+1 for the Maverick. Maybe its not as heavy duty as the 870 but for most HD situations mine has served well. They are economical and reliable.

If you are right handed, you might try out the Mossberg Maverick 88. Pretty much the same as the 500 but with a safety on the trigger guard. $169 everyday from Academy. I had no problems with mine. Sold it because I bought a semi-auto.
