If you want something that never breaks, get an 870. I haven't played with the new "Field Master" but if nothing else look at a used Wingmaster. I have nothing clever to put here.

The 870 is tried and proven to be reliable, doubt you'll find more quality unless you mean more pretty. There comes a point liberalism has gone too far, we're past that point.

I like the nova but they are light that might not be a good thing. Find a wing master they are better quality get a 3 inch if you’re going after turkeys.

Never had a problem with it except the scratches on the stock and fore piece from many years in the field handling it and going thru the brush and briars. I guess another vote for it. www.jamesonsultrablend.com www.wildlifepestcontrolservices.com
