[QUOTE="ez bake, post: 937980, member: 229"] C'mon guys - Budman-Bill wasn't asking for a gun to compete with. The gun he listed was a semi-auto that was in the $400 range. I don't personally have anything against what Kurt or anyone else has to say with respect to what works when thousands and thousands of rounds are put through it, but for a HD gun that you won't compete with (and quite frankly 90% of shooters on this board who will shoot it less than 100rds), I'd say that a Remington 11-87 is fine. I duck hunt with my 11-87 Premier and it has seen well more than a thousand rounds and has been wet and dirty enough that I didn't think it would work - and yet it kept on working with no issues at all. I keep it clean and maintain it regularly and haven't had to replace a single part on it and I'm the second owner (the first owner got it wet and didn't maintain it very well as it had quite a bit of rust on it when I got it). If you're looking for a HD gun in Semi-Auto, then I'd look at Remington before I went to Mossberg (in the semi-auto department) simply because I know it works and its proven itself over time as a very reliable design for the price (really, very little change in design over the 1100). If you want a pump, I personally like the Winchester 1300 Defender, but there are other pumps to be had for less I suppose. If you plan on competing, get an FN or Benelli but there's absolutely nothing wrong with trusting your life to a Remington if you don't plan on shooting it for more than 10,000 rounds. [/QUOTE]
