For that price no. Say you got a 200 dollar rock island or a Chinese shotgun or a used turk. I say it’s a toss up if they work out of the box. I had nothing but issues. My current shotguns are my cva 20 gauge, rem 870, moss 590a1, and vepr12. For the money you spent just make sure you can trust her and use it when you need it.Did I just screw myself?
Why settle for just one? I have both the R870 and M590A1. Both work just fine. I have had numerous models of both over the years and they all have worked fine.Wanted to throw my two cents in. From experience, I regret buying my 870 Express. My brother went for the Mossberg 500, and having shot both, I think it's easily the superior shotgun for the price point.

I have my dad's Wingmaster; probably about the same age as yours. It's a nice gun. I don't really care for newer 870sI have a really old 870 Wingmaster...
Always good advice. I have two.pick up a Winchester Model 12
If you like the 870 pick up a Winchester Model 12. I have both and there is no comparison in quality. The 870 is a '73 vintage and the 12 is a early 50's. Hold a Model 12 vertical and push the slide release. It will fall open. Always amazed me.
You and my mom. She left me 3 of 'em.I have a deep love for Winchester 1300 Defenders...
What exactly is different between an Academy 870 and a gun shop 870?
