I have started shooting pistol and carbine matches locally.  I would really like to get into shotguns.  I have a Rem 870 express I use for dove hunting.  Last night I was at Sportsman Warehouse and looked at a Rem 870 Marine Model.  Now I have already decided my tactical shotgun will be a Rem 870.  My question is the Marine Model worth the extra money you pay for it?  The 870 HD went for about $280, while the Marine sells for about $500.

Not unless you need a higher level of corrosion resistance. If you are puting it on your boat or something then maybe. Otherwise, the HD will do fine.

+1. Go with the HD. Pretty hard to beat one.

Thanks for advice.

I like mine (pictured below) but if I did it again I would do it differently.  I'd probably buy one or comission one built straight from VangComp.
