WTB 12 Gauge Semi Auto Which one?

[FastC5]

I am looking to buy a 12 gauge semi auto that will mostly be used for trap and dove hunting. I alredey have a remington 870 pump and my grandfathers stevens side by side. I want something that I could put a lot of shells through and won't be a wall mount. I don't want anything tactical but I do like the synthetic look ( I am a carpenter and can't stand when wood gets scuffed up). I have been told that the bennelli is the way to go but I would like to spend less than a grand and possibly around the 700-800 range but if there really isn't anything worth buying I guess I will just have to wait and save for the benelli. Thanks

Mossberg 930. From what I hear, they are affordable and reliable.

Beretta has a really nice model for around 700 to 800. It would be my second choice after a Benelli. 3901 Extrema I think is the model number. I think it's an all weather gun.

no reason you could not get a used benelli for the price you are looking for

Browning Gold or old school Browning A-5....Love'm

Remington 1100 or 1187 Make sure what ever you get has changeable chokes.

Winchester Super X2 is my preferred sub 1K semi-auto - smoother than the Remington...

+1 on the Gold.. you can occasionally find them in the $750 range.. I've used mine for hunting, clays, and action shooting for going on 10 years.. I love the speed feed function that no other gun save the auto-5 gives you..
