need a new shotgun, dove to geese
I have decided I want to get a semi auto 12ga. I grew up hunting whitewing but have not hunted much else birdwise, plan on waterfowl, upland, geese and turkey. I have a handful of shotguns but no semi autos. Was planning on trading in my 870 Magnum for a semi auto, preferrably a Remington 1100/1187 since I have all the chokes including a TruGlo turkey choke, but doesn't have to be.
Any suggestions on a decent, reliable, not too pricey semi? I kow I can get a smoking deal on an older gun at my local shop (got my buddy a nice Browning Lite 12 for $300) but many older ones are 2 3/4" only and some do not take choke tubes. Like to keep it under $500 and have no problem with used. |
Buy used then !
One of the three B's; Browning, Beretta & Benilli. Browning's don't wear out, they wear in !!! |
not opposed to used at all, generally prefer it in fact?

Beretta 390

In that price range I would go with the Mossberg 930 or Stoeger 2000.

i agree with vadeerkiller mossburg shotguns take a beating and keep going

Since you have all the choke tubes I'd go 1187. There extremely durable shotguns I love mine. I mainly use two shotguns out of the 10 I own. They are a Remington 870 and 1187. Browning and beretta shotguns are nice but I still like the 1187 better. I also prefer to buy used so if your ok with it find one I got my 1187 premier used at a pawnshop for 300 out the door.

If you get an older gun make sure you get a steel shot barrel or you won't be shooting waterfowl, unless you want to hunt with only the pricier Bismuth or one of the Tungsten alloy shells.
|
If it won't take steel shot it won't take Tungsten and Bismuth. They're too hard also.
