I do not own one but know some guys in the local goose pits that have them.  Postiives are the coating.  Negatives are many.  Of course that is because it is being compared to the original 870 Wingmaster Magnum.   Old habits are hard to break I guess.  Plus I don't think Remington builds the quality they once did.  The 870 express was definitely a down grade from the old Wingmaster. 

Of these super mag pumps.... the Mossberg 835 , the Rem 887, the  Rem 870 express, or the Benelli Nova..... I would go with the Nova.

Rgr that Semp.   Thanks.   My duck/goose bud Ryan was looking into getting one.  He just got a new boat and his wife told him to hold off on the new gun till next year  :laf:

I have the 870 express, and also the super mag express.  I purchased my original 870 20 some years ago when I got out of basic trainning and its still shootin and killing except out of Dylans hands instead of mine.

thanks again.
