i feel strange coming into this everyone is listing off nice expensive shotguns and im shooting a mossberg lol

Hey, when you have freezing rain and/or lots of mud there may be no better gun than an old Mossberg.  Back when I was guiding I had three guys in a duck blind in one of the worst freezing rain storms I can remember.  The only birds up and flying were canvasbacks and I had about half my deek set as magnum Cbacks.  We'd bust a few they would fly around the bay and come back over and over and over.  After about an hour two of the guys shooting 1100's were taking turns with my .410 double since their guns would not function.  Meanwhile the one guy with a Mossberg was shooting double after double.  Once he limited it got passed around.  I bet those guys think quite highly of the Mossberg these days.
He asked, Do you ever give a short simple answer?  I replied, "Nope."

I have an old 3 1/2" remington 870 "Turkey" gun.
I love the simple-ness of the pump in the field. If anything goes wrong, I can completely take it down with just a broken twig.

Ruger Red Label 12 ga for upland and Browning BPS 12 ga for ducks/turkey. 

Occasially shoot an old Ithica model 37 featherlight too.  Like that gun.

Currently pack a Winchester SX3 12g
Great gun. I love mine, the only problem though is now my wife wants one too.

Yes, i really like mine.  I've put it to a serious test the last two years.  No matter how dirty it get's in the field it just keeps going.  Definitely a very reliable smooth shooter.  Love the coating on the stock too.  Never gets slick...

I've always shot my Dad's 870. This year I finally stepped up and bought a 11-87. It is the best shotgun I've shot and I was very surprised at how much better I shoot now. Only bad thing about it is the O-ring cracked after the first day. Put on an after market O-ring and never had any problems since.

1960's model Browning A-5 Light Twelve, 2-3/4".  If it's feathered and I can't kill it with that gun, I just don't need to hunt for it.

Benelli M2 20 ga. I bought it when I moved to Ellensburg a while back planning on getting into upland hunting. I've done some of it and love it but back on the west side I got back into ducks. I thought about upgrading to a 12ga but the 20 is getting it done so I'll stick with it!

I grew up shooting a Mossberg 835 now I'm shooting an old Winchester model 24 16ga for grouse and a stainless synthetic Ruger Redlabel 12ga for everything else.
