I was looking around on the net for an inexpensive camo'd semi-auto shotgun and found this:http://www.budsgunsh...oducts_id/14124and this: http://www.budsgunsh...oducts_id/14120Any thoughts on those? I really like the 24 inch barrel on the first one.Suggestions on other guns welcome as well.

Get the one with the 22 inch barrel if your looking for a predator shotgun. They don't have to be expensive or fancy to shoot a couple of times a month at a coyote if you're lucky enough to see one that often. The short barrel with an open choke should make a good HD weapon which you may never have to use if you're lucky. If you are looking for a general purpose shotgun to shoot box after box of shells at clays, dove, ducks, etc. you might want to consider something that is known to take that kind of abuse and keep on ticking.Woo

If I was shopping for an inexpensive camo'd semi-auto 12ga, I would go with the Stoeger 2000 (Made by Benelli).They can be had for around $430-500 in 28" down to 24"I was thinking of buying one before I got the nerve to paint my $1300 Beretta. :DHere are some links:28”http://www.ableammo....oducts_id=31408http://www.impactgun...7084315454.htmlhttp://gunbroker.com...?Item=119043821http://gunbroker.com...?Item=11882323724”http://gunbroker.com...?Item=118626898

I have a 2000 that I shortened to 20 inches and had Chris paint for me and it came out pretty nice and shoots well. Maybe he will post a photo of the camo job.Woo

This one would be mainly for predators. I have plenty of other shotguns for clays, bird, etc.I will look into the stuff WKC posted. Thanks for the input.

Just talked to a friend who bought a Tri-Star 12 ga semi-auto at Sports Authority in Bakersfield for around $250. It was made in Turkey. Haven't seen it, but he claims it was a good deal.Woo

Nice. Was it camo?

[woodog]

Nope, it is "Bad Black", but Chris is the camo guy. I believe Tri-Star has a web site.Woo
