    When I was shopping around it was hard to find a selection of under over to try in my price range, however I settled on the Webley Scott 912k good fit off the shelf.
    Nothing too fancy, and I’m sure it shoots straight, can’t say much about the shooter I probably scare off more ducks than dropping them, but it’s all about the fun.
    Grouchy Smurf had it right all along...

    See the thing is
    Why does it have to be New?
    I'm no expert in guns but I tell you, for the new price of what your looking at or just a smidgem more you can get into a quality shotgun.

    Yup what he said.
    Mind you the nicesest shotty I ever picked up was a 20g u/o in GC 20 odd years ago. It came like a dream and just felt right. It should've, it was a used browning and was over 4k. that was back in the mid 90's. I made a big sigh as I handed it back
