Hi all,
I am new to the forum and I am in the market for a new - or used- shotgun. I have grown up using family shared guns (aka dad's guns). These consisted of the Benelli SBEII, Browning BPS, and Remington 1100 (20Gauge, youth model), and Remington 870 ( 20 gauge, youth model). It is time that I start owning my guns separately as I get older. I have had buddies purchase some of these guns that were manufactured in more recent times (2012+) and have been told they aren't "made like they used to" (Remington, Winchester). If this is the case, do you suggest buying one older and used, or do the newer Remington, Winchesters just need to get broken in?
I really like all of them, and probably appreciated the 1100 the most, especially for dove hunts.
If you had to pick one of these, or even had another gun not on this list (for the money, reliability, and versatility), which would you recommend?
Thanks and look forward to your input!
