Well I have owned a Mossberg, it was a Model 500. I owned it for a few years and then I had to have a Remington. I have now owned Remington's for about 25 years. I have an 870 Express Magnum 12 gauge with vent rib, I also have the 870 Wingmaster Magnum 12 gauge with vent rib and full choke (this one is before choke tubes) and I have a Remington Model 1100 12 gauge with vent rib and full choke, another old one. But if you saw my firearm selection you would know that I am a Remington guy. Don't get me wrong I have other brands, but Remington have been my favorite.
