Id go with the new 870. I have one and wouldnt trade it for anything. Sky's the limit when it comes to accesories for an 870 20ga. Tons of different stocks on the market and theres more 20 ga rem turkey chokes on the market than any other thread style in 20 ga. Get the 870 and some Fed HW #7s and you wont be carrying your 12ga much anymore.
