870. Hands down the toughest and most reliable gun to ever be taken duck hunting. All of the high end "B" guns will fail within a couple years if they are not meticulously taken care of. An 870 will go boom every time you pull the trigger no matter the conditions. The newer 870's are not nearly as good as the older ones. You can pick up an older one at a pawn shop for under $300 almost anywhere. They are worth every penny.
Come on dude. I own an old 870 and while it is a great pump the newer "B's" are still better than the 870. You don't need to handle them "meticulously". Just normal cleaning and they will last you several years. Have had my brownie maxus for about 5 years through pretty harsh duck hunting

My old man actually shot out an early 80's 870 wingmaster. Many many many ducks fell to it. Now it will only feed shells if you point it up, one of the little spring bars in the side of the receiver is worn slap out and won't let the shells come out the tube. I'm sure if you replaced those bars it would work like new again.
Wingmasters, BPS, nova, etc are all fine duck guns for a guy like me. I only shoot 2 3/4" shells and I don't shoot a whole lot. Those guys shooting 3.5's boxes at a time really need an auto for soaking up some recoil and if you don't mind spending the money, they're great.
