So in the last two days I've bought a Mossberg 500 and Remington 870 Express Super Magnum. In addition to my Winchester Model 12, does this finally mean I'm done with pump shotguns? Are there any other ones that I should know about? I'm pretty sure I got a couple of good deals in there. All three are in good to excellent shape. In total I paid $600. Not to shabby in my opinion.
3 Most Common Pumps?

Great deal but did you get a 410?28?16?
Nope all of them are 12 gauge. Although I would enjoy a single barrel .410 someday. I just don't see much need for anything other than 12 gauge. I'm pretty surgical with them.
I'm not too sure about Ithaca's. For some reason they don't really say much to me. Maybe because I didn't grow up with them..... Who knows if a cheap one comes up tomorrow I may just buy it.
Yeah, but I figured the express would be close enough. I'm not rich enough to have one in every caliber and model.
You want to try 58 years? (1950).
Pump Shotguns
The first three examples of good,solid,venerable pumps that come to my mind are:
Remington 870 Wingmaster
Winchester Model 12
Ithaca Model 37
I have owned fine examples of these shotguns over the years and never been let down by any of them.
Cheers

Stuckon308, I was referring to the age range of an 870 that I would buy and am soon to be looking for. I am well aware they are older than that. I bought my first 870 in 1964 and they had been available for some time. I am just saying if I was going to get an 870 it would have to be about that old for me to be interested. Tough guns. My brother had a Model 12 Winnie that the mag tube would go out of round and was replaced twice that I know of. Got sold anyways. Shoulda kept my original 870. Oh well, lots out there.
On the ranges that I hang out at, there is only ONE choice for a pump 12 gauge!!

That's a beautful trio of 1897's you have there. I'd love to have just one of those fine pump guns.
