single shot ten 54" barrel, skeet choke, and shoot 2 1/2 oz of #8 steel. I hit about a 1/4 of the birds I shoot at.

I use a Fabarm Lion, which is on the high side of that price range. H&K used to import them, but they do not currently have a US importer that I am aware of. It's an excellent shotgun.

auto super black eagle. You can find a good used one for the money you are looking to spend. Been shooting it for two years and not one single issue

Sweet gun there Threecurl. I came real close to buying one once. Felt real good.
I shoot a Benelli M1 Super 90. Pretty much same as the SBE only it does not handle 3.5". (replaced by the M2) I did put the mercury filled recoil reducer in it and it feels like a 410 when shooting 3" mags. Best shotgun I have ever owned.... hands down.

Stoeger Mod. 2000 Never have had a problem with it, and the price was right.
Painted it up before season started, now it looks good and performs good.
Thats the thing about life, nobody gets out alive.

Benelli Nova. Not a "Cheapo" gun, not overly expensive. I've taken mine to hell and back and the only time it dosnt kill something, it's been my fault. less than your 5-800 price range, but it's also a pump, and that's what I prefer. I suppose auto's are a tad more pricy.
Shot guns will only be as accurate as the person wielding them. Just gotta pick it up and see how it feels in your arms, and how it shoots. There's some other great guns out there, just gotta find what's right for you. For me, I'll always love my Benelli.

Thanks, Greg. I like the way the gun fits me. I don't know if you noticed, but I'm not very tall...
Does anyone shoot a Browning Silver?

You know... I did notice that. haha. Not like I can talk much there. Maybe that is why I liked the gun too. The way a gun fits makes all the difference. WAY too many people just take them out of the box and go shooting. They come with the shims for a reason... go get it fitted by someone who knows what they are doing.

SBEII...don't waste your money on a cheap gun if you really want a SBEII or Extrema. You'll end up getting one sooner or later anyway. Then again if you go hunting only like once or twice a year then something like a Remington 870 would work.
Dear Lord please bullwhip me for saying this but I agree, Marcstar is in the lead. Please nobody use this as a quote!!!

Depends on the options but $1500 for a max4 with confort tech. It's more expensive for me I figure I'll be shooting that gun for the rest of my life (or until the SBEIII comes out, lol).
I really don't care about the brand name or status of a shotgun...I look at it as a tool of death. I've been pretty happy with it.
If I were you I'd go look at all the waterfowling shotguns and not worry about price until you figure out how much the one you really like costs. At that point you'll either have to pony up for it or maybe wait. But hell you might end up liking something that costs less.

I have a $200 870 synthetic that I've dragged through the mud for years, and a $900 Browning Gold Hunter in pristine condition. And dang if I don't feel better shooting that old pump.
