What was the last shotgun you bought?

[devildog32713]

Just for fun, what was the last shotgun you bought? Accessories? Ammo you use? Plans for future? Uses?

Me: Mossberg 500 Persuader 8 shot, shell holder, home defense, hunting. There you go, plan to buy new barrel, use target loads, buckshot, slugs.
Your turn.

SKB 28 gauge over-under; uses factory and then reload the empties - great for targets, birds and fun

I've only ever owned one shotgun, a seven shot Ithaca Deerslayer Police Special that I bought in a gunshop in Harvey, Illinois in 1977.

I've never used it for anything but home defense.

I have #4 buck and slugs.

My current home makes it pretty much useless as a defensive firearm, so it stays in the safe.

My shotgun is a used 28" Remington 870 with 10 mag-tube extension and a fiber-optic-bead clip on sight (that I love) I shoot mostly cheep target loads at hand thrown clays, but I also have some 00 for the zombies one of my faveorite things about my 870 is it was only $225 with case and cleaning kit.
Somday I would love a semi-auto

...finally...

...found a Winchester 1200 in 12 ga. identical to my first one bought in 72...no accessories planned...will cut barrel shorter and reblue crown, and snap on a over-the-barrel Truglow sight...as close to the Ithica Raybar sight I had on the first one as I can make it...I am delighted!!!

 

[ReloaderFred]

Winchester Model 97, made in 1954, and had maybe 10 boxes of shells through it, before I bought it. I've shot it more than that since I bought it a couple of months ago. I paid $150.00 for it.....

Mossberg 835 that I got for 200 bucks last year, very slightly used. Came with a full turkey choke, so I bought a modified one and it spits out 00 buck very well. I enjoy skeet shooting with the smooth barrel, as well as hogs. I bought a rifled barrel for it with a 3x9 scope. It puts sub-4" groups in the paper at 80 yards with Hornady SST Sabot slugs. Haven't killed a deer with it, but hope to soon.

I love this gun and will never sell it, if possible. My friends all love it too. The rifled barrel and scope get some second looks and commands respect. I love it.

Last one I bought (for duck hunting) was an 870 express magnum 3 1/2".
I bought a BPS 3 1/2"(japan made) before that for ducks but the piece o sh!! stopped loading the 2nd,3rd shells after it got a little dirt and /or unburnt power in the machanics. Go figure ,a 300.00 pump out performs in the real world better than the great (not)BPS. my .02cents.

 

[CajunBass]

Mossberg 500, 20 ga. Bought it sometime this spring. Plans for it? Not many I don't suppose. I wanted a 20 ga pump. I've only shot it once, and my wife shot a few buckshot shells through it before taking it hunting one day this season. I've got six or eight boxes of 8's and 5's for it, and a few packs of buckshot.

 

[ADKWOODSMAN]

Remington 11-87 20 ga. with the English style stock.

Devastating on clay birds!

 

[Crusader103]

Beretta Golden Snipe O/U 12 ga...... for trap, skeet, sporting clays, and the occasional bird.

....hey, I guess I'm really not just a tactical shooter.

[Gunfighter123]

Well , I own all these and a few more;



Last one I bought ---- looks like yours ??

 

[EdLaver]

Mossberg 930 SPX

 

[Warhawk83]

Mossberg Maverick88,12 gauge, 18.5'' barrel. Home defense with 3'' Magnum 00 Buck.

 

[AKElroy]

This 1100 was NIB, made 1974. I picked it up on gunbroker a few months ago; 28" fixed modified, 2 3/4" only. Honestly never fired; not even the loading gate had brass marks. I have had a great time with it on the birds this year. I love the way these heavy, lazy action old 1100's soak up recoil.

 

[EvanWilliams]

Mossberg 500A. Loaded with buckshot and a few slugs for HD. Probably gonna put a SPec Ops stock on it for collapsible function and recoil.

 

[Big Bill]

On Dec. 23 my wife let me buy a Remington 870 Express Synthetic with 2 shot extension for Christmas. On the 26th, I worked on it for 3 hours trying to get it to accept all six rounds in the magazine. I finally figured it out (I hope). It was filthy dirty right out of the box. I am disappointed in it and wish now I would have bought the Mossberg 590 instead.

 

[chevyforlife21]

bill: all guns need to be cleaned outa the box, they have dust and packing grease. your supposed to break it down before you first shoot it.

 

[esheato]

Browning Citori Lightning in MODB for duck hunting. Love the stack barrels in the field, but could do without the narrow pistol grip. 3 1/2" just crushes the ducks too.

[357sigRog]

Benelli Super Nova 12ga. for turkey hunting

 

[LoneStarWings]

Mossberg 930 SPX was the most recent.

I also have:

Beretta A391 Xtrema2
Remington 870 Express Synthetic 7-shot
Remington 870 Wingmaster

Favorite so far? I'd have to say the SPX!

 

[millertyme]

The first shotgun I purchased was also my last: A used Remington 870 Wingmaster with a 28" fixed, modified choke and full vented rib. Identical to the one of my dad's I grew up shooting in every way except for the serial number. Paid $269 about 10 years ago for it and the guy threw in all the stuff to keep it clean and well-lubed.

 

[navajo]

Remington 3200. Traded for it.

 

[Hunterdad]

Got these a day apart.

Pardner Pump for HD


Remington 870 Magnum SPS

 

[Jack2427]

Browning BPS 10 Gauge 3.5" magnum. Shortened the vent barrel to 19", put on a big dot sight, got synthetic furniture for it, bought a lifetime supply of slugs and 0000 buck(all 3.5" mags). Went to range, re-thought the 3.5" mags, but will keep them for extreme situations, will get some 3" mags.
