What gun do you have?

[Dale08]

I purchased the SX3 by Winchester a year ago and I have no complaints. I jam shells down it all summer long on our trap range team. Then in the fall it gets used chasing pheasants in the most ideal condtions to some of the worst conditions. The one I purchased is the camo that also shoots up to 3.5 inch shells. Its a little more money but if I ever would take up turkey hunting I am set with this gun. It is a fairly light gun also which helps on those days that you got to walk a little more to find the birds. I would recommend this gun to anybody and I don't think they would be dissapointed. I know i'm not.

870 20ga with full choke and an 870 12ga with modified choke.

I love my 870's

Pump 870 Remington has a quite a track record. Eventually i will have to own one of those.

[Xplorer]

1971 12 ga. Rem. 870 with 3 barrels, 26" mod, 30" full, and a 34" full goose barrel. I use it for everything.

I also have a 1970/71 Browning Belgian Lightning 12 ga O/U, which doesnt go in the field.

Both were handed down to me from my father, and will go on to my son.

Benelli Montifeltro - this gun hooked me on Benelli for good.

Quite a track record, indeed.

They're definitely cheap enough to buy also, new or used.

I bought my 12ga new about 15 years ago, and my 20ga was my dad's (I think he said he bought it new in the early 60's). Neither one has ever malfunctioned.

Not to mention there about as simple as you can find, which is the reason for not having any problems.

I think anybody would be hard pressed to find somebody that has something bad to say about an 870.

I shoot a Benelli SBE. The remington 870 will definately always be a solid choice. The 870 is the best selling shotgun in history with over 10 million sold. I will say I think the wingmaster is a much better gun than the express model. I would find a nice used wingmaster before getting the express. There are more differences than just the looks. My beat around gun is a 1950's wingmaster that really gets abused and still works pefectly.

[Snag]

Wingmaster 12 gauge. IC most of the time. Hoping to get a side by side next fall.

I have a few shotguns. Hunting and my dogs are all of my attention and focus so I spend way more on both of them than I should. I have 2 Beretta Silver Pigeon Vs - a 12 and a 20. I like to refer to them as the deck and finished basement since I would have both had I not bought them. I also have a Beretta Extrema 12 ga. Some call me crazy but it's my money I'll spend it how I like.

I know the op already picked a gun up, for for others looking...

I use a Browning Maxus. I bought it this last fall. Sent about a case of shells through it over the pheasant season. Awesome gun. cant say enough good things about it. Shoots great, easy to take apart and clean. Easy to put a plug in. Easy to load and even easier to unload (dont have to cycle each shell).

As for a backup, I have an 870, but haven't had to use it since getting the Maxus.

Man the wing master is getting a good review in this forum!

Glad there is lots of fans!

[jpettit]

benellli m2 present to my self & as others 12 ga 870 wingmaster.

ocassionaly the 12 ga stoeger over under but it does get d___ heavy after awhile in the field. my 12 yr old shoots a 12 gs hr but is planning on svaing up for a supernova.

have fun shopping!

[Fins-n-feathers]

remington 870

[eckum54]

Winchester 1400 from the early 80's...my dads old gun and in about ten years my sons first gun

I currently shoot an sx3 and it works with out any problems I just keep feeding it shells and it knocks down birds

[CJH]

Franchi Griffone 12g. A nice, light, good looking and feeling field gun.

[Early Riser]

870 Light weight 20 ga with I/C choke (used heavily since 1980)

870 Light weight 28 ga with I/C choke (used by myself and our kids since about 2001).

Both have scaled down receivers versus some 870s I have seen which use a regular 12 ga receiver attached to a 20 ga barrel.

They are perfect grouse guns for MN and both have been flawless. I never have to think about them, except for how much I like them. I shoot any cheap low base 7.5 shot for almost all my grouse hunting.

[IT Guy]

Browning A-5 Light 20 gauge for grouse.

Browning A-12 Light 12 gauge for pheasant.

Sometimes a Browning 22 semi-auto for grouse.

[BMaxus]

Browning Maxus 3"

Rem 1100 3", both are 12 bore.

Got the Maxus for X-mas and only put a few rounds through it, but like it so far. Can't wait to shoot clays with it.

[eckum54]

22 semi for grouse I thought you could only use a .22 for partraige and pheasant?

[LightningBG]

You'll love the Maxus. It's a great gun. I wouldn't trade mine for any gun I've ever shot.

[fishinjosh98]

12 gauge for grouse i have a nova

[knoppers]

benelli m1 super 90, I use it for everything, from grouse to ducks. I cannot miss with this gun. I have a remington wingmaster and a winchester auto, and cannot hit anything with these. I guess the benelli fits me just right. the benelli is also camo, which helped big time with ducks.

If I said the true list, my wife would be angry. She looks on here. So I will say, I have plenty of guns for hunting.... right honey?!!!
