This. Can easily find one for <$800 out the door when they're not on sale.

Dunn’s has the A300 for $600 right now. Hard to find a better gun for the money.

A300

How much do you want for it? I’m in the market for a new 12 gauge

My 1100 worked perfect unless it rained, which is a problem duck hunting. sold it for a pump, finally moved back to an auto last year. Sx4

Thanks for the heads up. Been wanting to upgrade to a semi and I already have a bunch of beretta chokes for my white wing.

We are Benelli fans. They are a hard to beat. We have a 12 gauge Super Black Eagle 2, a 20 gauge Montefeltro, and just got a 12 gauge Ethos.

Winchester SX4. Reliable, affordable, lightweight. Hard to beat for the money.

Hard to find the Winchester SX4 in camo in stock anywhere right now for some reason.

My shotgun is a Remington 887,


I’ve had one as my fallback gun when my autos had issues. Solid gun. And for price you can’t beat it. Mine has been in saltwater several times. Never an issue. Should have stuck with pumps instead of wasting money on autos.

I have a Browning Maxus, Benelli SBE3, and my father shoots a SBE2.

Winchester SX3 and SX4 are based on the Browning Maxus design.

All three are awesome just need to figure out if you want a gas powered gun (Less Recoil) or a inertia driven gun. You can probably find a SBE2 used for a very good price!
Another good gun to look at is Retay. They too are based on the Benelli design.

I know you are looking for Camo but I would actually go with a cerakoted gun. The camo doesn't hold up as much as you think compared to cerakote.

Stay away from Remington their quality is shite these days.

Winchester has good shotguns but can get pricey. Same with Benelli.

I’d recommend Stoeger. It’s a subsidiary of Benelli but way cheaper in price but quality seems decent. I have an over/under Stoeger 20 ga I use for dove hunting that has been solid
