First Duck Hunting Shotgun

[Sharpdogs]

I am looking into get my first duck hunting shotguns.  Any suggestions?  I would like to keep it at $600 or under.  I am considering the Mossberg 930.  I would like to go with a semi but I am open to suggestions.

I have Mossberg 935 ... no problems.

Can't go wrong with a pump. Rem, Brown or Moss. I am not smart enough to judge the implications for having a new regime in Trenton.

Stoeger M3000, it's a poor mans Bennelli has the same inertia driven system, and will eat anything you feed it, a camo one can be had for under $600. The M3000 is a 3" gun, the M3500 is 3.5" but runs about a hundred or so more. These are great very low maintenance semis.

The Mossberg 930 waterfowler is a fine gun. It's a versitile tool. I hunt everything with that gun. Spend the extra money and get the camo Pro Series. It will shoot all types shotgun ammo from very light to heavy loads.

Beretta A300 Outlander - semi-auto with the Beretta name. I love this gun. And at this time of year you can get a good deal on them. The black synthetic is usually between 600 and 700 (with the camo slightly more) but with sales, you can usually find them around 550. I bought mine last year for about that price. For example, Bass Pro has it right now for 580. I bet you can find it cheaper if you look hard enough.

Thanks guys, I am going to stick with my pump gun and save my pennies. I got bit pretty bad by the duck hunting bug and just bought a bunch of decoys and a call. My boss is the one that got me duck hunting so I wonder if I can write all this off as a business expense .

If he has a hot spot for you to hunt .... it may be a taxable benefit. (And, I'd gladly pay it! lol)

 

I've been using an old Browning pump for 30 something years for ducks. Walnut and blued steel. Just take care of it.

 

Have fun ....

Any Good Pump Semi-Auto full or Mod.  easy to take down after a day of hunting, especially around salt water. My 1100 

With all the Hypes on Shotguns for each type of shooting. My 11000 12 Modified 28" has been my main gun for darn 50 years for every type of game. Put just about every Load made through it From Skeet to Slugs with the same results of the dedicated ones.

I  dont have a gun just for ducks, i have 2 over/unders and a browining maxuimas and an SX3 i use them for all  hunting ,   from ducks to Javilenas( even the over/under) ...

Go with the Stoeger M3500. Extremely reliability, versatile and affordable. Every time I pulled the trigger it functioned. It’s essentially a Benelli with a slightly less quality build. But still rugged as anything. I upgraded to a Beretta A400 by still think the stoeger is amazing.

I have a stoeger recently I hsve had some cycling issues but I figured it out. I clean the gun religiously but never pulled bolt assembly apart there was rust built up on the cross bolt that rotates the bolt head. My fault but all in all a awsome gun

Going to give  my shotguns to local kids how have just started hunting and hows famliys have fincial dificaltes. This because all the paper work and cost to send them from Portugal to the States and legales them is a pain and not really worth it,. 

But im thinking  when i get to the states on getting  this one , think it should be good for  Ducks Also  

 

the  CZ-USA Swamp Magnum Over/Under Shotgun   its at a good price range,   comes with 5 chokes and a  3-1/2" Chamber,
