Shoot the fire out of your new 870 Express, and enjoy it. You just bought off on one of the few quality bargains in the shooting world. They may not look real pretty, but they are stout, quality made shotguns. Just remember to keep that steel well oiled, as they are begging to rust. Enjoy your new shotgun.

I think the 870 vs. Mossy vs. 1300 debate will probably go on until one of the three quits producing shotguns. I've owned all three, and can honestly say that each one has advantages over the other. I always go back to the 870 because of my law enforcement experience with Remingtons. They seem to get smoother and more reliable, albeit ugly with age.
