Whats YOUR favorite shotgun? - Page 2

FrosSsT · August 9, 2011, 05:23 PM

It does not have to be one you own, just your favorite.

rigby06 · August 9, 2011, 05:27 PM

For me the one I own, Benelli M1 Super 90.

southpaw02 · August 9, 2011, 09:52 PM

Thats easy, since I am left handed. It would be the Ithaca 37

Tommy Vercetti · August 9, 2011, 10:01 PM

the one Adrian Brody carried in Predators, the AA-12

my own personal shotgun is a Winchester 1300 (22 inch barrel, extra full turkey choke, laminated stock)

My Stevens - 12 Gauge DB Shotgun modified for HD 18 1/2" barrels.

Any of the Beretta 680 Series guns...

"It does not have to be one you own"

My sentimental favorite is my uncle's Stevens 20 ga. SxS that he bought new in 1953.

You didn't post a pic, so here's one of mine for those who don't know what a MX8 looks like

34"? How do you like it? Mines a 31-1/2'

When I bought mine I already had a good selection of respectable shotguns but nothing in quite the same league. When I shot one of the other guns I'd ask "Why I am shooting THIS when I have a Perazzi back at home." There was only one thing to do. I sold most of them to buy a 28 gauge P-gun just like my 12. No regrets.

my favorite shotgun is the specific, actual mossberg 500 I have in our home.

It's the metric equivalent of 30" -- for some reason the pic makes it look long. I must confess, it's not my favorite -- I shoot better scores [skeet] with my 28" P-guns. I've only shot a few practice rounds with the MX8, so the jury is still out.

Browning A5 Light Twelve. My father took me to the gun shop on my 12th birthday and said, pick any shotgun you want. I brought home the A5.

Cowboy_mo · August 10, 2011, 08:33 PM

My favorite WAS my Ithaca Model 37 but being young and dumb I sold it a long time ago.

The favorite I still own and use is my Franchi semi-auto. It is 20 guage and swings like lightning. It really became my favorite after I recently had it bored out and fitted with screw in choke tubes. Now I can use it for everything as it was a cylinder bore before. Great at 25 yds and under but if I was slow on the trigger the birds & bunnies were out of range.

BrittB · August 11, 2011, 12:19 AM

I like the old JC Higgins model 20/ High Standard Model 200 12 gauge. I just like them and find it really hard to pass one up. If anyone local to me has one for cheap, let me know.

MOshooter65202 · August 11, 2011, 08:03 AM

My favorite shotgun is the Remington 1100 & 11-87
I have been hunting with one or the other for nearly 40 years and packed them for countless miles quail hunting.

Bernie Lomax · August 11, 2011, 09:21 AM

Mossberg 590A1. There's nothing better than heading out to the range with that bad boy and a case of shells and blasting away. The heavy barrel really seems to help ameliorate the recoil. Shooting high brass shells is almost pleasant as long as they're not magnums.

micromontenegro · August 11, 2011, 09:32 AM

Browning Sweet Sixteen

microman · August 11, 2011, 05:49 PM

Remington 870

scottycoyote · August 11, 2011, 07:03 PM

71Eagle · August 11, 2011, 09:22 PM

Browning 425 with 30" barrels. All the shotgun I want or need.

ritepath · August 11, 2011, 09:44 PM

My model 12 16ga....I've had it since 83. Used it or everything (cept deer) since then.

Terry A · August 11, 2011, 10:48 PM

Benelli M2 Tactical.

darkgael · August 12, 2011, 05:40 AM

Favorite(s).
Kinda depends on what I am doing. It's like asking a woodworker what his favorite tool is.
The gun that I shoot the most and have really come to enjoy is my recently acquired BT-99.
The gun that is my favorite to haul afield for a day of walking with the dog and looking for grouse is my recently acquired "old" gun. a Model 59 Winchester.
My favorite double is an O/U Weatherby (SKB) Orion 20 gauge.
And then there's......

16 ga. Marlin Model 90 O/U with 26" barrels choked between cylinder and skeet on the bottom and imp. mod.on the top.

Boy that's a hard one--But I think it would be this:

After yesterday, I really like my Stoeger Condor, it just does the job at hand without question and keeps getting better with time. It's kind of like an old Ford pickup, it just works!
