Remington 870 without a doubt. They just never break. Ever!
I have nothing clever to put here.

Winchester Model 21. It may have rivals in the looks department. But there is none stronger or more reliable. This one's a 2 3/4" 12 gauge Field Model choked full & improved cylinder. It's 89 years old and runs like a Swiss watch. Tight as a flicker's nest, as well.

I like my 870 police 20 inch had the barrel threaded for rem-chokes
I also like my M500 with 20 inch vent rib barrel and Morgan pad because it is lighter to carry all day you wouldn't think one pound would make that much difference in weight
a M37 set up right is mighty hard to beat also
If I could have any of them with a 20 inch barrel , vent rib and screw in chokes any of the 3 I could live with the rest of my life
the 870 offers the option of adding a mag tube extension , that adds more weight yet. but if you need more rounds
honestly a Win 1200 with the same 20 inch vent rib screw in chokes would suit me just fine also.
so solid pump gun with a 20 inch vent rib and chokes that is what fits my use
America only has one issue, we have a Responsibility crisis and everything else stems from it.

Winchester Model 12. I have over two dozen of them. Been shooting them for over 57 years. The oldest is a 1919 two barrel set, the newest is a 1972 Y Model Skeet. In all those years and thousands of rounds, hunting, trap, skeet, and sporting clays I have only broken one firing pin. Pretty reliable I'ld say. Yup,,Winchester Model 12 gets my vote.
the wheels of the gods turn very slowly

I say beretta 391 xtrema 2, consistent, reliable and ugly, just like myself. What say you? What is the best shotgun ever made? If you could only have one shotty What do you take? I've got an old 390. Ugly an abused but still eats any ammo you feed it.

160user...the OLD models of the Remington 870...newer models got CHEAP. How old you talking, 45 years? I would guess he meant the "pre-express" era. The old ones with the silver lifters were finished smoother than the later ones.
I have nothing clever to put here.
