Need Help!
 

What is the best shotgun in your opinion for under $600? I want an automatic but dont want a piece of junk. Either pump or auto would probably work. I'd be hunting ducks and geese and maybe turkey a few times.

Can't go wrong with the Remington 870 or Mossy 500. As for autos, try the Stoeger 2000 or the Franchi I-12. Maybe even an 11-87 like what I got.

Benelli Nova. Easiest gun to clean after a nasty day in the field. I've not had any problems other than having to tighten an action rod once. Works great now. Shoots so smooth.

pumps: Benelli Nova, or Browning BPS

autos: for your price ranged used Remington 1100, or if you can find one 1187, or you can get a new Mossberg 935, i have a few huntign partners that have shot them with no complaints

I have a remington 453 and its been a great gun for me...

you cant go wrong with the ol cannoe paddel in my eyes (870) but the bps is also an awesome gun i have both but i lean to the 870 more for duck and goose hunting. and in my eyes if your going to buy one you might as well go big or go home but something like the super black eagle2 or a super x 3 but thats just what id do

You can pick up a Rem 11-87 at Gander Mt for right at 600.00 you can shoot it for about 10,000 rounds and then give it to your grandchildren.

I am suprised no one has mentioned the Mossberg 930/935.

RE: Need Help!
 

i got an 870 and like it alot. you could look into maybe getting a used automatic if your looking to stay under 600

RE: Need Help!
 

cant go wrong with a 870 or a winchester 1600. mossberg in my honest opinion will make a backup or maybe a hm hm... varmint gun.

I bought a sx3 over the summer. 3 1/2 chamber After I bought it I started to regret spending that much money on a gun. But now after hunting with it over winter I have no regrets. You will not find a good semi-auto for 600 unless you go with a used one. My hunting partner shoots a Browning Gold Hunter that gun feels like it is 2 to 3 times more heavier than my sx3. Infact after he shot my gun a little bitand nowhe is going buy a sx3.

I've had my Rem 870 for 10 years now and probably put more then 40 or 50 thousand rounds through it realistically and I have never had a problem with it. I love that gun. it's been put through hell (left in the rain, dropped in the slough, banged around in a canoe, etc)and still works great and you can still pick one up new around here for under $400...

Remington 870 super mag if you want to shoot 3 1/2inch for geese and turkeys. I have an 870 mag and super mag and only thing that I have ever had to do is replace the extractor in the super mag and that was after I have shot it for six years. Can't beat the performance for the price. I also recommend getting the synthetic stock depending on how hard you hunt. It hides scratches and knicks alot better then wood and does not glare.
