Wanting to buy new shotgun
« on: November 05, 2009, 01:51:05 PM »
I would like to get a new waterfowl gun but where is a good place to go around here or is the internet better? I want to buy a quality gun that wont break the bank. Very good quality and durability. Any one have any ideas where to look or anything about any?

I would try to get a good one and spend a little extra.  The total price tag can be a little rough, but if your never going to get rid of it.  Then it's a small price to pay.  Get one that is comfortable and throws to the shoulder nice.  Esentially get the one that fits you best.  Good semi-autos are the Benelli, Beretta, Winchesters.  Good pumps are the Benelli Nova, Remington 870 Express & Wing Master and possibly the new Remington.  Check them all out.  Good luck.

Browning  :chuckle:,  or then like h2o said in semi the novas are pretty good for the money and them dang 870's just go forever for very little $, in semi's bennelli or beretta, and Browning..

Jordano has an 870.. But I would stay away from the 887. It feels like a toy.

I have a Nova, nice gun but the forend rattles a lot when it is on a sling, quite annoying in the turkey woods...  Has a feature to be able to eject only the shell in the chamber and not the rest, nice if you want to quick swap in a goose round.

The most important thing is fit.  You can buy the most expensive, cream of the crop scattergun but if it doesn't fit you right, it will be nothing but headaches for you.  I am a Rem guy, but I have shot one of those Beretta Xtrema 2 semis, and I was highly impressed.  Good luck and let us know what you get and how you like it!

If you dont want to break the bank you cant go wrong with an 870, the nova and bps both cost significantly more, if youre goin semiauto most can be had for around the same price when it comes to reputable brands

Agree and Disagree, very, very good deals can be had second hand if your not set on just one, i bought a BPS stalker used for 250.00 not long ago from a pawn shop.. and i have seen alot of novas and 870's out there..

wow! thank you all for all the input! I have an 870 express right now and it has not held up well at all.. yet my dad has a wingmaster he has had for 25 years and it looks better than my 5 year old gun.. I am looking at the Rem 887 nitro mag in advantage max-4 or the stoeger pump in advantage max-4. I am looking for a pump not a semi though.
