What to do .... what to do...

[bobzilla]

OK, so for the first time in ...well.... my life I am about to be shotgun-less. OK, I am about to not OWN a shotgun. I also have only a .22 rifle and 3 handguns. I have ~$750 to spend, what do I do?

My original intention was to buy a Rem Mod 11 and make an old-school bad-ass with an extended tube and shortened barrel and parkerize it. The gun I was looking at already sold, so I waited too long.

Option 1.) Buy newer/nicer 12ga semi-auto and add a mag extension/shell holder and buy more ammo for the others.

Option 2.) buy a nice AK for $600, and spend the other money on a skeleton stock/mags/ammo

Option 3.) Buy cheap pump gun, cut it down like I did the other one (15 years ago) and buy a Saiga to convert down the road.

Option 4.) ?????

Thoughts? Ideas? Suggestions? I sold my CAI Golani Sporter some time back, and even though I didn't shoot it much I miss not having a rifle around.

Even though I doubled what I paid for the old Mossy... I'm still regretting selling it.

Buy American, 870.

I'm not buying an 870. I'm a 500 kinda guy.

Option 1. sounds legit.

have you thought about the 930 spx?

 

[bdybdall]

930 spx is way cool but how about an 11-87 and dress it up the way you want it.

One requirement: No pistol grip stocks. "Normal" stock for me. The pistol grip versions all feel really wierd to me.

Im almost positive they make the 930 spx with the standard stock with ghost ring sights

How about a 590 ????? I think that is the model, the MARINES use it, IIRC.....

Benelli Nova Tactical isn't a bad option, if you can find a good price on a used one.

I picked up mine a few years ago, and paid about $290 for it. I liked it so much, I bought another Nova (standard model with a 24" barrel for skeet shooting). The prices have kind of gone pretty high on the Benelli's though.

I have a Mossberg 590A1 that I'm pretty fond of.

 

[churchmouse]

I have a 930 with the ghost ring sights and my son has a 930 with the breecher barrel. They both run like mad.

I second the vote on the Benelli Nova. You can really get a good deal on one of those, and Carlson's makes barrels for it now, so you don't have to pay $400 for a Benelli replacement.
