Mossberg Shockwave vs Remington Tac-14

I hope they import this one. Remington Tac-14 Hardwood.

Brobee, great youtube video.

With respect to the original post, the 590 is the only real choice. Reasons: 1. If the ejector breaks, replace it yourself. 870 requires a gunsmith. 2. 590 has twin extractors, 870 only one. 3. Ergos of the 590 regarding the controls is superior. Safety on top, true ambi not near the trigger guard. Slide release on the 590 is behind trigger guard, don't have to break your grip to activate it. Don't get me wrong, I have used 870's all my life and because of my muscle memory, I'm stuck using the platform. If your new to both, then the 590 is the only way to go. The biggest plus for the 590 shockwave over the Tac14 is that silly little strap on the fore stock. You don't want your fingers getting anywhere near the end of the barrel. Lots of videos on youtube of careless people losing a thumb or finger because they got to close to the danger end.

Hope this helps.

Agree, 590 all the way for me.
 
870 is and always will be top pump shotgun in my books. Mossberg is no slouch but I would take Remington any day of the week, twice on sunday.
