Shit, I shot bout 17 slugs PRONE with my pump mossberg.
That sucked.

bloody AA12

The Remington V3 is getting great reviews, a step down from the versamax in that it only takes three inch but heck when do you need bigger
H/F are /were selling thm at a very good price @1299 damn near 600 less than I paid for mine
Mine has never missed a beat.

Benelli m2, I bought one off wirehunt a decade ago that had done a season on bunnies and it’s still going strong... on perminate loan to a mate at the moment as I upgraded to a camo one when his old m1 required a barrel band weld and forgot to return the Black Death.
Looking at a 20g now for bunny work as it’s even lighter.
The number of jams in the benellis has been less than a half a dozen in all that time... and a few of them were with trap loads

Mine when I had it was very pleasant to use.

+2 for Fabarm, I have one and they are so light with very soft recoil due to a compressible piston system. Mine has fired 10,000's of rounds and just keeps going. They are from the Benelli/Beretta group but cost a heap less. I'm a soft weedy wimp and have happily fired off hundreds of rounds in a day.

My old Rem Mod 1100 has done a lot of work and can't ever remember it jamming, it did break an extractor out night shooting one night but an easy fix. Mine is only 23/4 inch but that's all I need I don't chase ducks etc.

Versamax.......you can leave it in the creek with the eels for a fortnight.....it’ll work just fine.....a great allround ,fair priced shotgun...

yes he is right, he is a soft weedy wimp

I use a Beretta A 300 Xtrema with 2 shot on the wallabies and it knocks them down good no problem. I have shot a shit load of rabbits with it as well and it never misses a beat, and I don't find it too hard on the shoulder either.
