Waterfowler Gun of Choice?

[Beast26]

What is everyone shooting for ducks and geese? What do you like about it and what don't you like? What if any issues have you had with the gun?

I am currently shooting a Beretta Xtrema with a 26" barrel that was dipped in Real Tree Hardwoods at the factory. I have been shooting it for 3 years now and love the gun. The only issues I have ever had with it were user caused - not cleaned and gunked up when it was below zero during the late goose season. It also works as a single shot!

This year I bought a Browning Maxus dipped in Duck Blind but I have yet to shoot the gun so I have no opinion on the gun yet. It's lighter than my Beretta but when you are sitting in a blind the weigh has never bothered me. I am going to go out and pattern it this weekend (before the season starts).

26" barrel?

do you have to wear earplugs?

[Beast26]

nope

I actually like it better than the 28" barrel guns I have. With the way choke tubes are now there is no reason to have a 28-30" barrel

[tracker x-2]

Super x2, 26" barrel and 3" black cloud.

nuff said

[hardwaterfishing]

Super x3, 28" barrel and 3.5" black cloud BBB for geese and 3" 4 shot for ducks.

[Cheetah]

Nothing special here, Remington 870 with 28" barrel and camo tape. Cheap, not afraid to beat it up, and it's a killing machine!

Really don't think 2" makes a noticeable difference in any regard. Especially not with sound. Ported chokes will blow out your buddy's eardrums though on any gun.

Mossberg 935 is my instrument. Cheaper auto, kills birds when I can hit them. Not afraid of beating it up a bit like I would if I had a $1500 ferrari shotgun.

Well then I blow my buddies ear drums because I do have ported chokes (Rhino) and the barrel on my Beretta has been ported (angle port).

Stoger 3" 12 ga auto

3.5" Remington Synthetic Pump 12 gauge 28" barrel mod. choke when Cabela's opened in Rogers, after the rebate like 239 a pop so I got 2. With any gun it's are they in range and are you leading them where you should be. Had a good early goose season, 11 shots 9 geese, I can live with those %'s shooting remington T's and never had to wring a neck ! Stoned em dead.

[Stringerless!]

I got you all beat as far as cheapness goes. Mossberg Maverick model 88 pump .Spraypainted every week to match the color of the marsh. Doubles as a machete and a paddle !

[bisonthunder]

Super Black Eagle 28" = amazing

[Beast26]

Super Black Eagle 28" = amazing

Good gun! I have one but I usually stick to my gas operated guns when shooting load between 1.25 and 1.675 oz. Call me a wimp but I don't like the recoil when shooting a ton.

[gurkster]

Remington 870 here - gets 'er done

[dudewheresmyboat]

Super Black Eagle 28" = amazing

Winchester Super X2 with a patternmaster shooting 3inch 4's for ducks and a Benelli Nova shooting 3.5 2's for the honkers.

I like how fast the Winchester is and how smooth the follow through is and I like how well I shoot with the Nova but I don't like how heavy it is.

[Goldeneye7]

Benelli Super Nova, 26", 3" black cloud. Shoots amazing, very accurate, kicks like nothing, and easy to shoulder.

[BrdHunter01]

870 super mag synthetic stock

[TrophyEyes]

I have a Benelli Nova, shooting 3.5" #2's for just about everything. I also have an M1 I use from time to time, but it is more my pheasant gun.

[tonkapat]

Old browning A-5. Have shot a lot of the new guns and still like this one best.

[fishnhuntnboy]

benelli vinci with 3" 2's. hopefully this will be a deadly combo! New gun for this year! Have to still get out and pattern the gun first.

[Sergio M]

935 Mossberg 28" barrel that is rattle can painted and a extra full Kicks High Flyer choke tube. Gun and choke patterns very well with Kent 3.5" #2's for geese and Kent 3" #4's for ducks. I am hard on equiptment and this gun can take the abuse day in and day out.

[carpshooterdeluxe]

Winchester SX2 1st generation model, patternmaster ext choke. shoot this gun for pretty much all my ducks, geese, and pheasants. also i run a rifled choke in it for mn deer season as well. this gun has been a flat out performer for almost 9 years now, only had to replace 2 small parts in its life time and i am on my 42nd case of shells through it.

I also shoot my Browining Citori from time to time on geese, its a fun gun to shoot when loaded up with 3" wingmaster HD 4's.

[Quackaddict9]

I shoot a Bennelli Nova with a patternmaster ext. choke...tight pattern but they really to kill well! I am going to look into a SBE II next fall.

[buckx37x]

Win. SX2 3" works for me.

[Flag Up!]

3 1/2" Browning Gold.

[LightningBG]

Browning Maxus, 28" barrel, MODB

[Musky Buck]

I'm old so don't take this wrong, but I bought a benelli nova, hated it, but I know it's a good gun but it's made for a dude with longer arms, I stood it up next to my remingtons and the stock is about 2" longer and once I put the layers of clothing on I had a tougher time shouldering it, but I've used a remington wingmaster, 30" barrel in the lead days (80)'s, same through most of the 90's switching though to steel went with the 870express pump, then to the 3.5" remington synthetics. The Nova was tougher to shoulder, that's all because I couldn't clear my clothing in the armpitish area, but easily found a buyer for it. The benelli was plenty smooth, just I felt I was reaching too far and it was messing up the objective of folding bodies.

Benelli Super Nova, 26", 3" black cloud. Shoots amazing, very accurate, kicks like nothing, and easy to shoulder.

I would defenitly agree with that i shoot a Benelli super nova, also with a 26", with realtree apg, lets just say not many ducks or geese get educated when i am shooting the super nova
