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.

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

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

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. :jester:

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

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.

      Transmission Temperature Hitting 220s

      By DustMcGrath · Posted

      First of all sorry, I know there are a ton of transmission temperature threads...   My truck is a 2025 LZ0 High (10l89 10-speed) High Country with NHT max trailering package. The NHT package is supposed to have "enhanced cooling."   Normally the trans temp sits around 200. It seems like with any real stress it quickly jumps into the 220s (for example climbing a grade unloaded at lower speeds). I haven't towed much with this truck, but I'm concerned if it gets this hot unloaded.    I've tried a few different things to keep the temps down (tow/haul mode, sport mode, low range when that makes sense) and nothing seems to affect it.    I'm curious if others are the same behavior or if anyone has found techniques to keep the temps down. It seems like it just can't handle reduced airflow at lower speeds, even with relatively light loading.    Thanks!

      I'm at 105,000 miles on my baby Duramax. No issues yet. I hit 31 mpg's traveling through hilly terrain to a project in Colorado. I will buy another 3.0. I'm not concerned.

      Which 2027 engine will you choose?

      By cautious optimist · Posted

      I'm glad you have 14,000 trouble free miles. Frankly though, that's a really low bar. A bare minimum of 80,000 trouble free miles as the norm (rare exceptions always exist) across the whole model year should be a starting point. Good maintenance habits should push these past the 100,000 mile mark with only the most minor of issues. Let's hope GM truly leveled up the quality game with these new engines and exploding engines under 50,000 miles are gone.

      This is exactly the reason our EV has consumed so much of my driving. I don't want to fire up a cold diesel or gas engine just to drive 2 miles up to the store. It's arguably terrible for an engine. If I'm not driving at least 10 miles and don't need to do truck things, the truck stays parked.   Enter the EV. It's immediately heating or cooling the cabin as needed (heat pump). An engine doesn't need to warm up or be driven gently. I can tear off in it with ZERO guilt. Move the car 1/4 mile from store to store and not think "gee, I'm short-cycling a lukewarm engine".   It doesn't idle in a drive-through. Doesn't idle at stop lights. (OK, neither would the diesel, if I let stop-start have its way, but I don't).   Even moving it out of the garage to wash it... HA! It doesn't need to be started just to move 40 feet. I have cars that I will actually put in neutral and push (no start) in/out of the garage or shop if they absolutely HAVE to be moved. My nice Camaros.
