New 12gauge :)

[Dirtautoguy]

I'm thinking about buying a new 12 gauge. I preferably like it to be able to shoot 2 3/4 to 3 1/2" shells. I was looking at the remington 887 nitro mag but I'm seeing it has some bad reviews, I have never shot one. I have shot a benelli and I really liked it what are your guys thoughts?

 

I have about $400 max to spend on one

I've had a remington 870 super mag and i now have a mosseberg 835. Both great shotguns, and will take 3 1/2" shells. Remington is a little easier to break down and clean.

I have a Beretta 391 Extrema that is awesome.

 

I wouldn't buy a new one. Shotguns are pretty simple and rugged as hell.

Buy used and save a few bucks.

My 887 shoots fine.

870 here and love it.

I like my Remington 1187.

887's are ok but no reason to get one when you can get a new 870 dirt cheap... just get an 870 or moss 500

I like my Remington 1187.

great gun, but the versa max is even better

[MTPoleKat]

Benelli Super Black Eagle or Super Black Eagle II hands down one of the best shotguns made

[doverarjim]

I am looking for a Remington CTi, it is out of production because it did not sell very well. I FFL had one when I was out of town and he sold it real quick for $750.00 which I thought was a fair price for it, but I don't need it now so I will wait to find a good deal on it.

Get a used 870 they are already broken in and are very smooth and can be gotten for very cheap

I've got an 870 and love it. versatile, cheap and really rugged.

I use an 1187 Super-Mag for duck hunting and it is great. Bought mine new on gunbroker but they can usually be found used for $400-$500

[Dirtautoguy]

I like the used idea. I am looking at a mossberg 535, or remington 870 super mag. Personally I like wood stocks better but I have nothing against synthetic either.

I also have an 870 12 gauge slug gun for deer hunting and an 870 youth model 20 gauge that is my snake charmer and they are great guns. It is hard to go wrong with a remington product imo.
