Easily the Beretta

The 1187 is the only one I have experience with and I say not that one.
The 1100 is the only remington autoloader I would consider.

I replaced my 1100 in the rotation with a new 1187 in 1987 when they first came out, cause it could shoot 3 inchers. I've never had ANY issues with it. Did the later ones come up with some problems,, seems like I've heard that before??

I know a couple people with fairly new ones and they lock up pretty often. They probably don't clean them like they should, but speaking strictly off what I've seen I wouldn't buy one. The new ones are atrociously heavy with crappy finishes anyway. The 1100s on the other hand seem to still be well made.

The Beretta and Remington are both $585 and the Mossberg is $477.
All of them are brand new.

I've heard stories about the newer 1187's actin' up, but I've put a bunch of shells through mine from 87 to 2011 when I switched to stoeger. 1187 still cycles like new, I just wanted a new shotgun with some pretty cameaux on it. 
eta: and a lighter one..

Probably go with the beretta
Posted on 2/17/14 at 6:20 pm to LouisianaChessie
Synthetic or wood?

I have had an 1187 for many years and have never had it hang up a single time...there are a couple of little gas ports and if you keep them clean, it will work fine...
fwiw, I have to admnit, the gun is heavy, so if you plan to do a lot of walking and little shooting, it may not be the gun for you....
my style of hunting is a boat ride to a duck blind where I hammer some ducks, so I like the fact that the weight keeps the recoil down...
ETA: I am in your local area, so if you want to try out my 1187, just let me know...

Where'd you find the Baretta For 585. It was more around 700 when I was looking. I ended up getting a stoeger m3000, because I didn't know anyone with the a300 and I had shot the stoeger several times. I had an issue out of the box but after sending it back, I haven't had a single problem.

This exactly for me as well.

$650 at Dick's with 10% off at the register, so about $585.

Like I said earlier, the people I know probably don't clean theirs like they should. They don't seem very well made though. The finish is no better than my 2008 870 express, which is horrible.

Beretta and it's not even close
Posted on 2/17/14 at 6:53 pm to Choirboy
I just want a good shotgun for all around hunting, especially turkey and waterfowl. You think it's a good buy?
Posted on 2/17/14 at 7:01 pm to SabiDojo
870
Posted on 2/17/14 at 7:01 pm to SabiDojo
Surely you jest. This is not even close.
Posted on 2/17/14 at 7:01 pm to SabiDojo
The A300 series from Beretta is as good as any ever made in my opinion. Get it and you will have a gun that works for a very long time.
