Picked up an 1187 in 3 1/2 inch at the gun show for $600. Been running like a scolded ape so far.

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... The only cycling issues I've had are similar to yours and there weren't many times it happened. I wish I had bought the camo version, but couldn't justify it at the time.
I just turned it on . I was looking bird dogs in the butt this morning. ![[Linked Image]](http://i.imgur.com/AvUPi.gif)

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. I've never seen that offered, but it sounds cool. What was the price, if you don't mind me asking? I believe it was 749.99 before tax

I have the Beretta A300 and love it. Bought it last year and have used it on ducks, quail and dove. No issues, fun to shoot and love the synthetic camo pattern. Definitely recommend it.

I think the choices are clear:
Winchester SX3
Beretta A300
Weatherby SA-08
I have to choose Winchester because it uses the same technology as the Browning Maxus. Only you can get an extension tube for goose hunting. Didn't think about that when I bought my Browning, but I wouldn't give that shutgun up for anything.
Beretta, like the Maxus, can't use an extension tube. Only draw back, but its a solid shotgun for the money.
I know several people that own the Weatherby and they have been pleased. It is made in Turkey, but Weatherby clearly has the QC in place that you can get a solid shotgun for the price.
I didn't list Mossberg 930 or 935 because I don't like the balance of that shotgun.

My wife won a Remington Baikal SPR153 several years at a Coleman County Dove Banquet. This has turned out to be my favorite shotgun. We also have a Mossberg 835 and a Remington 1187. The Spartan is my choice most hunts for lightweight and reliability.

Great guns. Now that we have Mr. Trump as our next President. Hopefully getting parts becomes easier. I want to order a new stock for mine.

I bought a Remington 1187 20ga (take 3" shells). Love it! Alot cheaper than the 3 B's.

I've got a Browning B-80 with a 26 inch barrel with screw in chokes and an extra 30 inch full choke barrel. Both with vented ribs. Best, most reliable shotgun I've ever owned and shot. It won't shoot 3 inch though.

Remington V3.
Bought it in August, and it has been great this season for dove, pheasant, and duck.
