New Semi-Auto
 

Looking to upgrade from my 835 to a decent semi-auto shotgun. Anyone have any recomendations or one for sale? I have a ruger 10/22 and a martin compound bow that i could trade for it. Any help is appreciated

how much you want for that 10/22 ?

what price range are you looking at?

That's the 1st question that needs to be answered!!!!!!!
I have bought auto's from $300 to $1600.

Most likely no more than 800 if I can sell everything I have or work a trade with someone

Good luck finding a good auto (new or slightly used) especially one that shoots 3-1/2" shells these days for 800 bucks........

The franchi's are pretty good

stoegers are good too but both of these only shoot 3" if that matters to you.. also try pawn shops

I heard alot of trash talk about Charles Daly guns, I bought a youth 20 ga auto about 10 years ago for the boys $300 new.......that damn thing has been used & abused I'm scared to say how many cases have been shot through it shooting trap. It has never failed to fire. Boys have even killed a couple turkeys, ducks & a deer with it. The ejector tab or finger tab to manually eject a shell broke last year, it was probably due to the chamber slamming shut thousands of times, I'd say metal fatigue, anyway I called Charles Daly & had one a week later at no charge.

Probably 90% of auto problems is due to poor cleaning, 1st thing that is done when we finish shooting is all guns are broken down & thourghly cleaned before being stored.

11 87s are about 800, haven't heard much on the big green's shotgun quality lately.

well i sold a few things and saved up my moneyand now have a budget or about 1500 dollars. I like the way the benelli guns feel in my hands but i cant decide between the vinci and the sbe2. Also willing to look at other options any advice or opinions are appreciated

The Vinci only has a 3" chamber, last time I checked. Just depends on if you want the 3 1/2" or not. If so you need the SBE...

you cant go wrong with benelli

i never shoot 3 1/2" but it kinda seems like it would be nice to have just incase but im not sure on that one yet

I have a Browning Gold Hunter 3.5" with the Shadow Grass Duratouch finish in excellent condition. I will sell it for $800

I have to look at that gun when i go to bass pro this weekend to see if i like it. I see you just bought a sbe2 whats the reason for switching from the gold to the sbe2?

I shoot a sbe 2 it's a great gun. I was talking to a guide who said he bought a Vinci and didn't even shoot it a whole season

I bought a Beretta Urika 2 back in the spring for around $1100 new. Academy has the Browning silver hunter around the $800-$900 range.

If u gonna spend over $1k on a shotgun, gotta go Benelli. Lightest, fastest, easy to clean, and very balanced. Beretta is a good gun but very bulky. Browning weighs a ton.

not the maxus...
