Bought a 20 and 12 on sale paid $850.00 total for both. No issues with either one. Have not shot my SBE in 5 years!

Stoeger M3500 for $600 in black and $700 in camo. Inertia system and three or four chokes come with them. I've been very pleased.

Did they have a buy one, get one free special? I'm seeing that they are $850 apiece.

Edit: Nevermind! Cabela's has them in sale in synthetic stock for $430. Seems like a screaming deal.

how do you like it?
since I bought the 835 when it first came out, I've been intriqued by the 935...
don't goose shoot much anymore, tho.

I agree with the Stoeger, everyone I know that has one likes it. Plus they are a Benelli product. I had a Mossberg 935 several years ago when you could get it for about $550-600. That gun was awesome, it was in my younger years when I still duck hunted public land and it got abused but still functioned flawlessly for a long time. After about 8-10 years of being thrown in the bottom of a leaking canoe and lord knows what else it started to malfunction, turned out to be the rod/spring in the stock were rusted.

If you are on a budget like me, I just bought a 12 ga Tristar viper g2 with camo for $475. It has synthetic stock, comes with 3 benelli chokes and is gas operated. The only reviews I found were positive so I went ahead and took a chance. I have only run about 10 shells through it so far but it has handled great. Check back with me at the end of the season and I will let you know how it handled.

I've never seen that offered, but it sounds cool. What was the price, if you don't mind me asking?

Beretta A 300 is by far the best value on the market.

Got a franchi affinity earlier this year, I love it. Great gun for the money.

I picked up a chiappa 12 camo toward end of last season. Same bolt design as Beretta. I really like it. Shoulders well, smooth action, came with three chokes, fairly light, doesn't kick bad with inertia driven bolt, and was cheap. I got it at academy...can't remember exact price but it was 100_200 less than the Beretta

I'm in the market and trying to decide between the Stoeger M3500 and Beretta A300. Prices around holidays make them pretty similar. Have heard/read great things about both in my research. Coin toss? Any input appreciated...


No, I'm not a good shot, but I shoot often.

Another vote for the Stoeger M3500. I've had it for 3 full seasons now and working on my fourth. Never had any issues other than it didn't like cycling some really light dove loads which is not really what I got the gun for...

I love it. Wish I had gone with the waterfowl version. Nobody had that in stock when I got mine, or I would've...
