Moving to 88 acres in the county, will have some turkey, dove and duck hunting available. I have quality AR15s but only a home defense 12 gauge.
I'm not into $1,000+ shotguns, I'd like to stay in the $500-$800 range if possible. I think I'd prefer a semiauto if possible. I've looked at Stoger and a Remington V3. |

Remington Versa Max Sportsman. ~$800 shipped on Gun Broker.
I love the Versa Max action. Fast, reliable, and soft recoiling. But truthfully, I don't know the difference between the VM and the V3... Either way, I can say from experience you can't go wrong with the VM. |

Have you considered buying a $100 used hunting bbl for your existing pump? <snip> Is the aluminum receiver in the beretta going to stand up over time? Yes. I have some aluminum recievered Beretta semi auto shotguns that I purchased in the mid 90s that have over 100k rounds through them. I replace the wear parts (hammer braces, extractor and extractor pins and springs, firing pins and springs, recoil springs, connecting rods) when needed; the receivers are fine. And the earliest that I have ever had to replace a wear part is a connecting rod in the 390/391 series, at about 7500 rounds. |

Can you point me to a reference for the date codes?
Thanks Edit: found an easy link - Rem Date Codes |

Quoted:
11-87 Gunbroker biggest drawback is the damn rubber O-rings in the gas system. They always seem to fail at the worst possible time. Usually not an issue if shooting magnum loads(actually, I shot a lot of magnums through one I bought used without an O-ring before I knew there was supposed to be one) but with anything lighter, if you break one you'll know it the next trigger pull. |
