Auto loader recomendations
« on: April 14, 2011, 03:04:50 PM »
Looking at getting an semi auto and trying to keep it on the cheap side for now.
(12GA that will shoot 3 1/2" shells)
Any recomendations on a decent auto loader under $500.

Dont want a brick, I have one of those and now looking for some thing lighter weight.

You should be able to find a Benelli Supernova around $500.

Supernova is still a pump I believe... Pete, I had a thread about this a little while back that had some good suggestions. I will see if I can find the link to it.

Under 5 bills, charles daly maximag or a mossberg 935.
Or hit the pawn shops (by phone even) and see whats sitting on there shelves?
To hunt and butcher an animal is to recognize that meat is not some abstract form of protein that springs into existence tightly wrapped in cellophane and styrofoam.

Weatherby makes an auto that I think you can find for five bills.  I have been looking at the youth 20 gauge for my daughter.  SA-08 is the model.

I would look at a used Remington 11-87 over Weatherby or Mossberg  :twocents:

I have one and have put 1000's of rounds ( light 8's to buck shot)  through it no problem. Most of the trap and skeet guys like the 11-87's and 1100's based upon my conversations

Here you go Pete:

You can pick up a 3" 11-87 for around 50-75 dollars cheaper.

All the guys I know that had to have 3.5" guns have never shot a 3.5" shell.
None of them.

Stoeger 2000. I used one for a month a couple years ago. Basically the same inertia action as the SBE but for much less money.
