This is my Benelli M2. Its all standard apart from the sling. I use it for clay shooting every week maybe 100-150 clays, and for hunting too. It never goes wrong, never jams , it really is a very very good gun.

I also own a Mossberg 500, when I want to ruin my aim I swap between guns and it takes me weeks to get back to normal scores. I should sell the Mossy, but I never will, I love both guns :)
 
Hey Rembrandt:

That bottom gun has the features of a "Diana" grade. Too flashy for the Pidgeon's I've seen. The elaborate Engraving and high finished Stock is comparable to the "Diana". Does it have a duck scene on the side that's showing in the picture? I can't make it out. If it is, and F Marechal's signature is in the bottom left under the swimming duck its Probably a Diana grade valued at $6grand +.

I could be all wet, but it sure looks like one.
 
Wish it were Diana grade, but it's not. Diana has much deeper cut engraving and are stunning. These pics are not quite as good, they show the two Pidgeons in the center. Wouldn't be suprised if the wood is an upgrade when built, haven't seen to many with that much figuring.

Here are my mostly-plain Jane shotguns. Nothing anywhere near as fancy as Rembrandt (who, quite often, makes me jealous)

My GOD, Rembrandt, don't look a gift horse in the mouth! LOL! I can only dream about such beauty in a shotgun. My budget allows me working guns, but frankly, I wouldn't take one of those superposed guns anywhere, but dove hunting. Taking one to the salt marsh should be a crime punishable by death. LOL

PTK, what's that coach gun you got there third from the top? It sure seems to have some pretty wood on it.
 
It's supposedly a run of the mill Stoeger Coach Gun, but it has the nicest wood of any I've seen yet. Not bad for the same ol' $300 as the rest of the coach guns!

Only pic I've got handy...Remington Model 11, 30" Full...when you really need to reach out and touch someone...
 
My only pretty one. Other than this I have 2 870s, one stock with a turkey choke and the other a Police model. One Ithaca 37 police trade in that is my favorite. This one is a made in 1900 Win 1897 in 16ga, the first year 16 ga was on the market.

Wow, a Stoeger. Looks a lot better'n the wood on my Spartan! I think that stock blank might have made its way to the wrong assembly line some how. :D Kinda looks out of place on a coach gun, LOL!
 
Nice stick Stretch. Tell me more. What kind of stock is that and how do you like it?

Mesa Tactical LEO stock. Might want to look at the Enidine if you are going to get a Mesa. Recoil buffer is supposed to be pretty good. Also, Uncle Mikes mag/flashlight clip, Inova X5 with a recoil battery ( one solid battery instead of 2 ), blue LEDs, heatshield from John Masen, and EZ sling from http://www.slingsystems.com/. The blue LEd works wonders inside, and next to red, is the best for night vision, and does wonders with contratss at night and in low light conditions. Used to use a COAST blue LED to do building sweeps on alarm response. Has momentary which casn be actuated with my index finger, and can be switched on with a flick of same. Pistol grips help reduce felt recoil.

After that is practice and range time, when I can afford it.
 
870-1.jpg
This is a typical Remington 870Police, Knoxx recoil reducing stock and rear grip, with power pak, ATI front grip. 18.5 barrel, cyl bore, rifle sights w/ gruglows, Wilson +2, super sling and a Mesa Tach side saddle. If I can find one, I want to try a original Rem folder.
 
Here's mine:

From left to right, excluding my deer rifle:
Mossberg Maverick 88 pump, Mossberg 835 Ulti-Mag pump, Remington Spartan single shot.

Out of the group, I use the Maverick the most. Even though the 835 is a "better" shotgun, the Maverick has sentimental value as being my very first gun. Also, I replaced the black synthetic furniture with Moss 500 wood that I ordered from Havlin... great people, by the way. Excellent customer service.
 
Though I might through my slug gun in with the mix.
Lots of custom work done (pad, flutted, trigger job, bed forend, mill scope base, teflon coat, etc.) and it's a shooter too. 10 shots from 5 diff brands of sabot in 2" at 100yds. 3 part. gold in <1" at 100yds! Ziess 3x12x56 30mm on it not shown in pic.
