HH, I just shot the 887 yesterday, real smooth. Feels like an 870. Real fast on the pumping action. This is my next choice.

i have shot both the nova and the 887 and both are very nice. I like the feel of the benelli better but they were very similar in weight and recoil the nova just fit me better. I have heard good things about the stoeger but have never held one so i dont have an opinion on it. I say just go to a gun store and look at em in person but i dont think you can go wrtong with any of those choices

I know you didn't mention this gun but I have been shooting a Browning BPS for right at 10 years now. I use it for ducks, deer, dove and skeet shooting. I really like how it ejects the shells out the bottom so there's no hitting anyone in the face with empty casings when you eject. I absolutely love this gun and will be getting another one if this one ever craps out on me. Whatever kind of gun you get, make sure to get the 28" barrel.

HH the 887 is a sweet gun, packs a little heavier punch than the 870 IMO, but i was shooting turkey load in it

my uncle got an 887 last year for duck season and may be getting rid of it before this season due to it being a hunk of junk, has had many problems with it not firing(tried changing shells, bringing to gunsmith, and he keeps this gun thoroughly cleaned) also has shells hang up quite often

and my only problems have been 2 broken ejector pins. Used, they are going for $700-$800 which is a bargan. You can also push a fourth shell with the SBE 1. |

Nova hands down the toughest gun there is you can sinkit under water everyday of the season and it wont rust.I hunt in a very old cyprus swamp and a pond thats a natural spring and the mud is thick.Ive used that gun for a walking stick and plenty other uses.Its never jammed or rusted,The only time it failed was during last years freeze the entire gun froze two mornings in a row.Had to stick the guts in my shirt till they defrosted.Worked fine after that.Hands down the nova is the toughest most reliable shot gun on the market.

I put mine through hell and back duck hunting in the delta and always having it strapped to the rack of my 4wheeler while deer hunting. It's also sat under water for a couple days when Rita hit. I may buy me another one before next hunting season just to have a newer gun.

the remington 870 wingmaster is another fine pumpgun, too bad they cut corners with the 870 express mags/887. build a top notch gun and people will buy it. i still like my browning's forged and machined parts better. |
