The V3 is hopefully gonna be the gun to bring American shotguns back. All the reviews have been good. If they make a light version it will help sales.

I'm a big fan of SX3's, own four of them. When I decided to get a dedicated turkey gun I went with a SA-459 Turkey. It ticked all of the boxes for me and I've been pleased with it.

I've got a BNIB BPS 10 GA 24" bbl I'll sell you. The only down side is that it's blued and walnut.

Watched my father drop a triple on passing coots with a 458win magbolt action with 410 shotshells loaded in brass cases.

He wrote a piece about it in one of the mags of the day...

My son just got a Stoeger M3500 on Saturday. Pretty nice gun for the money. Very similar to my SBE. Ran some light loads and patterned it for turkey. Just another option...

You have to shoulder a couple different shotguns to get the one that fits you best.

The most important thing to look for in a waterfowl gun is to make sure you can shoot your hunting partner's shells in it.

If you're looking for a multiple role shotgun to use on geese & home defense I'd highly recommend a 870. Parts, barrels, and gun protectants are cheap to keep it running & looking good.

I'd also recommend running some Hevi-Shot or Kent Tungsten Matrix #2's or 4's and you'll be stacking the geese. I've had tremendous success running high density loads 1-2 shot sizes smaller opposed to premium steel BBB and BB.

I shouldered the SX3 today again and like the way it feels, still waiting to try out a Beretta. Think I have it narrowed down? Stay tuned.

I've been a little lax as far as any amount of waterfowl hunting is concerned. Still have my AYA SxS 10ga. 3 1/2" magnum.

My vote would be for a Remington 11-87 12 ga. with a 30" Full choke bbl and a 3' Chamber. Then pick up a 26' bbl for around the house. I have hunted Canada's for almost 30 years with either an 1100 or a 11-87. Both are awesome and reliable. The 11-87 can handle almost any loads, while the 1100 couldn't handle light loads. You also could get an 11-87 with the Remchoke system. Then you should have yourself covered


Better to be over the hill than under it.
