I have an 887 and I like it. I use it for geese and ducks, and well, you can't make something more dead than dead. So far it has shouldered nicely, fed shells and thrown shells when I've wanted it to, and hasn't given me any problems.
Yes the stock is pretty cheap and the recoil pad is nothing to scream home about, however it's better than a thin piece of vinyl. It does help some. The stock, well, not much you can do about that. I didn't want wood and got what I wanted.
As far as looks go, it definitely stands out in a crowd. It's beefier but not heavy. For the purists out there that like the classic 870 look, it's not for you.
Anyways, that's my 2 cents. I like it, it kills winged critters effectively, can handle heavier loads, can handle low brass shells without jamming, is reasonably priced, looks different than most other guns, shoulders nicely, and is not for everyone.
