View Full Version : Shopping for my first shotgun
I have always wanted to own a shotgun and now having shot one of my friends recently I'm itching to get one. I have only just started to do my research on them and would love to hear any tips or feedback from shotgun owners. I'm not trying to get anything super fancy, but obviously I don't want garbage. Just something fun to get started with.

a few things to consider first...
-what do you want to use it for?
-then, what gauge? 12 is most popular, but 20 fits alot of people as well.
-then, find one that fits your budget and body.
-find a couple to shoot if you can.
for example, a whole lot of people here love the mossberg 500, i dont but its simply because i dont like the safety location, you have to make your own decisions.

Just get a Remington 870 and you could buy different barrels, chokes, forends, flashlights, etc. to suit your fancy.
