Need Help/Opinions Choosing a Gun??

[BIGJ]

I have had a Browning BPS for 15 years. Its a great gun for sure.

Nova hands down the toughest gun there is you can sinkit under water everyday of the season and it wont rust.I hunt in a very old cyprus swamp and a pond thats a natural spring and the mud is thick.Ive used that gun for a walking stick and plenty other uses.Its never jammed or rusted,The only time it failed was during last years freeze the entire gun froze two mornings in a row.Had to stick the guts in my shirt till they defrosted.Worked fine after that.Hands down the nova is the toughest most reliable shot gun on the market.

i honestly would love a browning bps...they are just a little bit outta my price range....for the one i would get they want about 800-850 bucks.....i cna get a SBE for that price....im tryin to stay under or at 500 which is hard to do anytime your looking at guns....my extreema hasnt only been used for 2 years, my daddy gave it to me and i used it for 2 seasons....i wish i knew somebody that had more info on the stoeger.....its cosmetics are the same as the nova....i just wanted to know how it did performance wise...ima go to jims in baton rouge this weekend and try and see if i cant shoot a couple of them....i really fell in love with that 887 but about 50% of the reviews i've seen are bad...and that worrys me...then u have 50% of them that would swear by the gun and say its the best gun they've ever shot.....i dunno i appreciate the help though....

Buddy of mine bought the stoeger about a year ago and has no complaints yet. I've shot it and it seems to be a nice gun and fit really well(which to me is more important than price or name brand).

Only thing to happen is the little piece for your finger to pull the bolt back with fell out.......prolly his fault though.

I have never shot one of those, but seems like a sweet little auto for a very good price.

U must be getting a deal on SBE2. I paid $1600 for mine in max 4. I-12 doesn't shoot 3 1/2" I don't believe.
