I have a buddy who started duck hunting with me and is addicted. He wants a cheap started shotgun as we are pretty hard on them. I've seen plenty of new duck hunters start with a Benneli SBE which I think is silly. 10 years ago I would have told him to go to Walmart or Academy and buy an 870 for $200. Now, Walmart doesn't sell guns in Jacksonville and Academy doesn't have any guns.
What do you all think is a readily available starter shotgun at a cheap price price?
And 10 years later, you can buy an 870 off one of the gun sites for $495-$595. Same shotgun, few starters will be it's equal at that price.
