Which Shotgun to buy?

[Bucks&Ducks]

I have a 1981 wingmaster that ive had handed down from my grandfather. It is still the smoothest pump shotgun ive ever used and ive never had a jam. This gun is indestructable if treated properly and cared for. If it ever needs replacing it will be with the exact same gun.

Just wondering how much a wingmaster synthetic go for new maybe I'll grab one.

[Kyle84]

more then the maverick 88
wingmaster is great, my hunting buddy has one.

Within the 870 model designation there are a number of levels, if you will. Some still exist, some no longer do. The wingmaster is/was the top level, with express being the bottom. Both are functionally the same, one has nicer fit and finish. An 870 express used you should be able to pick up between $200-300, they aren't much more new, but been a long time since I looked at one. Spend some time on gun nutz, or cruise some the the canadian gun merchant sites and you'll quickly find the pricing.

870's are the workhorse that'll never let you down

my maverick 88 is the cheapest gun i own and i love it

[tikka.308]

ive got 2 870's and a new maxus. cant complain about either one

How does th maxus perform, my wife has been buggin me buy one for her she's a Total Browning chick.

Haven't seen anything bad on the Maxus yet, couple of critiques that were nitpicky. Those who have bought them, and there are a lot, seem to be happy with them. And of course like any autoloader, there are a few that had some problems. The few that I have seen reported were fixed without any apparent further problems. I don't think a person can really go wrong buying Browning on the whole.

[tikka.308]

i think the maxus is unreal... its eats any ammo you put through it without jamming. the "no recoil" is pretty good too

[Benelli FanBoy]

I am taking up Duck and Goose hunting this year and am looking to buy a new shotgun. I would be looking for a 12 ga pump action, synthetic stock.

What is the most reliable shotgun out there?

Benelli Nova (Best bang for your buck)

or

Benelli Super Nova (Little extra in price, but gives you more comfort if shooting heavy rounds)

Price difference between the two is less than 100$
