Best shotgun for all hunting?
I need a shotgun for under 0, and i want it to be able to hunt dove, squirrel, turkey, duck, and geese with it (i have a slug gun for deer.) I can not decide between anything i find. It has to be a 12 gauge 3 1/2inch because of the waterfowl.
I have done the research and decided that i want a pump action over an automatic.
I have read some automatics will not cycle 2 3/4inch shells.
Unless someone can say a shotgun that can confirm the a shotgun that is chambered in 3 1/2inch chamber can cycle a 2 3/4inch then i am only wanting a pump.
I also know that there is not (to me) that much of a noticeable difference in cycle times between a pump and an automatic.
I am also going to want one with wetland camo due to the fact that i like waterfowl hunting the most, if not then i will just get a wood and metal version.
So can someone tell me a gun that will fit my few needs.
well i just did some research again and it looks as if i will be buying a browning bps or Remington 870, can someone clarify which would be better for my needs.
i now found that some Beretta’s are nice, if anyone can tell me which on is the nicest or best between these 3(i will hopefully use these for my whole life) then that would be nice.

nevermind….forget the guns, just say what you guys think are the best for a lifetime, i will not spend more the 0 though
ok…i am deciding between a remington 870 supermag, and can anyone tell me a really good cheap automatic?

One of the few Semi-Auto that will cycle 2 3/4" that also shoots 3 1/2 is the Beretta A391 Xtrema 2 I know for an absolute fact that it works on all loads in all conditions because I own one. I have owned 2 Berettas an AL390 since 1996 and a A391 since 2005 both work great but they cost a little bit more than $400. The Xtrema cost about $1400-$1800 and you still we need to buy a slug barrel. So with that in mind consider a Stoger for Semi-Auto, I know a guy who swears by his but I can’t say for sure. But if you want proven reliability and a fail proof action get a Remington 870 or a Benneli Nova. I have owned both and how seen them in the field with friends for years Both are great pump action shotguns and fit your price tag.

I would definately go with the Browning BPS. I’ve owned Remington guns all my life and have finally switched over to Browning in my pumps. The Browning actions are so much smoother and the bottom injection is the BEST out there! Why would you want to hunts waterfowl in a blind next to a guy who that every time he shoots he empties his used casings on the side of your head? Not me for sure! besides, Brownings are a much prettier gun, side by side. I also noticed that the Browning Invector choke tubes are rated for both lead and steel and i think you have to get a seperate choke to shoot lead or steel out of the remington chokes. (not positive). I just traded a martin bow for a Browning BPS 20 gauge fully scrolled and i love it. It’s extremely smooth and has a better safety also…on top versus behind trigger guard…but just my opinion…

Weatherby makes an excellent and very high quality 20ga, the SA-20 for 449$. I love the way they handle.

The Remington 870 is great way to go.
