I'm looking for a new/used shotgun for deer/goose hunting with changeable barrels of course. I hear the beretta 391 extrema is good? Is there another but less exspensive? I prefer 3.5" chamber and 28" barrel semiauto. Just need some opinions. Thanks



Gun control is hitting what you aim at!

Winchester SX2 if you think you need the 3.5"
If you thought 3" would be adequate then a Remington 870 combo with both barrels will cost about the same the extra barrel for the 391 or SX2. (maybe even less)
note: I have a dedicated waterfowl SX2 in 3.5" and I like it alot but I shoot 3" hevishot for geese and either 2.75 or 3.0 for ducks. I could manage just fine without the 3.5 chamber. The 391 extrema is nice but pricey. my SX2 was $529 new with black synthetic stocks and I gave it a homemade camo job for another $6.

You could also go with the Mossberg 935 if you want a 3.5" autoloader. Most folks I know use 3" for ducks, geese and turkey.

There are several different autoloaders coming out in 3.5" as well. Winchester (mentioned above) makes one as well as Benelli.

Have a look at the Rem 11-87 Super Magnum if you insist on a semi 3.5" and a rifle sighted barrel. Not cheap though at nearly a grand MSRP. You can get a 21" rifle sighted barrel for $200 though. http://www.remington.com/firearms/shotguns/1187.htm
