Default RE: What Type of Shotgun?

ORIGINAL: tk587

I am looking into purchasing a new shotgun for deer hunting and would like to buy used. Does anyone have any input as to why brand/model I should look into or is anyone selling one?
In order to help we need some more information. Will you be hunting deer with slugs or buckshot? If using buckshot then get a 12GA. If you will be using slugs then a 20GA is more than enough. Also some states specifically state "Smooth Bore" while others allow use of "Rifled Barrel". Where are you located? Will you be using the gun just for deer or other game as well? For what you pay for a used gun you could go to WalMart® or Big5® & buy a new Mossberg®, Remington®, or Winchester® pump.

Give us some more information & all the guys & gals here will try to help you. Regards.....
