Frist New shotgun
Well it has happened,
[8D][&:] After 3 years of shooting the winter sheet/trap shoot in Spokane,WA. (it' s cold around here that time of year). I' m on the team with my
father inlaw, we one 1st for fiveman team doubles all stations. Got a birthday card (b-day not in tell Aug.) Pick any one shotgun, the card also included catalogs for Ruger, Stoeger and Franchi. I like 12 ga., but what brand, barrel length ect.

RE: Frist New shotgun
well I can' t tell you what gun is the best, but you need to check around and hind out what you like the best. I have a superX2, and 1300 winchester. Both are great guns and winchester stands behind there product real well. it also depends on what you will doing with the gun.

RE: Frist New shotgun
Nice job Brett!
The most important thing is that you find a gun that fits YOU. Makes all the difference!
If I was going to be mostly shooting clays, I would buy an over and under. Easier to save your hulls for reloading with one of them.
I don' t like the Rugers because the safety is on every time you close it. I believe the Franchi is the same way. A Citori of Beretta would be real nice though.
If I was going to use for clays and hunting birds or whatever I would buy an autoloader. My first two picks would be a Benelli Montefeltro or a Beretta 391 Sporting Gold.
Barrell length is all preference I think. I like 26 or 28.
Happy shooting!

Ruger use to and probably still does.For a small charge they will change the safety on the Red Label to manual instead of automatic safeties. My first Red Label I had it done back in the early 80' s.
Ruger Redhawk
