the remmington 870 super mag or just magnum is a very nice gun its cheap and i havent ever had it jam, althought a little difficult to clean it is an excellent cheap gun im not sure if it comes in 12 gauge but i own a 20 gauge ,i have heard that the 20 gauge is the best peasant gun, it was on pheasants forever but the remming 870 super mag, 28 inch is what im looking into i have a 22 or 24, not sure but none the less very nice gun
