Looking to get a new shotgun for next season, what does everyone recommend? I am wanting to stay under $800. I have been looking at the Franchi I-12 and the Stoeger Model 2000, really wanting to stay with the semi-auto. Anyone have any advise on these two or any other good suggestions?

Super X3

My x3 cleared the 800 pretty easy. Not heard anything bad about those two some talk about the beretta at wlamart cant remember the model. I have seen some remaining x2 out there for around 800. I would take a x2 over any of the others mentioned. I guess the 3" x3 maybe $800 didnt think about that.

Out of those two I would go with the I-12. But for $50 more you could get an X-3 3''. You should also check out the Beretta A-390.

I can sell you a SX-3 3" for 995 plus tax. SX-3 3.5" for 1095.00 and the SX-3 3.5" in MODB for 1250.00 plus tax. But If you just have to stay under 800 you won't get much in a semi auto except maybe the Stoger or some of the lesser name brands like the Tri-Star.

Used super-x2, or my favorite: Mag-12 A-5 with invector chokes, can find good used ones for 500-600

Is the same gun as the H&R excel. I got my excel for 325 that's with tax and camo. They are good guns!

Saw a Beretta A-390 at the Columbus Walmart with a $557 price tag on it.

I have had my M2000 for several years now and love it. Never failed me. Best $375 I have ever spent on a shotgun. It looks like crap as I have abused it, but it keeps on shooting and has NEVER jammed on me.

I recommend shooting a Pump. Get a BPS and Be done with it

Ive got a never been shot ducks unlimited tri-star in classifieds for $300.

that would be a great gun!

Thanks for all the help guys! Whats everyones opinion on the gas vs inertia system?
I also am looking for a cheap but good and reliable 20 guage semi-auto for the wife, probably would have to get the youth model any suggestions on that?

Bought mine the Weatherby SA-08 youth 20 guage.. Has about 3-4 boxes of shells thru it now.. Nice little gun so far.
