I?m buying my first shotgun, up until this point I?ve used my uncles old SKB 12 gauge pump. I don?t have a lot of money to spend and need to keep it around $600 or less. I hunt pheasant, grouse, duck and might go after geese once a year. Because of the waterfowl and the budget, I was thinking I?d end up with a better gun by not looking at an O/U. So right now I?m looking at the Stoeger 3500 but I wanted to see if others had suggestions on other guns I should be looking at.
