I would like to get into a new semi-auto 12ga shotgun and I'm not sure what to get. I would like something capable of 3.5" but will shoot 2.75" target/skeet loads reliably. I once owned a remington 1187 but it jammed a lot with the 2.75" skeet loads (cheap stuff). I will be shooting mostly skeet loads but may use it for turkey and possibly buckshot for deer. I've looked at a Urika and some Winchesters but I'm worried they won't reliably cycle cheap target loads. Any suggestions??
