What don’t you like about the benellis? I need a tactical shotgun and had just about decided on a supernovaI’m not a fan of the benelli pumps at all. The remington and mossberg are both plenty good. I have a mossberg I have hunted with since I got it at 12years old. I have a Revelation from my old man that is a rebranded Mossberg that some hardware stores sold in the 70’s that has hard use and still sends them although it looks like shit now.
Not sure about the pumps. But i love my benelli super eagle 2 for hunting. Wanting to get my hands on an M1014.I’m not a fan of the benelli pumps at all.

And if instructor is a duck hunter I can almost GUARANTEE he has also bragged about using it as a boat paddle.Took a shotgun course. The instructor had an 870 with 10's of thousands of rounds through it (i cant remember the exact number). Never been cleaned. Ran great- reliable.
You must be one of them "bolt gun shooters"I have to be honest that I also dispose the crossbar safeties that come of most non-over/under shotguns.
That being said, I never use a safety.

Slam it & Bam it.
From reading your post, and making the assumption that you no longer have the shotgun. If you do still own it, I would clean it real good. If cleaning it doesn’t work I’d look online on how to adjust the yolk.Have had nothing bit problems will never get another bottom eject again
Is that not the newer version without the removable barrel?+ one on a Ithaca Model 37.
Need some specs on that beauty...

My 590a1 came threaded for chokes from the factory. It's 20" as well.I'm in the Mossberg camp for the loading gate arrangement and excellent aftermarket support. But if you are going to 3 gun, buy a 835 turkey. Two reasons. One, The short barrel that accepts chokes from the factory. Two, It has 590 style mag tube, so you can easily extend it.
I bought a 590a1 20" and love it now, but had to pay a good chunk to get the barrel threaded for chokes. I went with Brilley and they needed to mill off my bayo lug . Maybe the 590a1 in 18.5" wouldn't have had the same issue.
Did you ever clean it?I had a benelli nova I bought for turkey hunting. Patterned it with different shells. Killed a few geese, and muskrat with it and raccoons. Took it out for a pheasant hunt, we started with a tower shoot ten spots around the tower bout ten birds per spot. Benelli started off good and once it got warm started having failure to feed and extract. To the point of holding onto the pump and slamming butt stock into the ground. Tried four different brands of shells and it did it with all of them. Sent it off to benelli they took it apart cleaned it shot it. Said nothing was wrong. When I got it back I took 25 of old nasty rusted shells that have been in the garage for years. It ate them all up. I do think something was wrong with the gun and they just didn’t want to admit it. I sold that gun and bought a Franchi Affinity 3 (yes I know cheaper m2) and love it.
Yes it was clean and lubed.Did you ever clean it?
I've had plenty of 870s and novas over the years. No mossbergs.
All of them eventually had issues loading and ejecting when they got dirty enough. Once you have to mortar the slide, clean em up a little and they're good for another 500 shells. You guys act like pumps are supposed to run forever without a good cleaning.
When did they start doing that? I Think mine is a '12 or so...My 590a1 came threaded for chokes from the factory. It's 20" as well.
I'm not sure when they started that. I bought mine in 2015. It has a metal trigger guard too. Some of them I've seen don't. I heard the 20" is harder to find because the police departments scooped a lot of those upWhen did they start doing that? I Think mine is a '12 or so...
Here is the model I bought. States Cylinder bore.
