I don't know much about firearms honestly but it seems that the Mossbergs may be the best bet. I haven't compared price points but all across the board they have the lightest weights with the heaviest model tipping the scales at 7.25 pounds whereas the Remingtons average 7.5 and more. Also, depending on exact model the Mossbergs will hold up to 9 shells and the Remington only 8. I know these are minor issues so it's really a matter of personal choice, they're both great and it's a toss up, I guess price comparison is the real deciding factor.
