LOOKING TO BUY A 20GA AUTO.

[1moa@500]

I am I the market for a 20ga autoloader. It would be for field and skeet use. Where would be the best location to purchase this item? I prefer Beretta autos over Benelli but I would be open to either. I can afford to buy a nice gun my budget would be 2k or less. Any help would be appreciated. I am located in Artesia and would be willing to drive a ways for a deal.

A400 20ga from Pacific Sporting Arms in Azusa.

Thanks I was trying to remember the name of that place. I only wish they made a 20 A300, I'd get 2 of them.

the only A400 that they make in 20g (that I know of) is the A400 action. I have one, it's not bad. very very light. I think it's meant to be a field/hunting gun. Has mounts for a scope. It has a field stock, which is a little low for me.

I wish Beretta would make a target gun in 20g with adjustable comb.

You're a half hour South of PSA. It's worth the drive.

A used 391 is a good gun too, but they're so popular they're hard to find.

I think they make the blue one too. I'm not a fan of the Kick Off system. These guns are so soft shooting to begin with there's no need.

I have had zero problems with my Remington 11-87. It mounts almost automatically (fits really well) and swings really nice. But maybe shooting an 870 for years helped......

Benelli has a stellar line of autoloaders in 20ga. The rental guns at Argentinian dove hunting ranches are predominantly Benelli Montefeltro 20ga - that should tell you something.

The Berettas mentioned are nice as well - a gas gun is a slightly more complex mechanism and requires a bit more maintenance.

My wife has owned a CZ 720 for years. It's a very easy and fun gun to shoot. She recently loaned it out to a friend who wanted to introduce his GF to skeet shooting. His Mossberg 590 12 ga was too much for her 5'2" little-bit-o-nuttin to handle. But the CZ is a sweet shooter, very manageable, she left the field missing only 3 out of an entire round, feeling very successful and grinning from ear to ear. They are also very affordable but are not "cheaply" made. Check them out before dropping a lot more money on not-a-lot more gun.

I have a nice little Weatherby SA-08 that shoots everything , it's light and fast maybe not the gun for 10,000 rounds a year but great to carry looking for grouse

Get on down to PSA. Ask for Jordan.

I prefer the Benelli's over the other brands...my preference. The Monty, Sport II, Legacy, Cordoba. M2. You can add weight to all of them. That said, although I haven't shot one, I kind of like the Beretta 20ga Xplor Action too...but, like most guns, they've had some issues that you won't read about in magazine reviews.

I just had the same choice and bought a montefeltro and the Combo has two stock so it will fit lots of folks if you are loaning it out

Well after looking at several different makes and models i am getting the A400 unico 20ga with a 28in barrel. I tried to like the benelli and even the a300 12ga but the 20 just fit me. Its a llively little gun and my lgs price matched PSA.

I was going to recommend a weatherby sa-08 but you made a fine choice! Can't go wrong with beretta
