[QUOTE="B96brig4CC, post: 2074256, member: 7661"] I own a 500A with 20" barrel and full length mag tube which allows 7-2 3/4" shells or 8-2 1/2" shells. Dad has 870 with 18 1/2" barrel with mag tube extension and you get 6-7 without going to a longer tube extension that protrudes beyond the barrel. I think you have more options on accesories with the 870, but to add Ghost rings to his we had to drill and tap the rear of the reciever and glue the front over the front pin sight. Worked just fine, but my 500 is already drilled and tapped for either Ghost ring or picatinny rail. Mine has the Speed feed stock with pistol grip and it makes the safety hard to engage/disengage. I am actually thinking of going with a standard speed feed because of this. I like the them both and it really just comes down to what you plan to do to it. The one thing I wish was different about my 500 is the mag tube. I wish it was designed to accept extensions instead of the the way it comes. [/QUOTE]
