870 Super mag. If you look around there are a few models with Advantage Wetland finishes. Just try them all, I always tell people to go with the 870 because they're virtually the same gun as there 3" guns. That and, well, its an 870! I guess I have a couple friends who wanted something different so they went and got themselves Nova's. One loved it and has it to this day. The other absolutely hated it because of the way the forearm was. There is alot of play in it, and it is alot different from most pumps, but I think its just fine. The BPS is fine too. Now if you're a smaller fella like me it can be a trick to kick out those 3.5"s because my arms don't exactly reach way out, and there forearm is cut into a bit so shells can pass through until my palm gets in the way. That and I had a fun time attempting to extract a stuck spent shell in the chamber without being able to reach the shell. Believe it or not, its frustrating when something like that happens and the shooting SHOULD be good. No matter what gun your shooting! Either way, it tends to affect a mans beliefs as to how a specific firearms operates! Don't know much about the Stoegers or Charles Dalys. I'm sure there alright though. I saw a couple of the Charles Dalys at Wal-Mart for cheaper than a camo Mossberg 835. The 835's are one of the best pattering pumps out there in my experiance. Hope I helped narrow your choices?!? Oh well try them all
