I've never owned nor used a Rem 31, I'd like to find one.

I've owned all the other brands and all gave plenty of value and were good shotguns.

I have Model 12's, a 16 and 12 currently. They will always be my favorite.

I had one "other" brand and boy was it a hunk-a-junk.....
 
I've had many different pump guns over the years, and like most others, I like both the Win M12 and the Rem 870. But my favorite is the Win M1200, as I have used it the most, and is one of three pump guns I still have. The other two are Win M12s (12 and 20).
 
Say what you want,I have three Mossberg.two of them are pump shotguns an four shotguns in all.Guess that tell you where my heart is when it comes to shotguns.

I believe that the Remington 870 is the most reliable and rugged pump shotgun ever made. But when it comes to trap shooting there is no pump that comes close to the feel and balance of the Winchester Model 12.
 
I started on an 870 in 1958 and used one for 10 years before I shot a Model 12. I really like the Model 12 but I always short stroked it; therefore, I went back to the 870 and it has been my favorite forever. I have owned and tried Mossberg and Ithaca 37 but the 870 wins the day
 
I've owned several shotguns over the years, but none now. The Remington 870 was my favorite, followed closely by the Mossberg 500.
 
The 500 is the only pump-action I've used, so my vote is hardly well informed, but it's been a good trap shooter for me.
 
I like the M37 because it is as slick as a M12 and a lot lighter to carry. There is nothing wrong with a M870 but I just like the M37 the best. I'm not sure which of the 3 would shoot the most shells before it died. Larry
 
Wow, the results, so far, of the poll really suprised me. I thought for sure the "Perfect Repeater" Win. Mod.12 would be way out in the lead.

It is for me, anyway.
