@Ackad I do know that there was a whole fiasco with Remington because of Marlin who made lever action repeater rifles, they got bought out by Remington, who was going to fire the staff at Marlin and take things over themselves, and after that transition there's rumor that the Marlin staff sabotaged the calibration of the equipment used to for the Marlin rifles, so there's videos of people upset with Remington over their Marlin models and just as upset about Remington trying to hide the issue and not doing much to help people who buy defective Marlin rifles.
I don't know, I don't have an 870, but I thought they were known to be pretty reliable. As long as you're not buying a Marlin lever action repeater you should be fine I think.
Also, I think the Mossberg should be a fine weapon to. When I said cheap I meant strictly affordable, from what I've seen I believe their pretty reliable too, but by cheap I meant economic. And again they sound great, do some YouTube searches to all the customization people do to their Mossberg 500s.
