Benelli or Remmington or Mossberg
 

which would be best for a begginer....Remington 870...Mossberg 500...Benelli Nova

RE: Benelli or Remmington or Mossberg
 

Or Mossberg 835...or anygun or a begginer

RE: Benelli or Remmington or Mossberg
 

Any of those would be a good choice, but I'm an 870 man and think for the money they are hard to beat, It depends on what you like and the one that fits you the best.

RE: Benelli or Remmington or Mossberg
 

I like my 870 , never owned a mossberg , and didn't care for the Benneli Nova .I have used all three and its really kind of a tossup in my opinion . Just a matter of personal preference .

RE: Benelli or Remmington or Mossberg
 

I have an 870 and like the Benelli but my favorite turkey gun is my 3.5 inch 12 gauge Browning BPS.

RE: Benelli or Remmington or Mossberg
 

I also have the Browning BPS,3" and love it.
As for the Mossberg,[:'(]you could not give me one,unless I had a sale already set.[:'(]peace of junk in my opinion.[:@][:@] ; JMHO [8D]

RE: Benelli or Remmington or Mossberg

RE: Benelli or Remmington or Mossberg
 

Well I already replied to your other post but I'll still give my vote.............


BENELLI NOVA :D

RE: Benelli or Remmington or Mossberg
 

Remington 870. Cant beat it

RE: Benelli or Remmington or Mossberg
 

When it comes to guns , picking the right gun is important to a person. As everyone owns something different and they are the best in the owners opinion, one should keep in mind the pro's and con's of the different makes and modles. Comferd is a point to one , and aswell as weight, something else one should think about is the action and how smooth it works. Noise is also in the same catagory, for the turkey hunter a fore arm that rattles can make for a short/unsuccessfull turkey hunt. Going to a dealer and going over the different guns out there maybe be a good idea. I have a 870 with a scope and it works great for me, but I would not say its the best for everyone. Pick out a gun that just suites you, keeping some important tips in mind...BT

RE: Benelli or Remmington or Mossberg
 

In production since the 1950s....can't be beat, the 870 Express.

RE: Benelli or Remmington or Mossberg
 

By a newbie, do you mean a kid? Although I'm a big Benelli fan (I LOVE my M1 Super 90!), I don't think I would recommend the Nova for a child, unless it was perhaps a 20 gauge. My girlfriend bought a 12 gauge Nova last year, and the frame on it was just too big and cumbersome for her to handle comfortably. As for Mossberg, I've got nothing good to say about them. Junk, in my opinion. I don't know how many of my acquaintences over the years have used the 870, but it has been a BUNCH! Although I've never owned one, I admire it greatly. It is a quality, workhorse of a hunting machine. I don't think you could go wrong with it.

RE: Benelli or Remmington or Mossberg
 

I too own an 870. Highly recomended

RE: Benelli or Remmington or Mossberg
 

Or avoid all three and check out the Baikal MP153 semi auto. Very affordable and versitile. Will handle 2.75 up to 3.5" loads. I can't say I've heard anything negative about these shotguns, they are not pretty, but very reliable.

RE: Benelli or Remmington or Mossberg
 

I agree with BT here.All these guns will kill turkeys as well as the next.Heck i've killed birds with an old J.C.Higgins to an old Winch breakdown sigle shot that kicked like a dang mule when I was a kid.Regardless of the name on the gun the key to a good one is becoming comfortable with it,which really comes from being familiar with your firearm.I personally shoot an Ithica Mag 10 and have for about the last 20 years huntin gobblers.If you ask me if I think its the best gun out there I'd tell you certainly not simply because the market offers many more user friendly firearms to the perspective turkey hunter.But with that said I know the the gun,its feel,its trigger pull,its recoil,its limits,,and as a result have bulit up enough confidence over the years by becoming familiar with my gun that I know when the hammer drops the hunt is over.To me this is the best gun out there and no its not for sale....:D
