I have 3 Benelli M2s and 4 Remington 870s. I like my 870s a lot. But, I shoot my M2s better. So, my M2s are my go to guns for bird hunting.
When I go on dove hunts and duck hunts, I want to bring a backup gun. The thing that worries me is that I will be leaving the backup gun in the car while I hunt. This means I run a risk of getting my gun stolen if my car is broken into.
So, do I take a $300 Remington 870 as the backup? Or, do I go with one of my $1200 M2s?
Insurance would cover a stolen gun out of my car. However, the deductible is $500. Would you risk it with the Benelli as a backup?
Bring an 870 and hide it well, if it's stolen it's the least expensive. Other option is to carry 2 guns?
take an 870 and you wont need a back up..

I wouldn't worry about either one. Shot for shot I bet the 870 breaks first.
I am certain a 1100 would break before a M1 or the SASS would be using Remingtons.

Point taken, but you can't compare an 870 to an 1100.
