Handle both, buy whichever feels better in your hands. That is the most important thing to me with a shotgun. If it doesn't feel right, you will never shoot it well.

I beg to differ.

$325 or so should buy you a Benelli Nova (i know, a bit over $300). Great action and dead effing reliable. Bonus is it takes 3 1/2". These guns are so far beyond what Remington and others offer it's shameful. Yes I know the soldier of fortune types give these things a bad rep. as they generally gravitate towards ***** products but this is an exception and a BIG one at that. Simply nothing better for the money.

Pay up for camo if you can swing it; gun maintenance becomes a thing of the past.

Std. 870's are hideous to look at and the action is NOT as nice as a Nova. The wingmaster (which i have in 20ga) is a sweet little gun that brings a smile to my face every time i pick it up. More form than function but a great gun just the same.

there is absolutely nothing 'quality' about the finish on an Express.

I've seen better wood used for wheel chocks and Hillary could file her bunions with the metal finish.

Well, like I said, under $300.00. But you're right, a lot of gun for just a little more money. My sister shoots a Benelli and raves about it.

More Ithaca porn....

nice looking gun for sure! the gun on your link above surely has some sweet looking wood on it too.

another very nice pump if you like nice blued metal is the BPS. such a good looking receiver even in the non-engraved version. had a 28ga that was oh so nice but i found the Wingmaster to be a slightly quicker and more reliable (my fault, not the gun) action.
