If you're in East Wenatchee Hooked on Toys, High Mountain Hunting, One shot, and Bi-mart all have good guns.

I just got a Benelli SBE II from High Mountain.  I ordered a 12/26 and they got me a 12/28.  A little pissed about that, but I kept it.  I only went with a 26" barrel to reduce front end weight, but the benelli 28" is lighter up front than my 26" SX2 so its a win for me in the end.

but for those who dont have the money, there are great values out there..plus not everyone needs a gun that nice for how much they hunt.. like I hunt with a  mossberg maverick model 88, probably the cheapest pump shotgun you can buy!

The way I figure it, if your gonna buy a gun.... why not save a little longer and buy the best. I personally own 2 SBE's and 2 SBE II's. I also own remingtons, Mossbergs, Brownings, and a Beretta. But I only hunt with my SBE's. Yes, you can say I believe they are bar none, the best! Thats just my  :twocents:

Don't forget to keep in mind the amount shooting you may do with gun you choose. If you plan on shooting it for more than hunting, ie: trap, skeet, or sporting clays, save a little more money and get a gun that can handle the numbers you may plan to put through it.

Went to Cabela's in Lacey and they had the 887 Nitro Mag in the camo. I shouldered it and talked with the guy and it felt awesome! it is lighter than my 870 express with a 26" barrel and the 887 has a 28" barrel. it felt amazing. Think I am going with this one when the price was $449. Dont think you can really beat that.

ya I am very fortuneate! I think part of the payment on it will be a Christmas Present from mom and dad, since a poor college kid doesnt have a whole lot of mulah haha but I am thinking this gun will last me a long, long time compared to my 870 express that looks like it is 25 years old and really worn instead of 5 years old... very dissappointed in it.

I hunt a ton every year. I shoot probably close to 50 ducks a year and as many geese as possible so a little bit more money and a better investment is something I could really use.
