looking for a "duck hunting" gun

[wytex]

870 3". Put a sling on it.

I was in the Army with an old boy from Thibodaux, La that told me he used a twice barrel shoot gun fo dem duks.

[WyoBull]

My Beretta Extrema (first release), has never let me down. Shot from the lightest dove loads through the heaviest 3 1/2 inch magnum shells.
I don't shoot it much since I mostly use my 28 gauge now but if you are looking for a workhorse, they definitely fit the bill.

If you want to buy a Benelli semi auto, drop down to the Montefeltro. It will shoot 2 3/4 or 3" shells and has same inertia driven design as a SBE. It should be in the 900.00 range, sometimes a little less if you search around. I Shoot a Berreta 390 and it is great for skeet, doves and ducks and have killed a few geese with it. Have probably put 15,000 + rounds through it without issue.

My beretta a300 has killed hundreds of birds for me over the last 5 or so years without ever failing once. Can't say the same for the other guys shooting the higher dollar guns in the blind.

It's only limitation is it maxes at 3". but that has always been plenty for me.

I love my A300. Have had zero issues with it. Would buy it again tomorrow.

I don’t Hunt geese so the 3” chamber does not bother me, and I’ll prolly switch to a steel alternative after I run thru my inventory so it matters even less

Thanks time to start tracking one down. local shop has SBE, fabarms, a stoeger m3000, remington b3 and a weatherby element wf. the last three obviously being the "cheaper" of the selections. anyone have any experience with those 3? i"ve heard the stoeger is decent

V3 is actually a pretty good gun. Problem is it's a Remington, it never took off, and since they've gone bankrupt, resale is nothing. In the event you do have a problem, who knows what will happen. I'd pass on that one myself. The other 2 cheap ones I've no experience with. The Fabarms are well made guns. I've shot a couple of them and if it wasn't for the goofy bolt release button on the left side, would look into one. My dad hunts with one, no issues. Remember to make sure whatever you get actually fits you. Plenty of folks spend $2000 on a fancy gun then can't hit a thing, while the guy next to them with a $200 maverick is slaying them.

Of those I'd be more likely in that stoeger

He needs an M2 if he wants synthetic stock. To be honest the M1 and m2 is proabably the 2 best guns benelli has and ever will make.

Stoeger. Owned by Benelli and uses the Benelli action. Made in the USA and half the price of a Benelli.

I like the Benelli super nova. It is a pump but I dont want to take an expensive shotgun duck hunting.

[Honker]

So tell me why i should spend the money and cry once.

Because you will never wear out a Benelli and your great grandkids will shoot this gun some day. Life is short...buy a Benelli.

[npe001]

Shop around for a 390 and by all means pass any 400 dollar ones this way

If you want new, a300, weatherby sa8 or something in the franchi line if you dont want to drop 1700. I personally cant stand the action on anything that rhymes with benelli

Don't listen to Shane, he sold me a Beretta and now I hate my Benelli. This guy will ruin guns for you!
