I’m getting a new shotgun this season and can’t hang with the real pricey stuff. These both seem pretty comparable and have pretty much what I’m looking for, which one would you recommend? I know the 870s quality is in question but don’t know much about the SXP. Thanks in advance

Jason

The sxp will have less recoil if it matters

Does it have to be new? You can find a used 870 from 15 years ago that would be perfect.

I’m not opposed to a used shotgun, just trying to get some opinions on the Winchester. I have a green light for a new shotgun and wanted to cover my bases. Thanks Matt.

What about the 870 made it a better gun for you?

it's just a better MADE gun ... i've killed turkeys with both, but the SXP had some issues that i had to get fixed (like going off when i shucked a shell into the chamber!) ... i don't have the SXP any longer, but i do still have my 870 ...
