I'll "+1" this. While I've done very little waterfowl hunting, my original Benelli Nova served me well across several seasons of dove and other hunting excursions. My brother still has it as a loaner for anyone that goes out with him but doesn't own a shotgun. I know the 870 is much like a 1911 in that there's a lot of nostalgia and memories associated with them, but for hunting I feel like the Benelli would be a better choice.

Did you just unintentionally start a 1911 debate in a shotgun thread?

Gosh I hope not. Probably a bad comparison, just meant to say that there's nothing wrong with the 870 but there are other options in that price range.
