What's your shotgun of choice?! - Page 3

682bear · May 27, 2012, 11:46 PM

K-80. With 32 inch barrels.

My second choice would be either a SX-1 or Model 12...

Mossberg 500.

I'm a handgun guy but as we all know, every home should have a shotgun. I probably fire it 3 times month, between 30 to 60 rounds seeing how it's a SD gun and I like to stay proficient.

Hard to choose. I love my supernova for waterfowl. BUT, hard to give up the Ithica 37. First 12ga I learned to shoot with was my grandfathers 1947 Ithica....it's still going strong now.

My 870 Marine Magnum.

Gotta be my Remington 870 Wingmaster. The look, the feel, the sound, the performance. It never fails to please.

joegator · May 29, 2012, 05:44 PM

My 870. The part supply will never run out.

CCCLVII · May 29, 2012, 05:49 PM

I like the 870 just because it was my first shotgun. Mine has an 18.5 inch barrel and an extended mag tube with a folding back stock.

Scorch · May 29, 2012, 06:16 PM

I'm old school, I guess. I still like my A-5.

Mine is a Mossberg 500A. What does the A stand for?

b.thomas · May 30, 2012, 04:00 AM

I have two:
A 35 year old 12 gauge Wingmaster and 20+ year old 1187 skeet.
Neither has ever gave me a bit of trouble and both will shoot whatever I put in them!

H&R with a crate full of barrels in different calibers and gauges.

L_Killkenny · May 31, 2012, 12:52 PM

Currently own an 870 and a Winchester 1300 and like the 1300 substantially more. Too bad aftermarket barrels are so hard to come by and cost as much or more than I paid for the the gun.

That model designates a 12 gauge version

Winchester sx3!!!

Quickdraw Limpsalot · May 31, 2012, 02:17 PM

No contest for me.

870 ever' day o' the week.

While the 870 can do a lot of things, like any jack-of-all-trades, it is a master of none

Depending on the application, there are better choices

The same could be said about all of the choices made in this thread including mine. No matter what gun is chosen it would not be good for everything. If limited to just one the choice becomes using a gun that isn't suited for the purpose or not participating in certain shotgun activities.

That's why most dedicated shotgunners have more than one. To do everything I want and need to do my minimum number is 5 and would be 6 if I shot trap. And yes one of my 5 is an 870.

dwaawd · May 31, 2012, 10:29 PM

1300 Defender...27 years...plus or minus a week or two.

One shotgun? For everything? What a sad thought.
It'd be an Ithaca model 37.

Now that's a tough choice for an old schooler like me.

TheKlawMan · June 2, 2012, 02:00 AM

I wouldn't discount the 870 too much, oneounce. For a good inexpensive all around shot gun it is hard to beat and I still enjoy just having it. I keep mine at home now with the 18.5" barrel, but let my son use it now and then to shoot clays with the 28" vent rib. When we retire, I will try my hand at hunting with the 870. All that for a fraction the price of my Citori.

beex215 · June 2, 2012, 02:05 AM

i only own 2 shotguns. the one before this was a mossberg 590a1. i never shot it though. heres the one i have now

In the field, in the hands of a skilled pump shooter its hard to beat an 870...

Nick S. · June 4, 2012, 04:34 PM

Oneounceload- so when 500 is mentioned, it could be any ga? And the A means it's a 12 ga? So what's a 20ga, B ?

Nick S. · June 4, 2012, 04:51 PM

Testing to see if a picture shows up.

Nick S. · June 4, 2012, 05:00 PM

Well the picture itself didn't but a bunch of numbers did & if you click on it the picture shows. I first posted it on fb & then copied the u something number & pasted it. Doing it from my photo file in the computer doesn't work cause it's too much bytes or something. But fb shrinks pictures automatically & when you lift them from there it works. I'm sure there's an easier way but this way I understand at least.
