I recommend something in the Mossberg 500 line- you can dress them up to be tacticool with enough attachments that you cannot lift it, and at a fairly reasonable price. That being said, I like plain old wood- because if you have no ammo, you need a club.
I like plain old wood because if you ever do have to use the gun, it looks more like grampa's shotgun to a jury, and less like something that would cause Chuck Schumer to sh!t himself.

Based on my personal experience, a wood stock on a 870 can break easily near the metal receiver when you butt stoke some&^% with it, it is hollowed/drilled out for a long bolt that starts at rear of stock behind the butt plate.

Agreed. We have a Mossberg 500 tactical and its a great weapon. You cannot go wrong with one.
IMO, the best one I have seen is the Remington Nitromag tactical. Hands down. It’s a tried and true platform.
My 2nd choice would be the Mossberg 500 choice with the integrated light.
