Default new semi auto?

hello, i am considering about buying a new semi-auto.. any suggestions? i am on a kinda low budget. but i ll be open to any suggestions, thanks! I was looking at the mossberg 935, mainly because i am a left hand shooter, and the safety on that is top tang. that would help me alot.

i was also looking at stoeger.. i will be hunting just about everything... pheasants, rabbits, turkeys, ducks, geese, chukars, even deer if i can change the barrels. i have a mossberg 500 pump.. i love it. the best pump action gun i ve ever had hands down.. over 1,500 shots, and not one problem thus far.

Perfect,i hunt everything with my 2000,squirrel,rabbit,deer,turkey.I haven't seen a aftermarket barrel for a stoeger 2000.Use buckshot or rifled slugs,00 buck is good to about 40 yards,slugs are much better at longer range.

what kind of slugs do u like to use? i like the lightfield ones. how accurate are the slugs w/o the rifled barrels? * sorry if i am asking too much questions, i like to ask someone with experience wit hthe products.

Well,i hunt with 00 buck for hunting in thick areas,i'v never shot slugs,i know their better at long range.I hunt with a scoped 243 for long range.I patterned with Winchester super x 3'' 00 buck at 40 yards with the full choke,it will keep all 15 pellets in a 12''circle.Your gun may prefer something different,even though they are the same gun.

ohh okay, with the mossberg 500, i used a different barrel.. it was rifled and had a scope with it, could hit pretty accurate with slugs out to 100.. anythin further than that, i use a .25-06.. i ve never used buckshot. hows the kick on that?
