Like I said my dad has had no problems with it and it will get the job done. Nothing fancy. I think it is just the most common one because Academy carries them. Like Steve said the H&R might be an option also but I personally would just buy a Mossberg 500 as my starting point but they are not in the budget as you said. My brother has the 500 and my dad has a Maverick 88. They both prefer the 500 over the 88 but I think reliability is probably similar just fit and finish and maybe where they are assembled are the differences.

EDIT: And they both like my 870 better!

Here is what I am getting in a few weeks. My better half said I can get it as long as she can shoot it! http://www.remington.com/products/firea ... ct-jr.aspx

It has an even smaller stock and is lighter then a youth 20 but I can still hold it.

870. The standard.

You won't get any disagreement from me! I can't wait to get another in the coming weeks.

Also, they can be hard to find at times if I remember correctly. Academy is the one that always has them but they are so cheap people buy them as soon as they put them out on the shelf. Just like the 870 youth 20, the run out quick!

That's two for the Maverick, do I hear three? There cheap but great!

This might get moved to rifle and shotgun but a Mossberg Maverick is the cheapest 12 gauge new that I have shot and it seems cheaper then even a Mossberg or Remington but worked great and cycled a round every time. I think my father payed 120 at the time new. Academy says 159 on their website. Gun was cheap but he has put over 200 rounds through it with no problems so far. Also, nothing wrong with a good used shotgun!
