In your opinion what is the best shot gun?

Whatcha tryin' to do, start a fight??? LOL

For me, they are:

Semi-Auto: Benelli Super Black Eagle
Pump: Remington 870 Wingmaster (not the cheapo Express)
Over/Under: Franchi Veloce
Side/Side: No experience with.
Single Shot: No experience with.

I'll play

Semi-auto= Benelli M-1
Pump = Benelli Nova
O/U = Franchii Alcione (Benelli Sub)
sxs = Ithaca
Single Shot = NEF

Justification
1.) SA Benelli M-1 will do everything a SBE will except the 3.5" shells. I don't goose hunt so all other app's the 3"mag is more than enough. If I need 3.5, see #2

2.) Benelli Nova is darn near indistructable. Heard stories of guys dropping them in the lake duck hunting, pulling them out, checking the barrel and firing w/o a problem. Will shoot the 3.5 if necessary.

3.) I like the alcione b/c you can get interchangable barrels w/o sending in for headspacing. I just ordered a set of 20ga barrels for mine. Also, all three listed use the same choke tubes! Big plus!

4.) My uncle has one and it's a sweet shooter. Personally, I'm not a big sxs fan, but this one is nice.

5.) I don't have one yet, but will when I get into turkey hunting. I have the ultra in .223 and can send in for a 10 or 12ga barrel. Have to send in the gun, but NBD on that. Will problebly get a .243 and .308 as well when I do.

For a pump either one of the mossbergs or a benelli nova will hold up to almost anything you can put it through.

Auto, The A-5 is the best ever made, bar none.
Pump, The Model 12 just as in autos with the A-5 the Model 12 has no compitition.

Yes i'm trying to start a fight

I'm very pleased with my Remington 870 Wingmaster. It certainly gets the job done. There are fancier models out there, but it's tough to beat an old classic.

I’ve had my Beretta Semi-Auto for years and have never had a problem with it..I would also say the Remington 870 Wingmaster or Express would be among the top reliable shotguns.o

Browning Citori O/U in my eyes.

Yea citori, if u have a 2 thousand $ to spend.
