shotgun input request

(1/3) > >>

abbafandr:
I finally shot my first multi-gun this weekend.  Figured out my field gun won't cut it.

In the market for a suitable one.

Don't have a big preference of action, pump or semi.
8 shot with chamber loaded, minimum.
Want it ready to go out of the box.  Don't want to have to modify it. (like adding magazine extensions and such).
Don't one that is too pricey since I will only use it 5 or 6 times a year.
Really don't want something that is finicky about ammo.

I have talked with a few of you in person.  I would like to get a broader range of input from my gun savvy compadres here.

shooter:
 I have a few rem 870 riot guns, really like them,  I ran them for years in 3 gun matches,

kruiz:
Most semi autos will run well over1250 fps. Other wise an 870 or Mossberg 500 A1 or similar would do the trick.

Gunscribe:
Mossberg 930 has been my go to for a few years now. 500.00 or less usually. Jerry Micilek was running one for a few years don't know if he still is or not. There is even a model 930 with his name on it (930 JM). Great gun.

GreggL:
I will second the JM Pro by Mossberg. I picked one up locally for a good price, I chose the one with the 24" barrel because you can fit one more round in the magazine of that model. I spent some time cleaning and polishing the moving parts before I took it out for the first time and have had zero problems with it. I've been running the cheap Federal and Winchester rounds from Wally World and they work great. Now I just need to get some shotgun shell caddies and spend lots of time on reloads!
