I have 2 870s. One is the black synthetic stock and the other is a wood stock. I bought both with two barrels as it was much cheaper than adding a barrel later (One for bird shot and the other for slugs) The shot barrels have screw in chokes so you can change them to be multi-purpose. On the slug barrels, one has open iron sights and the other is cantilevered for a scope. A nice leupold scope and that gun is very accurate. At 50 yards it is as good as my .308 and close to it at 100 yards. They are great guns and I've had no issues with them. I think that I like the black synthetic stock better as it seems to be less prone to scratching, etc.
