    Question Need help choosing a gun

    So I'm looking to get into my first true duck gun, but I am having troubles making a final decision so I'm looking for help. I'm set on getting a pump action with at least a 3 inch chamber, but would also like a 3.5 for if I ever move back to Ontario (for turkey). Reliability and dependability are big for me, and so far all three of these have their pro's and con's, so lets hear what all of you have to say.... Here are the choices...

    Benelli Supernova

    Browning BPS field waterfowler
    http://ca.wholesalesports.com/storef...rod186803.html

    and the 870 Wingmaster of course but I'd have to take it out in the field and ruin the beautiful finish on it.

    Any other suggestions will also be considered... Mossberg? 870 Express?

    Thanks in advance for the info!

    Love my Supernova, but I am a shotgun newcomer. That said, I'd buy it again. Might have something to do with my Italian heritage!

    "The standard" pump gun is the 870, there are a couple of dozen different models including synthetic and camoed, but just taking care of a gun is all you need to have years of service out of it in any condition.

    Wingmaster !
    You"ll have it for many many years and it will still shoot great til the day you retire it or hand it down like mine was. Little wear and tear over time will only enhance it's character and great field memories as well.

    870 Super Mag Synthetic. Durable. Shootable. Inexpensive. The matte finish on the barrel seems to be indestructible. And you can interchange the black synthetic stock and fore-end with camo patterns.

    Because I have it, the Browning BPS. My hunting partner has an 870 and he likes it. 3" is all you really need and 2 3/4" works just fine most of the time.
