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. Was born in a Big City Will die in the Country OK with that! Jerry Herbst

Bob Jameson trapper B Joined: Dec 2006 SW Pa	The 870 Pump was my first shotgun 12 ga. It has been the best shotgun of all and my go too. Still use it. Got it when I was 12 yrs. old. 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
