870 and BPS both have steel receivers, Mossy is aluminum. I'd go with a Wingmaster or the BPS. The bottom feed of the BPS is different to say the least especially when shooting skeet and trap, not a big deal for hunting. I used an Ithica Model 37 for years for hunting and skeet, works fine, kicks too much now, it weighs 6-1/2 lbs. Not bad for quail hunting, 100 rounds of skeet works you over. You might also find a used 1100 gun in the 500.00 range but it'll be fixed choke unless you get really lucky. I got one a few years ago with a 28" mod. bbl, had it reamed to IC, heck of a gun for birds and skeet, and what little 5 stand I shoot.
