Need Shotgun

DuckDom said:

In need of a new or used shotgun for this upcoming waterfowl season I have been shooting a semi auto stoeger and liked it but the gun got lost. Looking for something fairly cheap to get me by this year but a decent gun and need opinions.

Budget would help.

I bought a stoeger m300 a couple years ago and I love it. Semi auto 12 gauge doesn't shoot 3 1/2 but I got mine for under 500 new at scheels

Time to do the pawn shop crawl, and keep a eye on Utah Guns.com

Weatherby sa-08 black synthetic for a semi or Winchester sxp for a pump. Both can be found under $500 and both if properly maintained will last you a very long time.

Any Winchester Shotgun should do you well. Used and discontinued models to the newer line of Super X pumps, you'll be fine. They're pretty cheap too. I think I saw a model 1200 at the used rack in cabelas not too long ago. Browning BPS shotguns are another model and brand I've shot and handled with some fondness.

Am I the only one who is curious about how a shotgun gets lost?? :?

Nope!
The Winchester SXP is the best bang for the buck right now in my opinion. Just don't lose it!

You know, I can understand losing your wife or kids...that makes sense...even to lose your mind but heaven's sakes ....lose your shotgun? :nono:

Franchi Affinity

.....or I have a Remington 11-87 3" I might consider selling that I haven't shot in a long time.

Even though I'm an 870 guy at heart, if I was looking for a new gun I'd go with a SXP if price was a factor or a BPS if I could drop a little more cash, or start looking around for a 870 Wingmaster in good shape.

If you wantba cheap jamming POS get a charles daly semi auto. I took one in trade for some landscaping. If you get one save yourself some trouble. Throw it in the mud on the way home.

be sure to write your name on this one

Semi auto required, or could you get by with a pump action shotgun?

Sx3. Best buy for budget semiauto.

Cal ranch has escorts semi autos for something like 300 i havent shot them at all but the guy said he loves his.

I'd stay away from the Escorts, everyone I know of that has had one has had some kind of trouble with theirs.

Autos or Pumps? or both? I have been looking at the Escort 20 ga. pump for my daughter. I just don't know enough about them.
