When it comes to buying a gun, I am very much a minimalist. I have one handgun, one hunting rifle, and one AR. It is now time to add a shotgun to the mix. I want to be able to hunt dove, quail, and turkey with it. Barrel length? I am a Remington fan. If I get an 870, can I get other barrels for it. I was thinking maybe the 887 camo combo? 22" and 28". I am open to any suggestion, so let's hear them. Thanks |
| What's your budget? Personally I like the Benelli Nova over the 870 in pump guns. Others like Mossberg. For dove or quail I'd maybe look at an auto for quicker follow up shots. The sky is the limit there. I'm not a big believer in the 3 1/2 inch guns. Lots of turkeys have been killed but three inchers. Lots have been killed with 2 3/4 shells. The 3 1/2 guns always seem to big and clunky to me, especially if you're also looking at dove and quail. |

After researching many guns, I made my choice. I got a Benelli Nova 12ga. w/26" barrel. I can add a 2" extended choke if I need a longer barrel. I can shoot 2 3/4, 3, and 3 1/2" shells. It is weather resistant, high quality, and very reliable. I think it will do everything I need at a price point under $550 OTD. Thanks for your input, I greatly appreciate it! |
