What's your shotgun of choice?!

Currently own an 870 and a Winchester 1300 and like the 1300 substantially more. Too bad aftermarket barrels are so hard to come by and cost as much or more than I paid for the the gun.

The same could be said about all of the choices made in this thread including mine. No matter what gun is chosen it would not be good for everything. If limited to just one the choice becomes using a gun that isn't suited for the purpose or not participating in certain shotgun activities.

That's why most dedicated shotgunners have more than one. To do everything I want and need to do my minimum number is 5 and would be 6 if I shot trap. And yes one of my 5 is an 870. :)
 
One shotgun? For everything? What a sad thought.
It'd be an Ithaca model 37.

I'm old school, I guess. I still like my A-5.

Hats off to the guys who picked the 1100. The most magical autoloader ever produced IMHO. Since 1963 over 6 million sold!

Now that's a tough choice for an old schooler like me.
 
I wouldn't discount the 870 too much, oneounce. For a good inexpensive all around shot gun it is hard to beat and I still enjoy just having it. I keep mine at home now with the 18.5" barrel, but let my son use it now and then to shoot clays with the 28" vent rib. When we retire, I will try my hand at hunting with the 870. All that for a fraction the price of my Citori.
 
i only own 2 shotguns. the one before this was a mossberg 590a1. i never shot it though. heres the one i have now

that would be do-it-all SO-SO.... While the 870 can do a lot of things, like any jack-of-all-trades, it is a master of none

In the field, in the hands of a skilled pump shooter its hard to beat an 870...
 
Oneounceload- so when 500 is mentioned, it could be any ga? And the A means it's a 12 ga? So what's a 20ga, B ?
 
Picture came out.

Well the picture itself didn't but a bunch of numbers did & if you click on it the picture shows. I first posted it on fb & then copied the u something number & pasted it. Doing it from my photo file in the computer doesn't work cause it's too much bytes or something. But fb shrinks pictures automatically & when you lift them from there it works. I'm sure there's an easier way but this way I understand at least.
 
I have only 2 shotguns and one is a single-shot. The other is a Mossberg 930 SPX that I truly love. I suppose I could be quite happy with that if I couldn't own another.

My Light-12s are my traditional favorites (with my Light-20 as my most valued field gun) but I've recently been shooting a Beretta 390 and frankly I'm liking it a lot... The 390 is certainly is a lot more capable of seamlessly switching from 7/8oz handloaded dove loads to heavier field loads than my beloved Browning Auto5s, even if it does lack that wonderful Auto5 noise when it recoils..
 
I can't hardly choose just one, if it's a semi auto, then my vote goes towards one of my A5's, but normally I choose a side by side for field hunts, but there is nothing wrong with a good 1100, either.

As far a new guns go, I like the Beretta Unico line pretty good.
