Beginners Shotgun
This will be my first year to hunt waterfowl. I am looking for a new shotgun to use. I have been looking at the Stoger M2000 or the Franchalli. Any opinions on them...
I am after an Camo, autoloading 26" barrell. Upto $750 Any segestions woulud be great

I bought a Benelli M2 last year and have absolutely ZERO complaints about it. While it's going to be above your price range, it is well worth the money knowing that you're getting a gun that will (if properly maintained) be shooting for many many years. The SBE can shoot a 3 and 1/2" shell, the M2 cannot. That it the only difference. 28" barrel in camo finish....loving it.

To each their own. I would recommend to a beginner to buy a cheap pump shotgun. Pumps are super reliable and considerably cheaper than automatics. You will learn something about the beating that a waterfowl gun gets when hunting waterfowl (you did say you were a beginner, right?), and after this you may more carefully consider whether you want a more expensive, more complicated shotgun in the marsh or in the duck boat.
