Remington 11-87. More versatile than the 1100 as it will handle varying weights of ammo better.

Shooting quail with a semi-auto is like drinking fine champagne out of a paper cup.

I undertsand. Quail is just one of the uses I will have for it. I want to use it as a deer gun back in Indiana, and do alot of clay shooting also. Is Stoeger made by Benelli?

I started shooting quail with a 12 semi-auto over my brittany. He looked at me in disgust. I got a 20 o/u and he thanked me.

I guess techincally it is but the Stoeger is made in Turkey by another company that Benelli owns.

The Stoeger doesn't have a barrel that is rated for slugs so don't know if it's the one for you. They do sell a Stoeger that comes with a smooth barrel and a rifled barrel but I think it costs more than $500. I think just under $600.

Hey I'm far from one to judge here. My comment was just in jest and good old fashion friendly broad sword style. Lord knows when it comes to my wingshooting I need every shell I can stuff up the spout!

But as a young'in I carried a "Light" 1100 20ga up and down a few mountains behind our English Setter for grouse.... and its a workout, especially as a 10 year old kid. If you can only have one gun, I suppose the Stoeger would fit the bill. It certainly is nice and lightweight, and its one of the only "cheap" (read: inexpensive) semi-autos on the new market that I'd recommend to someone.
