RE: best shot gun
i know u guys wont aggree with me but.....
remi 870 express super mag.
im only 18 but i have shot a nova, wingmaster, beretta (dunno which model) and my great grandfathers Ithaca 12g pump <---- love that gun
i bought my 870 super mag combo a month or so ago and the only thing i found wrong with it so far is it dont like those super cheap winchester all purpose shells.
besides that, nothing wrong with it. i think its smooth as the wingmaster but definatley ugly compared to the wingmaster. i like the beretta but i like the pump better for some reason.....guess i just like the sound of pumpin it
. my dad has a nova and i like it except its heavier, makes more noise when pumped, and i dont like the look of the nova.
my 870 shoots great patterns, its lighter than nova (i do alot of rabbit hunting so i walk far), it was a combo that was cheap compared to others, dunno how to explain but, when i shoulder it, it goes to the exact same spot everytime and it makes it very easy for me to hit stuff. (shoot 46 outta 50 clays, only missed 1 rabbit outta about 9 or 10, actually hit my first grouse with it, and ive missed a few hard shots on crows)
it may not be another persons favourite but its mine cuz it works great with no problems and i can really hit stuff with it.

RE: best shot gun
Pretty vague question, but here is my vote/s. Let me first state that I am in fact a 12 gauge, semi-auto chauvinist.
Overall: Browning Auto-5 Magnum 12. Belgium or Japan I don't care, same gun.
Waterfowl: Browning Gold 3 1/2 12 ga. with 28" barrel in shadow grass.
Upland: Franchi AL-48 12 ga. with 26" barrel.
Turkey: Browning Gold 3 1/2" or Benelli SBE with 24" barrels and camo.
Crow/Early Waterfowl: Beretta Pintail (ES100), Franchi 612, or Weatherby SAS. All in 3" 12 ga. with 26" barrels and camo.
