any of the pump guns work great...

FRANCHI SEMI AUTO BEST GUN FOR UNDER 600.00 THAT SHOOTS 2 3/4 AS WELLS 3 INCH SHELLS VERT DEPENDABLE GUN FOR THE MONEY.KILL EM BOYS.............

I started with a Mossberg 500 pump. You can shoot 2-3/4" or 3" shells. For under $200, it's is an EXCELLENT choice! I now use a Mossberg 935 semi-auto. You can shoot 3" or 3.5" shells. I prefer the 3.5" #2 Kent Fasteel shells just because I like to have the biggest round I can buy. The 935 is a great gun! I've never had it jam on me. A few weeks ago, I dropped it in the lake walking to my blind. I had to search around for it and found it in the mud. It was totally packed with mud. I thought my hunting day was over. I rinsed it out with lake water and it shot flawlessly all day long! So, don't let anybody tell you that auto's don't work when they're dirty.

I WILL STAND BY THE REMINGTON 1100 AUTOLOADER FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE!!!

Extrema - been through hell and back and keeps shootin'

Too bad they only make1100's in 2 3/4 now. The 11/87's are junk. Made to be more affordable, ergo, they suck. You get what you pay for. That's all I'm going to say.

remington 870 wingmaster 12... only gun you'll ever need.

Remington 870 Express, I got the synthetic style because it's retains it's looks alot better, no shine in the sun, and with all the water you encounter on a duck hunt it has lasted me a long time. It will shoot the 3'' and the 2 3/4'' it's light enough for dove and quail, and it has the punch to take down a duck, goose, or pheasant.

I also say the franchi I-12.

First off, it beats all those other autoloaders for waterfowl hunting because of the inertia system (stoeger and benelli apply as well) . Those other gas operated guns don't work well when wet or dirty, and the Inertia "driven" autoloaders are effected much less by these factors. Some say you can actually fire the inertia driven guns when soaked in water.

Remington 1100 can't be beat.
