Gun Question
I am looking for a shotgun that I can use for upland birds/turkeys, and one that I can also use for deer.
Either a 12/20 ga. and I am looking to spend under $700. Does anyone have any suggestions?
Any info would help, thanks!

RE: Gun Question
depends if you want auto, pump, or o/u...There are many choices in both pump and auto. The most reliable and close to the cheapest would be a Remington 870 deer/field combo. Semi Auto is going to be more expensive but less recoil and a little more maintenance required (cleaning). I too am lokoing for a new shotgun for waterfowl and deer hunting. I think I am going to go with the 870 and get a good recoil pad to cut down on the recoil.

RE: Gun Question
There are two models of 870, the Express and Wingmaster. The Express tends to rust if you don't good care of it. Personally, I would stick to the more expensive Wingmaster. I do own a Express and without knowingit rusted rather quickly while being stored away.

RE: Gun Question
Take a look at the Beretta 390's. Wal Mart has these in a black matte/composite with a 28" barrel for about $525. I've had one fora whileand use it for grouse/woodcock, pheasant, ducks, turkeys, deer, skeet, trap, an sporting clays. Very reliable, soft shooting, and easy to clean. Have thousands of rounds through mine, and has never, ever failed.
