duck shotgun

[cummins diesel power]

What make model shotgun do you all kill your duck's with.
I use a steven's/savage model 311 side by side 12 gauge
I've had since i was 13. get's the job done. fine dove gun too

[Whitebear]

Cant go wrong there. I am a fan of the side by guns. I used to hunt with a Fox 12 Ga side by. Used it for all my shotgun chores except Quail. Loved that old gun. Had a reproduction Side By el cheapo something in .410 Cal I used to hunt Quail with.

i shoot a remington 1100..........and i love it

[Hogheaven]

Im in the salt marshes... I like a disposible gun, Maverick88. 150 bucks from academy and if it breaks, gets rusty, dents, drops in marsh... its no big deal.

remington 1100, if i remember that's a semi auto right? my friends dad has
a remington 20g 1100. I wanted to buy it but my friend said he probably wouldn't.
the thing i like about doeble barrels is your barrels have different chokes so u can shoot long or
short range

[sberryman]

I prefer old school I use 2 different guns 1 is a 1903 12ga Belgium browning auto 5 and the other is my grandfathers 1897 Winchester 12ga. pump
sometimes I just need to feel connected to the past I know where my roots are

[michael kenty]

get a benelli nova

[rost495]

Salt I generally run a cheaper pump and keep it hosed down.

Fresh I run a well worn 11-87.

In the AM our TX duck season opens, and its the first season without a friend, I will, in his honor, take his 101 Win out in the morning. I hope I do it right.

I shoot Remington's also. I know the new Beretta's and Benelli's are real nice guns. But I'm just partial to the remington. Still shooting a Rem. 1100 12Ga that I got when I was in the ninth grade. that was almost 40 years ago. I bought a Rem 3200 over/under about 5 years after that, still killing Ducks with that too. And about 3years ago I bought a Rem 1187. Its got different screw in chokes and shoots 2 3/4, 3, and 3 1/2 in shells. But I just leave the mod. choke in and shoot the same loads every season. If it works for you, why change.

I like my old 22 long rifle with rat shot!!!! makes it more sportin!!!!!!

[cummins diesel power]

^ lol, that wouldnt even reach them

[Rich Andrews]

that would be illegal, and i would have to call you in on that one,or make a citizens arrest

[belly_up]

i shoot a rem1187 and it sucks. Constantly jamming and i didnt even have it all last season because it was in the shop. I try to clean it after every weekend/hunt but it still jams. If i had the money i would be shooting a beretta but cant afford it right now.

[rost495]

I almost suspect its the fact that its the super mag 11-87, my regular one never missed a beat while the ones Richard and them used, benelli whatever all bit the dust at flag pond at one time or another.....

Maybe you need to run 500 rounds through the gun first?

I know that they like warm ammo, and need to be kept clean and wet though.

[Quackcephus]

I cut my teeth shootin' an 870 Wingmaster & then when steel shot became madatory I went to an 870 Super Mag. After 30 some odd years shootin' a pump gun & I switched to a Benelli SBE II.

I never had a problem with any of the Remingtons or the Benelli, but the SBE II sure does shoot a lot faster & without all the recoil.

[goldhunter_2]

I like the 1100 I got as a kid but my son has claimed it now I shoot a Charles daily


sberryman man your swinging a A-5 and a model 12 that is some nice iron

[gatorfrog2]

Mossberg 950 Magnum w/ Patternmaster choke 3"-3" 1/2" # 2's & 4's... ...or 20ga. 1100 LT. model ,or oveerunder Rem. Spartan made in Russia...2 3/4 and 3'' # 4s. when I'm feeling sporty!! But I can always count on the Winchester 12oo pump. stock mod. barrell. 2's and 4's in 2 3/4". All guns are hunted in salt too.....Just keep them oiled and cleaned after every hunt!!!.....or painted w/Rustolum Flat Black.

Benelli M2 with the original patternmaster. I'm totally down with using a cheaper pump in the salt but I'm too crappy of a pumper and constantly jammed shells and got tired of the kick. The M2 does not shoot 3-1/2 loads, but If the hunting is slow heavi shot will go farther than I'm able to aim anyway. I love that gun. It's real light with very little kick. I'd sleep with it but my wife gets jealous. Additionally, I've had no problem with corrosion, but I am diligent about wiping it down, flushing the action with gun scrubber, then being fairly liberal with the rem oil. If you get a chance, shoulder an M2 sometime. I think anyone would really enjoy how light it is.

[NotAGuide]

When hunting ducks, semi-auto all the way. Benelli M2's are awesome guns and if camo dipped will hold up to a harsh saltwater environment better than most. After hunting with both Benelli's and Berretta Extrema's, I prefer the Extrema hands down. Its a little heavier than the M2 and SBE but fits me better and has less recoil. Theres still a few 1st gen Extema's floating around under $900 which is $500-600 less than the SBE2.
