciate the safety location.
