for whatever its worth for whoever started this thread, ive hunted for a few years with a few different guns. i started with a 3" 870 and hunted with many buddies with more expencive guns. ive seen the "better guns" (benilli, franchi, browning) leave them cussin up a storm while im still shooting with my budget gun. i shoot just as many as they do if not more with taking the "poor boy" route.

p.s. if you want i'll sell you a benelli. she works fine, just dont like it.
