Buying a new Gun
 
I am looking for a new goose/turkey gun. i am only 16 and can only afford $300. i am looking at a mossburg 835 ultri-mag. If you have any suggestions for some guns it would be great.

Thanks

870 express super mag......It will run you just a little more than the mossbergh but i think it is worth it. I was trying to choose between both of those and a Binnelli Nova. I chose the 870 because it felt a lot more solid to me and the Nova was way out of my price range. I would go hold some guns and see which one feels best to you.

I'll second the 870. Best gun you can get in that price range IMO

You can find the 870 black syntheticsuper mag on sale for under $300. Don't buy a wood stock.I would definately go with the super mag, in case you want to shoot 3 1/2 inch shells. This is the perfect waterfowl gun. It will kill just as many ducks as a $1000 Benelli, I guarantee you. Go with the 26 inch barrel and an IC choke. A 28 inch barrel will be okay, but the 26 is bestfor steel.

i shoot a benelli nova 3/12 inch pump with a 28 inch barrel. It was $346 like 2 years ago. Its a great gun for the price, its easy to clean and take apart in the field also. Last weekend i got a pebble in my action which wouldnt let me close the chamber. I toook it apart and was shooting again in the matter of 45 seconds.

Another vote for the tried and true 870!!!

Plus you can use it as an oar if you want, it's a tuff gun.;)
