How much should I pay

I was wrong about make and model. The autoloader is a browning, I can't see a model on it though, it does have the cutter compressor

Does it have a big humpback? Like this?

Yes that's the gun

That's a Browning A-5. A wonderful gun. They can range anywhere from $350 to $1000, depending on age, condition, etc....

If it has a Cutts Compensator on it, it's probably on the lower end of that.

If it's a 16 gauge or a 20 gauge add another hundred to that.

Looks like I'll take the browning for some reason I like it more

Just curious but why is the Remington pump action worth more

this is fascinating, both guns seem in excellent condition - I personally do NOT like the humpback of the Auto 5 but like my auto Win Model 50 - which only holds 3 shells....
I think no matter which gun remains with the other person, she needs training, not just once, but repeated use.

The Rem Wingmaster is a great gun, maybe the favorite of all my shotguns. Probably more of them made than any other shotgun ever. You can buy shorter barrels and different stocks for it. Prices are pretty cut and dry. It is worth more than the 870 Express etc.
The Browning A5 is no picnic to shoot. It recoils pretty hard. Your pictures don't show the tang-whether it is long or short. It is a round knob version. You may want to take it to a reliable shop and get a price on it. A lot of people collect them and you may be able to get a good price for it and buy yourself something a lot more pleasant shoot.

I know, he obviously took very good care of them while he was alive as they have sat in their cases for a little over 13 years. I told her this and offered to take her to a range so she can get instruction there and get to know how a range works so she can practice

I figured the a-5 had more kick based on the recoil suppressor, which is why i reccomended that if she were to sell me one she should keep the remington wingmaster for herself to use for hd and for me to borrow for hunting and clay shooting

I like things that are a challenge so this news makes me want the a-5 even more. I probably would not be able to sell it as it was my gf's fathers and they were very close and she liked to go shooting with him so it would probably hurt her for me to sell it; i would not mind keeping it anyway, my dad and i would have some fun going to loch raven skeet and trap center

I hope she is willing to sell it
