Title: Favorite Shotgun
Post by: Gtown78 on March 27, 2016, 09:25:25 PM
What's your favorite shotgun? I have had a bunch of shotguns but always go back to a Remington 870. This gun just fits me the best and I've never had one fail.

Mossberg 835. You can spend more money but you won't get better performance in my opinion.

Another vote for these two.  A friend of mine had these and the more I looked at them, the more I had to have them.  Sold my 10 month old A5 and bought them both last fall.

My Vinci has become my favorite by far. With the steady grip and ff3 on it she's ready for turkey season. A quick swap back to the standard stock and pull off the red dot and  it's ready for anything that flies. I have several other shotguns that are near and dear to me but it seems I'm always reaching for the Vinci.

Probably my old 870 sps.  It was my first "turkey gun" (although it's been used for everything). Bought it new when I was 14 with chicken catching money!  It's mossyoak bottom land with a break up stock (broke the stock after they quit using bottom land). Never had an aftermarket choke for the gun and never shot a htl shell out of it. Killed more than it's share of turkeys. Don't use it much at all anymore but it sure as heck will never be for sale!

Remington sp10 , used hard for 20 plus seasons , brings down gobblers with authority, weighs in at around 12 pounds has a 23 inch barrel -- I like a heavy turkey gun , aim is steady ....

I had no intentions to ever buy this gun cause they retailed for 1200$ , I walked into a sporting goods store that was going out of business ....$500 , and a deal was struck

I have an old Rem model 11 that I really love to shoot, but a few years ago I bought my uncles 1100, and it has become one of my favorites.

my favorite shotgun would have to be my Remington 1100 3" magnum 30" full choke
a pain to carry in the woods sometimes, but love the way it feels and shoots

Benelli SBEII. Bought it the year they came out, and have killed a ton of turkeys, geese, ducks, etc. with it. This year I have a new Benelli m2 that is going to be my main turkey slayer. I have it all set up with an aimpoint, 21" barrel, steady grip stock, and a cheek riser. Time will tell if it takes over the "favorite" spot, for turkeys at least.

SBE2

I, like many, have a bunch of shotguns, but I always go back to that one.  Way more than I ever wanted to spend on a 12g, but I've never once regretted it.
