Help Me Choose My First Shotgun
Posted on 11/28/20 at 6:17 pm

Been duck hunting only a few times. Really want to start going regularly. Past times I’ve used an old Model 1100 that was my grandfather’s. I noticed that it locked up likely due to the cold weather while hunting.
Friends and family that duck hunt recommended brands: Remington, Benelli, Beretta, and Winchester
Obviously since I don’t hunt that often I don’t need the best shotgun ever made but I do want something that is reliable and that will last. I also would prefer to get it in camo.
Would appreciate any recommendations or tips for when I’m searching. Thanks OB!

I have a Winchester 12ga that’s solid. I don’t think any new shotgun will be a problem.

Stoegers can be had for a good price and they are a good gun
Made by Benelli as are franchis
Franchis are a little higher but not as high as a Benelli

It’s an old pump model not made anymore. Model 120 I bought used. Not an expensive one. Very solidly built. That’s why I think any of the offerings from the major brands will be fine.

Savage has an auto shotgun which is pretty damn good, the Reneguage.

I would recommend the Benelli M2. They are nice guns for the price. I shoot a SB3 but you may not want to spend that much on your first duck gun.

Where you located? I'm looking to sell a Benelli Montefeltro 12 gauge (black), if you're interested.

How much do you want to spend?

Would definitely be useful information.
My shotgun is a Remington 887, which is an 870 with their "armorlockt" coating that protects it from getting wet (on the outside).
Not a bad gun for about $300, and does the job just fine.
Nothing against the higher end semi-autos, but a gun is only as good as the shooter, and a pump kills ducks just as dead as a semi-auto will.

I use a benneli nova if you are looking for a pump. It's been excellent.

Clean the old 1100. They were great guns.

If you have the money go hold a Benelli and Beretta and choose which one fits best. Both are great.

My preference is for a recoil, or inertia driven action automatic, namely Benelli or Browning. If budget won’t allow for an auto, a good pump action, 3” chamber minimum, is good for waterfowl...

A Remington built in the last 20 yrs is complete shite.
3 Bs
Benelli, Beretta, Browning.
Winchester Is supposed to have a good gun right now as well.
Another I’d recommend is a Franchi.

Between central Louisiana and Shreveport at different times. I travel for work a lot between these areas.

The Beretta A300s may be on sale for Christmas right now. Best sub $1k out there.
