If it were me I would buy 870 no question. Its going to get that wear from you shooting it whether you like it or not. My buddy has an 870 and its reliability is unparalleled, even after shooting extremely dirty "dragons breath" and all kinds of crazy specialty loads through it. He's never cleaned it once since owning it for about year or so. Its like the AK of pump shotguns. $347 for the 870 tactical model is a good deal from what I have seen but so is $319 for the Mossberg tactical. Go with whatever tickles your fancy the most and feels good when shouldered.
