Spectre 21 Report post Posted February 24, 2010 Hey, looking to buy a semi-auto 12 ga for some Duck/Geese Hunting. Have been looking at the Remington 11-87 Sportsman Camo with 3" chamber. Anyone know other quality guns I should be looking at? (Nothing cheap or crazy expensive middle of the road type stuff) Thanks Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wampa 18 Report post Posted February 28, 2010 I personally would not by a semi auto for geese/ducks. I find they tend to jam frequently when you are in the nasty muck and weather. I have a Benelli Supernova that has seen some really sticky muddy fields (northern Saskatchewan gumbo). The gun was fithly and didn't jam once, yet my friend in the hole next to me with his Remington semi-auto (not sure which model) was jamming all the time. I used to have a Remington 870 pump and that was a good reliable gun too. Quote Never hold your farts in.They travel up your spine into your brain, and that is where crappy ideas come from.

Yeah thanks, I decided to keep my Remington 870 Wingmaster as a spare if the new gun ever jams. However i decided to go with a Remington Model 11-87 Sportsmen 3-1/2” Super Magnum Waterfowl Semi Auto Shotgun - Camo. Shoots very nicely and hasn't jammed at all with anything from 2 3/4 - 3 1/2 shells... Can't wait for some duck/goose hunting this fall! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Report post Posted May 27, 2010 Yeah but a pump is no good if you don't clean it in like 20 years. (That is directed to fishleclair's gummy 870) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
