ok boys and girls, i'm looking into buying a 12 guage... any suggestions?
not looking to spend more than 3 or 4 hundred.
my buddy has an 870 express but i have read mixed reviews online about their machining not being quite as good as the wingmaster and causing some reloading issues.
just curious if there are any other guns i should be looking at in that price range?
experiences with 870 expresses?

I have an older 870 that has always been smooth as silk and would cycle anything you put in it without issue. I also have a newer 870 Super Magnum that will jam when trying to cycle the fired shell out if I use anything other then Remington ammo. My newest 12 guage is a Remington SPR-453 semi auto also known as the Baikal MP-153. It is a Russian made gun that Remington imported in and put their name on. They can be had for less then $400 new and will cycle anything I feed it smoothly. The fit and finish is not the greatest but the gun is built very well and is the best priced auto loader on the market.

New 870s are definitely worse than older 870s.
Mossy 500s/590s are still good new.
What do you want to use it for? Hunting? Defense? 3 gun?

I dont hunt at all myself, but my girlfriends family has a a couple hundred acres in southeast ohio so it's definitely not out of the picture entirely. at some point i may go out and try to get a deer.
at this point i mainly want one to shoot clays with, maybe mess around and shoot rabbits around home.
