Great advice from all above. would like to add something base on my hunting experience.
I think it depends on how much shooting you will be doing.
870 is a great gun. Remington auto's (1100/ 11-87) tend to break parts when shooting a lot.
I used to have a remington 12 ga 1100 special purpose. Nice looking gun with all synthetic stocks and extended magasine.
I had to have extra extractors and other small parts with me on long hunts.
I used it for doves in the summer and ducks in the winter.
Shot min a case to a case min. each hunt. And we hunted every other weekend. After couple of years parts started breaking every 1000-1500 shots.
switched to a Beretta AL390 Silver Mallard. never broke anything.
For an auto if you are planing to shoot a lot I would recomend a Benelli or Beretta.
JMHO.
