FIRST shotgun purchase; Would like to talk some things over with the "pros"

[Charlie1]

I have had mine for about a year now and love it. You can pick one up without spending a small fortune. It also comes with five chokes,shims,and spacers so how can go wrong!

My opinion is Pump Action. A Browning BPS is what I shoot and love it! The one and only downside is that is a tad heavy.

I think the guys are right. Don't start with a semi. You can get a good used 870, I'm not sure that I can recommend all their new ones. I have an old corn cob style one I bought used in 1970 and it was old then. It has just needed a new firing pin in all those years ($1.50) and it is still knocking them down.

Forget about 3.5" shells too, they will just keep you poor.

The best advice I ever got was "forget about the next shot, hit it with the first shot", swing hard and aim for the bill.

I have a Stoeger too it fits me fine but my wife doesn't like it she shoots an old A5.
