lunker 274 Posted November 1, 2013 Get something you won't mind getting wet. Extra fancy grade wood is out. You probably want a gun with a 3" chamber that can handle 2 3/4" and 3" shells. If you want an autoloader, look at the Remington 11-87 or Mosssberg 930. If you want a pump, a REM 870 or Mossberg 500 would be a good bet. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lunker 274 Posted November 1, 2013 You can always go higher end too. Look at Beretta, Remington Wingmaster, Winchester autoloaders are sweet. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
heaterbob 53 Posted November 2, 2013 Mossberg 935 takes 3 and 3 1/2 inch shells. got mine in duck blind camo Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DaddyNick 408 Posted November 3, 2013 something with synthetic stock. 26-28" barrel. handle a few to see what feels good to YOU in YOUR hands. I prefer Mossberg gun b/c the safety is on top where I can engage it with my thumb. just a matter of what feels good for you. Nick Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MosinRob 1 Posted November 7, 2013 I use a remington spartan, winchester ranger 120, and a mossberg 535. It depends on what i'm hunting and where im hunting. All have a 28" barrel. They all can be found at minimal expense and will kill waterfowl all day. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DeerSlayer 241 Posted November 8, 2013 I'm looking to purchase a shotgun. Does anyone have shotgun recommendations specifically for duck hunting?I bought the Browning Maxius in duck blind camo. Beautiful gun light weight 2-3/4"-3-1/2" auto loader, magazine stop lever, rubberized outter coating, every thing you could ever want in a waterfowl gun. A little expensive when you compare it to a Mossberg or a Remington but money well spent on a much better quality semiauto, specifically built for waterfowl. Makes my 935 look like a piece of junk. That was a tax return for me a few years ago when it came out, had it on order before they were released. Sent using Tapatalk 2 NOW FREE!!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Scorpio64 5,163 Posted November 8, 2013 The 870 is the standard waterfowler with the mossy 500 as a very close second. I'd say get an 870 but they are not making them like they used to. I bought my 870 Express in the mid 80's and it's a rock solid workhorse. The newer ones are tough but not as tough. If you can find an older lightly used 870 express with a 28" barrel, that would be ideal. If you can spend a little extra money then consider a Savage O/U. They are not all that expensive and a pretty good value for what you get. The O/U is superior to a pump action in many ways but not too many hunters want to drag a $1,500 to $2,500 shotgun through the mud. A new Savage O/U can be had for well under $600. Hunting upland game or waterfowl with an O/U is just so much better than with a pump but a good pump will definitely do the job. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
