![]() For the most part, this is quality pumps. I want guns I can afford and that do what I ask of them. ![]() ![]() If money were no object, I would shoot nothing but Italian autos and fine O/Us, but that is not the case. More parts simply means more things to go wrong. My duck gun is a Benelli Nova that costs about 1/4 of what the Super Black Eagle costs, and as good as the SBE is, it will malfucntion more often than my Nova. Whether you are comparing bargin guns or Europe's finest, a pump costs less than an auto of the same quality and is more reliable. In general, I prefer pumps because you can get more gun for your money. Maybe someday I will be lucky enough to own half the guns I want. Ideally, you would have a pistol grip 3 1/2" 12 ga with a scope for turkeys, a sleek O/U that points as naturally as your finger for skeet, and half a dozen other shotguns for various tasks. ![]() That being said, it is not the BEST gun for anything. It does very well shooting fast flying doves, decoying ducks, arrogant toms, and infurating clays. It can handle 3" magnum turkey loads as well as the lightest target loads with ease. A Remington 870 with a 26" barrel is a fantastic all around gun. The biggest question is what is your price range.
