Looking for a versatile shotgun...

[DArBad]

So I think I am set on a Winchester SXP Field 12 gauge chambered 3" with a 28" barrel... I like the look and I love the action. I do have to say I regret having my heart set on a firearm not made in the USA, but I think that is the only con I can find at the current moment.

Then the Mossberg 835 Ulti-Mag Duck Commander w/ Recoil Reduction System (Catalog #62151) 28 inch, w/Tru-Glo FO sights will be a good equivalent, INCLUDING it being a bonafide American made.

I'm a winchester nut, so the SX3 in 3.5 or the SXP in 3.5 are GTG!

Have you considered buying different barrels for your 870 ?

I don't see the value of buying a similar gun when barrel changes are easy and can be customized, included special sights.porting etc

My 2 cents

This!

You've already got a great pump gun. So what's wrong with it? Or if it's good for a few things but not all, then dedicate it to those things it does well and buy a more specialized gun to handle the remainder.

Personally, I'd spend the money for the barrel I needed for the 870 and then save my pennies for a nice semi auto...like a Benelli M2 which is a great all around workhorse semi auto.

Don't waste your money on the supernova. Get the standard model nova in barrel length of your choice and be done, ability to shoot 3 1/2s, reliable, feed interrupt button never used it but cool option.
