Hi,
I'm thinking of upgrading from pump to semi. I was looking at the current offerings of Beretta A400, Browning Maxus, and Benelli SBEII. While nice, I don't really need to spend $1300 on a semi.
Next was the Winchester SX3 at the $1k mark which has very favourable reviews.
But then I was wondering if the older 11-87 premiers would work just as good. The gas system is older and uses O-rings, but they're pretty handsome shotguns and are steel receivers.
For upland, clays, and waterfowl, would you still recommend a 11-87 Premier in 2014 or would it be a waste of time? They run around $600 in my area for very good condition.
Newer guns are lighter, more reliable with a variety of loads, but are they worth the bigger difference in price?
