I'm 4 years new to duck hunting (lifelong hunter of most other animals, and long time rifle collector and enthusiast), and learning pretty quickly that this sport is miserably abusive on hardware. I'm looking for a solid recommendation on a durable duck gun, 12 ga, 28-30" bl, able to digest any load (2-3/4 to 3.5"). My budget is $2500, no preference on pump v. semi-auto, more interested in something camo-dipped synthetic that I can depend on but not be afraid to use as a paddle for my canoe. If you have field experience, your opinion is appreciated!
