New shotgun

[cajunman7925]

In the market for a new shotgun what should I get?

[LPfishnTIM]

price range?

[cajunman7925]

Dont really have one

[Dink]

I picked up a Remington waterfowl edition friday for $500a on sale and no tax. I hunt the marsh, so didn't want an auto

[LPfishnTIM]

I like overunders which can be pricey, but can have two different chokes which is one advantage over a pump or semiauto and I like a mossberg 935 waterfowl edition, that just me the mossberg will last a long time and its not too expensive. I'm not a remington fan but the 870 is one dependable and affordable pump. I might buy a new overunder before duck season starts but my mossberg 500 is still kickin and knockn dem down soo, I might save my money.

extrema 2 if price is no option

[huntin fool]

Pump - Benelli Super Nova
Auto- Benelli Super Vinci, or Super Black Eagle II or Exterma II (Which ever of 3 fit you best)

[bjhooper82]

Extrema II or Benelli SBE II or Super Vinci thats my top 3

[fishaholic82]

Super Vinci hands down! As soon as I have an extra $1600 I'll be buying one. Intertia drive and extremely easy and quick to tear down to clean makes it my top choice.

[wtretrievers]

What ever fits you!!!! Look & feel all of them! Don't pick up the 1st & say thats it just because that's what my buddy shoots, being accurate is all about being comfortable. Check for accessories like shims to lengthen or shorten length of pull, shims to change comb angle, alot of the new guns are coming with these.

X2......

[longsidelandry]

BPS!!!!

[evidrine]

Im a big mossberg fan. Just feels right. Thats what it will come down to in the end.

[simplepeddler]

I think on the information provided.....I would go Krieghof or Perazzi.
The Bosis is nice too.

[Dink]

Some of y'all got some deep pockets!!!

[Hopedale Hustler]

Super nova or 870 supermag if your going with a pump...I'd go with a super black eagle II if u got the money cause it's the best of the best...but if u want a affordable semi auto that are great guns look at the stoeger model 2000 or mossberg 935 both are great guns

[Kenner18]

There is only one gun to buy... Browning Maxus..
I wouldnt shoot anything else period.

[jldsc]

If you know someone with the remington versa-max, go shoot it..Im hardcore berretta but was very impressed with the versa-max after shooting and my dad bought one also..not sure on how long they will take duck hunting abuse but pretty sweet gun..be me extrema II

[noodle creek]

I guided 59 days last year. i've seen just about every gun on the market, and if you want a pump the 870 and nova's are about the same, both being good. From first hand experience on automatics, i would not buy a benelli ever. 50% of the ones i get in my blind do not work right, and thats saying a lot, being that the benelli's are very popular. The extrema's seem to be much better guns, along with browning maxus and browning silver. The winchester super x3's are also good guns. this is just what i have seen first hand having guided 59 days a year each of the last 2 seasons

Stoeger recently came out with an auto that shoots 3.5" shells...i believe it is called the b3500. Plus they are interia operated like a Benelli. Matter of fact stoeger is owned by the same company as Benelli....gun sells for around 700 bucks.

With a benelli you want to make sure the bolt is all the forward. Also, once loaded do not activate the switch on the side....i have shot a SBE since 2004 & average 30-40 days hunting a year with no issues.....sounds like you take lot of those high $ sports out which are clueless..

[Hopedale Hustler]

Ya benelli is the best in my eyes hands down...gotta take care of it..but who wouldn't take care of a 1500 dollar investment

[Slidellkid]

I had a Benelli and now own an SX3. I liked the Benelli, but I really like this SX3, its about as sweet and soft shooting as they come. Very reliable.

I have heard several good things about these guns....if I would not get a benelli, the sx3 would be my choice!

[bjhooper82]

A buddy of mine got a Browning Maxus last year just before teal season. Great gun but within 3 hunts the camo dura touch was peeling off already. We brought it to G&H in Gueydan and the guy there said it was because he had off on his hands and that caused it to peel.

I can believe that. Off will screw up a paint job for sure.

[Nasty]

I've seen "Off " mess up a few camo paint jobs... Win SX3, SBE II, Nova etc...
wtretrievers... You got your camo paint business running yet? I'll send you my shotgun.

[noodle creek]

yeah i shoot the SX3 and treat it like crap. keeps on working. i do have to say the original super black eagles and older benellis seem to have been better

[MikeinSlagle]

Ive been shooting a Benelli Nova for years, older model before the Super Nova. I mostly wade hunt and it is always exposed to mud and water. It has never failed to shoot or cycle. A little oil in the action will do. A friend I used to hunt with used a Mossberg pump (exact model I dont know) and I remember it failing to fire and cycle twice in once season. The Nova kicks something fierce though.

I just cant be won over on Mossberg. Ive only had limited experience with them and just dont like em.

Ive never been able to drop the money for an autoloader, but for waterfowling I would have to go with an inertia driven. And the Benellis are easy to disassemle. They may not cycle the lighter loads for doves and such, but thats not a problem in a duck blind. No personal experience though. The new Remington may be good, I love the old 1100s, but they have something like 7 ports in em I think. Seems like that would be too easy to foul.

Benelli, Beretta, Stoeger are all made by the same peeps. But Im sure the cheaper ones are to lower standards. After all Ford and Aston Martin used to be made by the same folks. HA

In the end its all what you like and what works for you.

[BIGJ]

I just bought a Browning Silver and like it alot. Smoked some doves with it this weekend.

extrema 2 if price is no optionIf price is no option

The winchester super x3's are also good guns. If price is somewhat an option.

[fishin]

Binelli SBE II has had some problems. I know of three people that have had to send them off to get fixed due to cycling problems. Father in-law is a guide and he purchased an SBE II last year. Used it once and tried to sell it to me! My reccomendation would be the birretta xtrema II. I've heard nothing but great things about it and as soon as I have the money I'll be getting one myself.

[BigChaf]

I have waterfowl, dove, quail hunted all my life, shot every shot gun there is to shoot at one time or another and by far the best gun I have ever owned is the Baretta Extrema, I shoot the the Extrema 1, but there is a Extrema 2 with the camo skin. You can shoot 3 1/2 inch mag in the morning, case the gun, go to the skeet range in the afternoon and shoot low brass 7 1/2 and not havt to make any changes to the gun. Hunted in rain, sleet and snow with no malfunctions and remember Baretta owns Beneli. Good Luck

[Keith_Stone]

I've had the Extrema 2 since it came out. I use it for everything, ducks, doves, and sporting clay tournaments. Never had one problem with it. We hunt in rice fields and salt water reserves gun still in perfect condition. Dropped it in flooded timber one time fished it up and kept hunting no problems.

I like that.

[BigChaf]

Man, thats a nice looking gun, wow, might have to have one!!!!!!

[speck-chaser]

Well, Ive been shooting a Benellie sb eagle for about 10 yrs now,and have never had problems with it. About the only time it doesnt cycle is if I shoot 1oz. or less of shot. Not enough enertia I guess. Smoothe as silk shooting,less kick,and extra boner(hanging the extra shell);)

Put 200 rounds through two new Beretta 3901s today. A 20 gauge for my son and a 12 for me. Both performed flawlessly.
