The 31 is a "finer" gun but not necessarily a "better" gun. The 870 is more versatile, easier to clean and maintain, and there are lots of parts and accessories readily available. If I become the one-pumpgun-hillbilly that BB refers to, it will be with one of my 870s.

MIKE THE BEAR Unregistered	Love my chunk-a-chunka model 12s. Learned to shoot by practicing Skeet with my cousin's 12ga with a Cutts. Ran my first 25 with a WS-1 that I'd borrowed. Now have several, including a solid rib WS-1 with a Cutts. They don't get any more classic than that. Love my doubles, but if I had to feed the family, The Model 12 would win out.
