    With ya on that one! an old M1 which I have seen for $1500 is 100x the gun compared to those knock of stoegers etc.

    Quality is appreciated long after the price is forgotten.

    Brought my first ever shotgun on the weekend, got it as a fun gun, otherwise I would have gone mad trying to look at every single brand and model.
    Got me Mossberg Maverick 88 20inch barrel $399 new, can't wait to get it out and shooting, sill going google eyes over the ammo so many combos to choose from
    Grouchy Smurf had it right all along...

    Mossberg 500 pump. Lube it up good and it'll last forever and go like a $2 hooker on sailors pay day.



    Though I tried a Beretta 686 at the hunting and fishing shoot at Hutt Valley club last weekend. Got to be honest... I liked it. A lot.

    I recently bought one of the Winchester Black Shadow pumps, damn good price at 499. Didnt see them mentioned though in the last H&F mag so maybe no more availiable.

    Used a Rem 1100 (which was 2nd hand 40yrs ago) and it's still my favourite for pheasants (only 2 3/4"). Bought a Rem 1187 when steel came in, and shoot fine with it. I won a Browning Silver Stalker at a duckshooters shoot, and it is more reliable, but I just don't seem to shoot as well with it. It shoots high for me, and I should really get that sorted out. If I could afford it, I would love a nice SBS ou U/O from one of the big names. Was thinking about a 20g, but recent comments on this forum re F&G regs has dissuaded me.

    Buy it and F&G be damned, I did and its my favorite. Only reason I will be buying a 12g is Sporting clays and purely cause 12g ammo is cheaper, no other reason.
    All those with dogs waiting no longer fear death. Those with many dogs waiting even welcome it in it's time.

    Your Stalker may have come with some shims which will change the drop for you. If you're seeing too much rib, you might be able to fix that with the right shim.
    10MRT shooters do it 60 times, in two directions and at two speeds.

    And yet a Stoeger served me really well as a full time rabbiting gun.
    A mate has a flash snotgun, real flash. But the checkering is a bastard cause it's so sharp.....
