Which shotgun to get

[mcchoctaw2005]

Here's another vote for the nova. Solid gun that can handle the conditions.

870 or Browning gold

Fist off, what do you mean it went "out" on you again? What are you shooting now?

A 870 is the best all around gun for the money and that's a fact!

BPS...The 870 is a great gun but the BPS is alot smoother for the money. I also shoot a 1959 Browning A5 and love it

I don't have an 870 but it seems the past couple of years there have been a lot of complaints regarding the gun not being quite as reliable as the older models.

I will attest that the 870 remington is not made like it used to be.
I've had 3 of them manufactured after 1998 and they were all hunks of garbage.

problems:
gun jammed (yes a pump shotgun can/will jam)
fell into peices (self explanatory...you go to shuck a shell and the gun falls all to peices in your hands like a peice of cardboard)

oh....and before you guys say anything...this happend to all 3 of mine and several other people i know.

also.... just personal preference, but i like automatic for duck hunting.

With many great guns out there to choose from the most important thing is to find the one that fits you the best. In an automatic i personally prefer a Browning over the competition, in a pump i like a Remington. Right now i have 3.5 gold and a 870 supermag. The gold is the one of the sweetest shooting guns i have ever laid hands on but i could use the 870 for an anchor if i needed to and i think it would still go boom! Good luck and i hope this helps.
