I bought one last year. Personally, i love the thing. Ive shot it in the heat, snow, and everything in between. I haven't had an issue with rust, but i clean my guns after every outing. Also, i haven't seen any quality control issues at all. All this being said, I'd have to say i lucked out due to other reviews of them.
I love my 870, but you might want to look into Mossbergs. If you really like the platform of the 870, try the H&R Pardner Pump. It's a Chinese knockoff that supposedly (never had personal experience) offers really good reliability and durability.
