My local club is about to start up a 3 gun course. I am not a shotgun person, so I am somewhat lacking in that arena. I have a Marlin single shot 12, remington 870 slug gun (cantilever setup for deer) and a Winchester Model 1897.
Sure I could swap barrels on the 870, sure I could probably use the winchester, but frankly I want a new shotgun. The Winchester was my Grandfathers and I want to keep it pristine for generations to come.
So what do you guys suggest? I had an 870 tactical at one point, and honestly I wasnt the biggest fan. The way the 870 recoiled into my cheek when shooting slugs was rough. Right now at the very top of my list is a Benelli Nova or Super Nova Tactical. I love the sights and the shotgun feels great. Ghost ring sights are pretty much a must, as I would like to be able to shoot slugs somewhat accurately.
I am looking to spend $600 or less, so I assume its going to be pumps only. ( I would kill for a Benelli M4).
It has to last and be reliable as well, as this would more than likely last me the rest of my life. I also plan to use it for home defense.
Thanks in advance.
