Winchester SX3

Right before teal I found basically new mossberg 935 for $225

Remington v3

Franchi affinity
Stoeger

Weatherby SA-08

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.

Totally agree!

I love my stoeger 3500 I got the waterfowl edition it came with 3 extended chokes a set of the regular flush chokes and a paracord sling and a bigger bolt for the action for when you have big gloves on or something.

Winner. I would pit this gun against ones costing $500 more.

Beretta A300. Also have a moss 930 I picked up 7 years ago for 250, still runs like a champ.

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?

Browning a5 let's call it 1k. On sale on sportsman's guide for 1099 no tax free shipping

Sorry sportsman's warehouse

Love my stoeger m3500

Benelli M1 Super90. Great guns

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...

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...
