Hi Tim, Browning is the best all around shot gun for the novice and for the price, Remington is a little more expensive but worth every penny, Mossberg are probably the best and most expnsive, because they are german, and everybody knows germans are genius. (example:mercedes) ps. son, no man has ever put a scope on a shotgun. the range is not far enough to need one.
Mossbergs are pretty inexpensive and OK quality, a starter gun. The next step would be a remington, and then berettas. I would go for pumpaction or Over-Under if you’re in the lower range – cheap semi’s tend to be cheaply built. OU’s tend to be lightly more expensive, but are more accurate.
You really don’t need a scope unless you plan to use a slug (and even then. . . it’s questionable). I say skip the scope, use
the money to buy a better gun
I said beretta – thinking benelli
You can’t go wrong with either a Mossberg or Remington pump. Either can be found on sale often at Dunham’s, Dicks, Gander Mountain or Sportsman’s Warehouse. If you are slug hunting, a scope is preferred. Modern 20ga slugs are good for 150+ yards. I wouldn’t want to be stuck with factory iron sights at that range.
The Remington Model 870 pump is great in 20 or 12 gauge. It is easier also to mount a scope on an 870 than on say a side-by-side shotgun, even though I have no idea why you would want to mount a scope on a shotgun. The 870 is available in a ‘deer-hunter’ model that comes with a rifled 22″ barrel and rifle sights. This is the model you should consider if you really want a scope on your shotgun. I’m not sure it is available in 20 gauge in this configuration, though. Ask your dealer. Last note: Shotguns with rifled barrel are intended to shoot sabot slugs only. Shot and even plain slugs will just lead the barrel very rapidly.
