Are any of you familiar with the Remington 11/87, which I believe is made overseas?
It's made in the US, but not in a way that would get me to buy it. Get the Mossberg 930 instead, for a US-made semiauto.
If you can find a "Wal-Mart Beretta 390", also at Cabela's, Bass Pro or similar, sometimes, that's probably my top choice for value. The Mossberg 930 is a great choice as well, as is the Beretta 3901 (more money). All of these guns have the caveat "if you can find one"... But that does say a lot for their value. People snatch them up.
If you want a semiauto you will not feel like replacing, just suck it up and get a Beretta 391. Look for holiday sales. I picked one up, NIB, in walnut, for $800 a couple months ago at a local sporting goods chain store. The synthetic/matte version goes for $850-900 regularly, though, and is just as good.
The new Browning Maxus is supposed to be a good all-around gun, but it's quite pricey. Ditto for the SX3.
