[QUOTE="ProBusiness, post: 1276622, member: 6145"] Beretta makes a 390, 3901, and 391 urika plus newer models. I have them and they shoot great. I have 1100s and they shoot great. A semiauto can have a problem with jamming if you are shooting very, very light target loads and the gun is not designed to handle them, then it won't cycle. The same is true for very heavy hunting loads. But if you are shooting middle of the road loads with a 1100 or 1187 then it will handle them. My Berettas will handle my reloaded 7/8 ounce target loads and a 3" 1 7/8 heavy turkey load with no adjustments. But we are talking the extreme ends of your demands on a shotgun. Beretta has a 3901, synthetic gun for around $400 - $600, i did not know what the current price is but i got one a few years ago new for $399. I do believe it could be your all around gun. A quality name brand shotgun for $500 is a good deal. You will probably not have to spend another dime on fixing them. But, I know guys that have tried to save a little buying off brand name guns, but remember any fix that requires a gunsmith and you are looking at starting at $100, so add that possibility to the cost of a cheaper gun. Plus you do not know when it will break. Like the guys said, remington 1100, 1187, beretta 390, 3901, 391 have been around for a LONG time and guys are still using them. I shoot registered skeet - you will see remingtons 1100, 1187 and beretta in the semi-auto, not much else, and i am talking about shooting 500 rounds a weekend, several weeks a year, year after year plus thousands of practice rounds a year. There is a reason you see these guns being used - they keep working. You can probably find a 1100 or 1187 with a fixed modified choke for around $300. you can hunt pretty much everything with it, a little strong for quail but where are there any quail, and even shoot skeet, trap, so worth. A skeet choke would be better for skeet but if you do not shoot that much, just shoot it with a modified and enjoy. when you get more money buy a barrel with screw in chokes. they run $80 - $180.
