Since this is my 5th year hunting I'm gonna take a try at duck hunting now. Looking for info on what shotgun recommendations you guys might have and if anyone has something to sell? Also if anyone in the Tuckerton area has room to take me out? I know it's asking a lot but can't hurt to ask.

What kind of gun do you have now?

 

[ithaca10]

A) How much you looking to spend.
B) I would purchase something that is 12 gauge, shoots 2 3/4" to 3 1/2" shells, multiple chokes and i prefer a 28" barrel length.

 

[George79]

I have 12ga Mossberg 500 and 20ga franchi

 

[George79]

I have chokes for deer pheasant quail and turkey. Been slowly getting into each season.

 

[George79]

Something for maybe no more than $500 but not for beginners. I see that $1000 or more can easily be spent.

Remington 887 2 3/4"-3 1/2"
comes in Black composite, realtree and advantage max-4 camo.
Ranges from $499.00-$550.00 I believe.

If you have no more than 500 to spend, I would honestly just consider using the mossberg to hunt and just get an aftermarket choke for it. It isn't necessary to go out and get a specialized waterfowl gun to kill ducks. Lots of advertising out there to make you think otherwise. There is so much other equipment associated with waterfowl that your $500 could be better used somewhere else. Good luck.

Totally agree.

 

[George79]

I do have more and for a good price/investment I'll consider it no problem.

I used a Mossberg 500 for years still take it now n than. But I do have a stoger 3500 that it's a great gun. It is a little ugly but who cares never had a problem with it last year even with ice on it

Lotta money for a gun that dogs will step on, it'll fill with water a time or two n the action will be at least lightly sprinkled w duckweed, wet feathers n blood. I'm no Mossberg fan, exception being the patterning ability of the 835 but the Mossberg advice was prob sound for a beginner. Not to mention it could wind up at the bottom of a lake, river or muddy marsh given a bad situation. That prob won't happen to most but 1600 is a lot for a duck gun. I've got a lot of guns, some pretty pricey but they ain't going into a duck boat. If you can do that God bless ya

Beretta Extreme. Love it. Owned it for 2 years it shoots like a dream and cycles anything. It does cost you but its all you will ever need.

 

[danm223]

$1600?! You got screwed on that one. I have a friend that picked one up in MODB all the bells and whistles out the door a little over $1200. If your looking for one under $500 id go with the 870. Now if your going for a higher end one the SBEII, SX3, Maxus and some berettas are ones to look at.

 

[Ducks&Bucks]

Use the mossberg 500 thats what I use.....you dont need anything fancy they all do the same thing

 

[eb98]

Why buy new stuff when you don't even know if you will like duck hunting?

If $1000 is too much for a shotgun, the price of waders, boat, trailer, decoys, dog, and calls will blow you away.

That's what I like to hear. Just have to get me some chokes.
