I like my semi auto, although when it is acting up I feel like I should be using a pump

When I was growing up, my old man would only let me hunt ducks with a single shot. said "It will teach you disciplin boy and it will save your ammo". Some 25 years later I took him out on a duck hunt....needless to say, he said the same damn thing, right after he said "I am gonna take that damn autoloading POS and throw it in the water if you dont start hitting anything."

I was having a rough day....the drive home was just as bad.

I have pumps, autos and over/unders. I voted over/under because they are simple.  I've never had problems while hunting with them.  Yeah I know only two shots, but at least its a consistent two shots.  no jams or cycling problems.

Full auto Saiga 12 with a 30 round drum Mag :o
But in the event I cant get away with using it I will shoot the Stoeger 2000 Semi-auto or if it isnt broken My Ruger.Then again 1 of my 870's are always a good choice.

my first shotgun was a bolt action 16 gauge with about a 90 inch barrel  :chuckle:  i hate that thing ... it had a junky three round clip and it kicked harder than any 12 gauge i've ever shot.... i'm a semi auto man... but you can't beat a benelli super nova..

The old Stevens pump, I've had it since I was 15 and will hopefully have it until I hand it down.  It's a 20ga 3" chamber and always reliable.  Get's ir done  :IBCOOL:

O/U hands down.  Easy, easy, cleaning.  Super reliable and tight.
