Thread: What shotgun for bulk rabbits and occasional wallbies?

@hotbarrels where are ya, I'll have them..

You could try a Girsan 312 , HF had them for $699 new , basically a Turkish Beneli , recoil spring in butt stock , I got one for $650 , or maybe a 2nd hand Stoeger M3000

Made in the same factory as the Ranger M5?

if you dont mind a bit of yakka remington 870 fool proof easy to clean fix and usually great value.

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

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...

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.
