If you were dong competition I would say Remington 870, without a doubt. But since it is going to sit in the closet the majority of the time as a true HD gun, then pay less for a Mossberg 590 or 590-A1. 590-A1 is 18" heavy barrel pump gun, cylinder bore. It has ghost ring rear sight and front post with orange insert. The model I have has speed stock buttstock that holds four additional shells. I have also added side saddle with four. Dark parkerized finish disappears in the night. The gun is a 5+1, buttstock holds four and side saddle added of 4 for a total response of 14 shells. Too much you say. Well, so be it. I don't keep one in the chamber and I actually only keep two in buttstock to lighten the springs, so I'm packing 11 shots. I use #4 and #00 alternating in tube and side saddle. I keep two slugs in the buttstock in reserve.
