For clays or birds, I'll break out my Remington Sportsman 48 12 ga that I inherited from my uncle. Hunting and HD the Moss maverick 88 security model with top folding stock that is getting sold to a friend. But it will soon be replaced by a Moss 590a1 with ghost rings
I've never messed with any big dollar fancy shotguns, but I'm in love with the 870. It is a lovely shotgun. It's pretty, works when it needs to and hits like a freight train.
