Anybody bought one of the $200 autos from Walmart? The brand name was Hatfield if I remember correctly, but I have never hear of them. They had it in 12 and 20. Probably not the best gun ever made, but if at all reliable, that's a pretty good deal. Almost bought one, but wanted to check into them a little first. Initial reviews sound OK.

When it comes to buying a new shotgun, if you aren’t going to spend $600 and up then get a decent pump. You’ll be happier that way. If you looked around used you may come upon something worth buying in the $400 category.
Just because it's cheap, doesn't mean it's a good deal.

I bought a Stoeger M2000 in 2004(ish) for I think $325 NITB, that I've used exclusively in dove fields and duck sloughs every year since, to the neglect of several other guns that just stay in the safe. The first season it gave me some issues with light loads, with nary a problem since. It's probably got 5 coats of Krylon on it (finally got it figured out). I'll shoot it until I lose it. It has paid for itself time and time again.
