Hi all. Pete here, the guy that does not own a shotgun yet.
I am leaning toward a Remington V3. You guys have talked me out of a pump action. The v3 is affordable, sounds quite reliable and the gas system appears to manage recoil well and does not get dirty. Sounds perfect. Now to figure out 28 inch or 26. Probably 28. I equate it to bows..... I cannot buy into the short bow thing...... longer is more stable (although 2 inches on a shotgun is probably not noticeable for a newbie). I am not to concerned about my barrel being an issue walking through the woods..... all barrels are an issue walking through the woods
So I have been reading all about chokes. Seems like voodoo magic to me. I tried to find articles on what plays nice with the V3, but no luck. Then I started to think, a barrel is a barrel, and maybe the focus should be on choke and shot shell compatibility. Forget the gun. Is that a fair assumption? Maybe barrel length comes into play, where a 24 inch barrel will behave differently than a 28 inch with the same choke.
Thanks
Pete
