Thread: Shotguns WHERE do I start

I'm just gathering the funds together and planning on purchasing a semi, 20 or 12 gauge semi but where the hell do I start?

I'm not touching anything with the word Norinco or GunShitty but aside from those two where do I start? My price range is under $1800

I've heard Stoegers are good and with that berretta or benelli are awsome guns, I've also heard Browning,fabarm,h&r and anything Italian is generally a good gun.

I'm also wanting a 5+1 minimum magazine capacity preferably a 7 with a mag extensension... I'm 6 foot 2 and 70kg,I find anything carbine like too short to use and I'm wanting to be shooting to 40m ish.... I want to make the most out of the gauge so I'm unsure of whether to go 12 or 20

I'm wanting it to shoot clays with and also to do parries and Canada Geese,its the sort of gun that I can carry on my back and swap around when I've got the AR and use as a ambush gun.... I won't be chasing pigs with it so I'm not worried in the least about its ability to cycle buckshot and solids...

Experience with shotguns.... well I've shot some buckets in the pond with a mates h%r 12gauge semi and tbh i laughed at the recoil.... weirdly enough I Enjoyed it!

I was in serious shooters yesterday in the gun room all by myself and browsing through, two guns caught my eye.... 1) a saiga 12. 2)a browning silver hunter 12gauge which was absolutely beautiful and within the price range at 1799 I think, I like the saiga in that its a saiga so reliability won't be an issue but like anything thats derived from a military style firearm I must first question its practicle use as a hunting arm, the detachable mag is defenitly a positive....
