Title: NEED HELP ON WHICH GUN
Post by: HunterMc23 on January 09, 2016, 06:23:12 PM
I was in the market to buy an automatic 20ga, and I need your guys' help on which one would be the best option:

Remington 1187
Weatherby SA-08
Stoeger M3020

Please let me know.  Thanks

The new 2015 model Weatherby SA 08 is an awesome 20 ga turkey gun. I know its not on your list but the Franchi Affinity would make a great "all purpose 20 ga"

^Right and right.

Love my SX3 but it's not on you list either.  That Weatherby in the turkey model is sweet.

If I was looking for a 20 ga auto it would be that franci.

I have several Franchi's. Good, dependable weapons. I'm old school, and I'd take the 11-87 from that list.

I bought one a year ago.  Narrowed it down the Winchester, Weatherby and the Franchi Affinity.  Ended up getting the Franchi.  Felt good, and I thought it was the best value.  I have no regrets.  Don't think you can go wrong with any of the 3.

If I couldn't get a m2 I would look at the franchise or the old dependable 11-87.

I like the inertia system the best so I'd go stoeger. Easiest to clean and take care of and the simplest design of all.

I sure am glad to see some votes for the Franchi Affinity since I just bought one for this purpose.  They make one in Bottomland now that is sweet looking!!!!!
