    What shotgun do you like for duck hunting?

    Starting another thread about choice in shotgun. I'll start by saying I like my semi-auto Benelli Vinci. I would pick it over a pump because you can apparently get 3 (or is it 4) shots off in 1 second, though I can't remember ever firing off that many shots.

    The only one I have. An old reliable and inexpensive 12 gauge pump Mossberg! Once I get into it more I'll probably look at something new.

    I second the reliable/inexpensive, but mine is an Remington 870. I have a matte blued barrel and it needs to be dried and oiled asap after being in the field. I'm looking at getting a semi-auto soon, just not sure which one yet. Been watching the ads for Cabelas and BassPro to see if something interesting comes up.

    Yeah, all I need is money! Or a really, really, really good sale! And I'll be all over a nice semi-auto! lol

    I think I saw some decent ones on sale in the last couple of months. Yeah, the Benelli was on sale when I grabbed it, but they semi-autos can get up there. However, I'd love to pick up an over/under now, but the nicer ones of those are $1500 on the low end. A couple of times I was tempted by the Cabela's Winchester 101 at $999, but have walked away.

    Winchester SX3 and a SX2 for back up and a browning BPS to back them up.

    Mossy 500 and mossy 535... I dropped my 500 in four ft of swamp picked it up checked barrel and hunted... Completely disassembled cleaned oiled and reassembled, not the first bit of rust. The 535 is really light and kicks like a mule with a 3.5" load. I usually just use 3" #3 blackcloud or #4 Winchester

    So far everyone seems to have different shotguns. Any opinions on over/unders for duck hunting?
