New shotgun for deer/bird hunting

jmike1487 · Oct 30, 2015

Hello all,

I m looking to get bird and deer hunting and I would like to buy a shotgun combo that can be used for both. I know it would probably be easier to buy two different guns but I do have limited space in my safe. I prefer Mossberg over Remington if that helps with suggestions. Thanks in advance!

Check with the IPs,you can probably find one local for less $$ and save on shipping/transfer too.

I was gonna wait till this weekend and check out the York show. See if I could get a deal up there. Quick question for you though. I'll send it via a PM.

Does that gun have screw in chokes on the 28" barrel?
I would definitely get a gun that allows you to change chokes if you want one gun to do everything.

I'm not sure about that. And yes that would be a requirement to me purchasing that shotgun. I'm gonna need to do some more research.

Remington is twice the shotgun Mossberg is. IMHO of course.

Bird barrel.

Deer barrel.

Done.

I have found I grossly prefer Mossbergs to Remingtons. I bought My Mossy 500 combo for $299 around black friday at a local shop. Wait and some deals are around the corner.

BTW my combo came with a smooth bore with chokes and a rifles barrel. The rifled barrel is INSANELY accurate. Its actually one of the most accurate guns I own! Three shots touching at 100 yds, no prob. Pretty good for a shotgun.

For hunting, I'd prefer the Remington over the Mossberg. The Mossberg's pump rattles a LOT, the Remington's make very little noise when carrying. I've carried both in the woods, I'll take the R over the M.

That is a mighty fine price for a gun and two barrels.

I picked up several Mossberg shotguns at gun shops way back in the day. Each one took three mules and a running start to open the action.

Then went around and handled several Remington's. Pushed the action release and the action began to open under its own weight. Smooth as butta. SOLD!

I do like the receiver/tang safety that Mossberg shotguns have.
