Best shotgun under 500 dollars?

I got my a300 for like 650

If it’s for skeet and sporting clays look at the yildiz over and unders at academy...

Stoeger m3000

Like others said, the A300 is a steal for the price.

I've got a yildiz over/under 20 gauge that I bought on sale for like $370. It came with 5 chokes, single selectable trigger, extractors and detectors. It wasn't a bad looking gun at all when I bought it- really nice looking actually- but after beating the hell out of it hunting with it for a few years, it now has some character.

I've killed a pile of big ducks (and other ducks) dove, squirrel, quail and woodcock and a few rabbits with that gun, and I've shot no telling how many rounds of skeet with it. I highly recommend it for what you're looking for.

Remington .870 no doubt about it

You don’t want a pump skeet shooting, I mean it’s fun and more challenging but don’t be that guy

That my thing: the guy said he enjoyed the skeet and was looking to pick up his own gun. An 870 for that? Really?

Once you start shooting skeet you will quickly find that there are guns that fit you and guns that do not.

Buy one that fits. LINK

You will find that fit has little to do with cost. You may overpay for something that doesn't fit.

I have never been formerly fitted but I know my Citori with a 28 inch barrel fits me better because my eyes are over the barrel when I do the little test. I also shoot a 1187 that does not fit me the same. I shoot it duck hunting. I am not as accurate with the 1187. If I shoot it on the skeet range I am normally two or three targets less with it than the citori it seems.

I don't shoot as much as I used too and never was a regular every week skeet shooter. I have never had a perfect round but have had several 23 or 24s.

Why not?
