Which shotgun?

[barry]

Our local NWTF chapter is going to raffle off a shotgun this winter to earn some extra money for our Youth & Handicapped events.
We want to have a really nice shotgun for the prize.
Right now we are looking at going with either a Browning or a Bennelli

What make & model of these shotguns (in the $1200 and under range) would you like to see as a prize if you were buying a raffle ticket?
Other suggestions welcome!

Benelli American SBE2

Whatever you pick, I think it might be best if it had "Made in the U.S.A." stamped on it...especially these days.

Beretta 391

Stoeger 3500 24" APG

[Kywoodsman]

Remington 870 express super mag

How many attend the fundraiser. I do a gun every year for our banquet and sell the same number of tickets no matter the gun. A lesser gun may clear more money for you.

We'll be set up at a big game show expecting up to 10 THOUSAND people to attend

Browning Silver NWTF edition.  If not the Silver, I'd say the Benelli Super Black Eagle American.

For once, it's nice to hear about a NICE gun being raffled off in association with the NWTF.

In addition to the shotgun, maybe top it with a nice scope & choke tube.
Just a thought !  Take Care

If I had $1200 for raffle guns, I'd do 3 USA pump guns, 870 Super Mag, an 870 3" 12 ga. and an 870 3" 20 ga. Could cover everyone from the youth to the big and tall.

I agree with Ricky. My thought would be an 835 or 935 topped with a Burris FF II, and a PG .670

I would raffle off a Browning Maxus.

Yup,...this is what I would do, too.   The more prizes you have in a raffle, the more likely people are to buy tickets. Most people who buy tickets for these are supporting the cause, not expecting to really win something.  The more chance they think they have to win something, the more likely they are to buy tickets. 

Also, keep the ticket prices down....no more than $5 a pop, and less than that is even better.  Too many raffles set the ticket prices at $10 or even $20 a ticket.  That eliminates a lot of folks as ticket buyers,...and gives people the impression that you are catering your raffle to the rich guy.  Keep ticket prices down and let everybody have a chance to get in!  The average guy will appreciate you, and your organization, much more because of it.

Good idea on multiple guns.

Ticket price will be $5 a piece or 3 for $10
