I sold my Benelli Nova about a year ago, and I am foolishly shotgun-less. In that same time, I have picked up the love of blasting clays while using friend's guns. Now I am beginning the search for a new 12 gauge, and my brain is racking.
My question is this...I want a shotgun that is just as comfortable next to my bed as it is knocking orange discs our of the sky. I am open to all opinions. I have also picked up an expensive love for autoloaders, but I'm not suck on either pump or auto.
I have recently thought that something like a used benelli m1 practical could fit the bill, but they are $$$$. Should I maybe think about buying something like a police 870, then buying a 24" barrel? I know that with something like a benelli nova, new barrels can cost almost as much as a new shotgun.
Basically, I'm just fishing for opinions. Unfortunately, I don't think something like a Stoeger coach gun could blast clays very well, and I don't want to have to investigate something in my hosue in the middle of the night with a 26" barrel.
Thanks!
