Which shotgun to get
Which shotgun to get
Well my shotgun went out on me again and I'm tired of putting money into it. So what are some good shotguns within a decent price range?

i shoot a winchester super x 3 that has been used hard and hasn't given me a bit of trouble in 3 years and i carry an 870 just in case. I dont think you could go wrong with either 1.

One that goes boom every time. I like my Nova. Older 870's can't be beat either.

Re: Which shotgun to get
Waterfowling only? Or needs to be more versatile? Pump, auto, etc.? If an auto and for waterfowl, find a nice used jap (invector) Auto-5 Mag-12 and your grandkids can send me a thank-you note in 60 years.
you did put in the plug, right?
Re: Which shotgun to get
Decent price range for you may be $2K or less, but may be $500 to me.
but in the grand scheme of things, guns are all personal preference. Find a gun that fits you. I'd start stopping in hunting stores all the time and picking them up. And then find out from friends / research if it is reliable.
Best thing would be to borrow friends guns to see how you shoot them. Gun may throw up great in the store but you may shoot it like crap.

Looking for 2 duck calls from Dominic Serio of Greenwood (ones for Novacaine)

I have been shooting a Browning Maxus this season. It has worked flawlessly.

Re: Which shotgun to get
I bought the super nova and so far have had no trouble dependable and easy to break down and little recoil

Mossberg 835 is a good gun. Always go with a pump action. They won't jam up win rought conditions.

Re: Which shotgun to get
I had an 835 that jammed more than any auto. And kicked like a mule. Life's too short to shoot mossturds.

Re: Which shotgun to get
I got a Stoeger 2000 last year and love it! Has performed flawlessly and has a nice price tag. I hunt with a few folks shooting Benelli SBE II's and one of their guns wouldn't fire for them the other day! I just kept on shooting. Haven't had any problems at all so far!
Re: Which shotgun to get
Picked up a Benelli SuperNova this year and I love it. I'm 6'2" and have long arms, and found that the adjustable stock shims Benelli includes with the SuperNova help it fit me better than the 870 I had before it.
Re: Which shotgun to get
I shoot a Stoeger M2000 and really like it also..
