I shoot my late grandfather's Belgian made Browning A5 and noticed a small crack in the stock where it connects to the rest of the gun. I want to be able to put it up and preserve it. So I'm looking to get a new Shotgun to duck hunt with for Christmas.

Any recommendations? Places to look? I'm looking for 3 1/2" inch. Preferably camo and would like to keep it in the $500-$600 range at the most.

Thanks for any help.

Pump or semi-auto? For that price range look look at the Benelli Nova or 870. If you don't want a pump check out Stoeger

My people have always been browning fanatics. I have two gold hunters, which have treated me well.
But I bought a Baretta Extrma2, camo edition with a kickoff. Sweet shooting gun. Would recomend it to anyone

Benelli Super Nova. Mine was $500 and it shoots 3 1/2" and it's camo. But it's a pump.

Not gonna be many good semi autos in that price range that shoot 3-1/2


I plan on upgrading my older beretta next year for an a400

Remington 11-87. $575.00. Only problem it doesn't come in camo or at least it didn't last April when i bought mine. However, you can have it hydro-wrapped for $50-$80

Yeah forgot to mention, but I do want semi auto. Thanks for all the suggestions. I haven't thought of getting it wrapped. I'll keep that in mind.

I've been shooting the SBE 3 most of the season, the guy that I bring hunting the majority of the time has an extra one. Pretty sweet, but I'm not dropping 1500 on a semi I'm bringing to the coastline. I went back with my 887 Rem, which is like the Nova this past few hunts and she is making it rain ducks.
