RE: recommendations of automatic shotguns?
You're asking for allot in that price range.I agree a Remington 1100 or 11-87. I might suggest looking for a Browning Auto 5. They were discontinued a few years back.Either way you'll have to come up with more money .I would stay away from the Charles Daily. Not long ago was a post about their customer service and not honoring the warranty.I wouldn't give them my business.
Ruger Redhawk
