not looking to spend more than 3 or 4 hundred.
my buddy has an 870 express but i have read mixed reviews online about their machining not being quite as good as the wingmaster and causing some reloading issues.
just curious if there are any other guns i should be looking at in that price range?
experiences with 870 expresses?

New 870s are definitely worse than older 870s.
Mossy 500s/590s are still good new.
What do you want to use it for? Hunting? Defense? 3 gun?

I dont hunt at all myself, but my girlfriends family has a a couple hundred acres in southeast ohio so it's definitely not out of the picture entirely. at some point i may go out and try to get a deer.
at this point i mainly want one to shoot clays with, maybe mess around and shoot rabbits around home.

I might also mention that my freinds 870 was jamming but the guy using it might have just been short stroking. You want a pump or semi? Out of your price range but I have heard great things about Benelli's 'SuperNovas' but come in at about $500..I am very happy with my mossberg 590a1, the 500/590 are a bit cheeper then the a1.
On a side note: I noticed on some of my Remington slugs that the slug is loose inside the hull...is this safe to shoot? I assume it is but just want to be sure..
BOUNCEHOUSE420:
i have an interstate arms / hawk/ norinco 982 12g pump and i love it. its a Chinese copy of the 870 but from what i have seen they are higher quality than the new 870s. i picked it over the mossberg because it came with ghost ring sights and the safety isn't in a retarded location like the 500. never had a single issue with it. the only thing ive done is strip it and clean out the factory "lube" and re lube it with frog lube its super smooth now.
