I have been reading a lot of these posts about using the shotgun for coyotes. What would you suggest for a shotgun? I don't think I want to pony up the money for the Beneli though.

Remington 870!This one is really nice. http://www.impactgun...e/SS-95189.html

[Braz]

I think the 870 is a great gun.

[ShooterJohn]

I still have my first Remington 870 Wingmaster with a bunch of barrels for it. It's 43 years old and shoots great. I wish it was a magnum but I wouldn't trade it.

[Braz]

That one you posted looks great, but I don't know if I really like a thumbhole on a shotgun.

[ShooterJohn]

They point real nice. But in a way I'm used to a normal shotgun stock. I'd look around at Remington and see what else they have. You see them on sale all of the time. But I'd get a camo model.

[CoyoteHuntress]

Mines a remington 1100 semi auto, 12 guage She shoots AWESOME Rarely use it though since I just sooo much prefer the rifle.

[ShooterJohn]

But nothing beats a shotgun in the scrub, sage or manzanita. A rifle just doesn't give you the opportunity to make some shots. I've thrown lead from a rifle at some very short distances but if I'm being serious I'll take a shotgun any day.

If youve ever tried to repair BB holes in a short hide, youd understand LOL...

Braz,I have used many shotguns to shoot coyote and rabbit, from Benelli, Mossberg and Remington. Some were pump and some semi.The shotgun that works for me is a Remy 11-87 Police Semi Auto, bead site, 18" barrel with a tube extender. Its all business.

[ShooterJohn]

Hey CH, I wasn't shooting them to save the hides or have them mounted. I was killing them because someone wanted them off of their ranch or property. There's a big difference in shooting to mount and clearing them out. I don't want to wise them up I wanted to wipe them out. You understand where I'm coming from I'm sure.

Lynn the Benelli Nova in camo is only $389. Hard to beat.

[CoyoteHuntress]

LOL Ohh ya I understand....

Your saying what its all about for me, John. My new set -up is the scatter across my lap and the rifle in the shooting stix for the hang-ups. Both ready to rock and roll..

Congrats Stan, that will work well out in "The Valley". Remember the 10 day wait won't start until your FFL gets it from Arizona. I'll return your book this week, thanks for the loan. What did you think of Rich Higgin's video?

[ehd]

Good looking scatter gun. A must for the close ones.

Don’t return the book yet I haven’t finished the video Hi video made me get the shotgun as I switched to 20ga years ago for Dove and Quail and my 1897 is Heavy and won’t shoot 3 1/2 magsThe SX3 arrived in Grant Boys on Fri did the paperwork that day purchased a variety of 2 ¾ and 3 ½ shells @ Bass Pro to paper need to get the Dead Coyote tube ordered looking forward to the cooler weather to try this Beast out! Should be fun on Crows too We should get some of the guys in the area to meet at Prado to shoot some skeet for practice and swap some lies

Thanks What problems were you having?

[ehd]

I bought a new Benelli super black eagle, with a New Carlson Dead coyote choke tube. Shot a great pattern ,trouble was it was 3 feet high and 2 feet to the left. Went to a Pattermaster choke and it shoots a great pattern now.

[Stan]

Wow just the choke changed it

[DEERSLAM]

With that primos choke the one i shot patterned great. they are a great gun..

Hey ehd, after seeing the patterns I shot with the Carlson choke do you think I should try the Primos?

[ehd]

I think your patterns are real good. I would like to see your pattern at 65 yards. If I can get that primos choke back from the guy I sold the gun too i will mail it to you and give it a try.I had an old post of the patterns I was getting with the primos choke in a Nova. It was real good..

[DEERSLAM]

Cool....thanks.I'll see if I can find that old post.

[Buckaroobarnone]

For my budget this is what I got. $269.00 after rebate.http://big5sportingg.....d=-2099999866

[lilwes278]

This is my scattergun:http://www.remington...magnum_camo.aspExcellent gun (leaps and bounds better than the old Mossberg I used to shoot!), but I may be selling it soon to try an autoloader.

[Buckaroobarnone]

Very nice! I'm okay with 3" mag only and I may try givin it a camo paint job. Best of both worlds.

[Braz]

I may be interested. PM me the details. Hell, maybe we could even make you a huge call collector in exchange.

[Desert Fox]

I only have one scattergun, a Browning BPS 12 gauge. It has a beautiful wood, gold ingraving of upland games on both side of the action and has gold plated trigger. The shotgun is over 20 years old and just gathering dust inside my safe. It accounted for only one turkey, shot by my stepson way back.
