I have recently shot a Benelli ethos 12 gauge with a 28-inch barrel. It was literally one of the nicest shooting shotguns I've ever fired. Not sure I want to spend $2,000 on the shotgun at this time but I'm looking for a gun close to that quality but not quite that expensive, is there anything out there. I already have a shotgun for waterfowl this one will be used for Upland game and trap shooting. Any recommendations would be appreciated thank you.

For me an Upland shotgun and Trap shotgun are two very different animals.Comment

Yes, A300 is the best bank for the buck

Wasn't designed for hunting, but my 24" barrel Beretta 1301 Comp is great for upland game. Having to reload constantly with the three round restriction is also a breeze. Mine was just under $1k and is a great all around/multi purpose semi auto.sigpicComment

I can shoot trap just as well with my $600 Mossberg 930 as my friend does with his Beretta A400. And both of us are doing about as well as the retired guy with his alphabet soup break action with walnut burl stock next to us.
What you pay for with more expensive sporting shotguns is better fit and finish, and a marginally more pleasurable shooting experience. And more power to ya if you got the money to spend. I'll have a $5K over-under someday too I'm sure.

Not entirely true, it all depends on usage and expectations.
When I started I bought a $700 CZ, brand new. It worked and told me what I needed to know, I needed a better gun. Before I bought the CZ I had my eyes on a Zoli. Well, if I would have just bought the Zoli up front I could have saved several thousand $$$.
It really boils down to usage and expectations. If you plan to shoot several thousand rounds a year, buy a quality gun up front... it will save you $$$ in the long run.
If you plan for 100 shells every couple months, it's not much of an issue."A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed"Comment

Anyway, i'm partial to Benellis, I have 6. A M1 field is my all time favorite. Built like a tank. M2 is going to serve you well but there are manufuacturing improvements (cost cutting) features that makes them less desirable to me. M2 parts will fit an M1 chassis but not the other way around.
I don't like gas operated semi, they have a funny zing sound and the gas port needs more maintenance.
Good luck, for shotguns cant' beat the Eye Ta Lian.Last edited by tmnguuyen; 08-19-2018, 3:54 PM.Comment
