So I am needing a new shotgun for mostly coyote hunting and want to upgrade to a semi-automatic and one that has provisions for mounting some type of sights (read: drilling and tapped).
A Stoeger m3500 in black will set me back about $550. A SBE III will be north of $1700. Is there enough difference to notice it? Is there $1100 worth of difference?
What about barrel length. I am thinking 24" but even Cabelas doesn't catalog either of them in this length.
