Ok which shotgun

[Rob454]

Ok so I am gonna get another shotgun

The choices are

Escort

Or

Stoeger


I want to get one that has the two barrels long and short for both bird and turkey semi auto with a realtree type of cammo OR the walnut stocks. I cant stand the black plastic stocks. Just makes it look cheap.

Throw some choices at me. I am probably gonna have to order the shotgun from a local store and i am either gonna do it this week or next week. Read both good and bad abotu both guns but truthfully i shot both guns that people I know have and none ever reported any problems.

Shotgun will be used for upland game maybe some duck and turkey for sure so the interchangeable barrel would be nice.

A pump action is not really a option cause I basically made up my mind. not looking for HD this is strictly for hunting. the 3 1/2 inch chamber models i can either take it or leave it. it would be nice to have the option but its not a necessity. I have 6 boxes of 3 1/2 steel shot I never used cause I bought them tyhinking they were 3 inch and I got home and aw s*8t cant return it.
So which sound better stoeger or Escort.

Stoeger= Benelli. But for myself I'm buying a Weatherby SA-08.

Between those two, I would go with the Stoeger.

Are you stuck between these two guns? If not, what is your budget? I have shot a Stoeger and with 3" shells, it kicked like a mule. I can't imagine shooting a 3 1/2" though that gun.

Shooter

Not really stuck on these two guns to the point where its these or nothing. I am leaning to the Stoeger though. I just take my guns in the field and actually use them for other than the range so I don't really want to buy a $12-1500 shotgun to drag through brush.
My budget is not set in stone. i find something I like better or feels nicer/better/faster/stronger I may go that route. I may not like the Stoeger and may go back to my over under ( if its not sold by then) or go back to my pump shotgun. just wanted to try something different and i looked up Stoeger and they seem to be made by benelli and I had shot a few at the range thanks to a few guys who had stoegers and Escorts and they offered to let me shoot theirs cause I offered to let them shoot my over under. Besides if I buy a basic shotgun I wont be out a ton of money if I decide to sell it because i don't like it.

As for kick my Mossberg 500 or my Over under seems to kick a lot harder to me

My vote is stoeger

As most people can see from most of my shotgun posts, I am a HUGE Beretta fan. My first shotgun was a Beretta auto and I have hunted upland and waterfowl and shot trap, 5 stand, trap, skeet and sporting clays with it. I have shot 2 3/4" 7/8 oz loads through 3" 1 1/4 oz loads without a hiccup.

I would recommend checking out the Beretta A3901. It is built on the Beretta 390 action and you can get it in synthetic for around $599. It is a bullet proof gun and if you decide to sell it, it would be worth more than the Escort or Stoeger.
