Looking for a 12 gauge camo turkey shotgun. I just posted a want to buy thread but thought I would check here too. Does it have to be pretty but needs to be reliable. I prefer a pump what would consider a semi-auto. Wanting to spend less than $400. I plan to hit the local gun stores tomorrow to see what they have. I'm in South Houston

I’m kinda old school I reckon when it comes to shotguns. All I own because my dad or an uncle or some family had when I was a kid. Brings back lots of good memories when I’m holding one of my old school autos when I’m hunting. Remington 1100’s, Browning B80, Auto 5 or Browning 2000 is what I shoot. I even hunt with an old Winchester .410 that my dad started with. Wouldn’t trade them for the world.

Love my Benelli Legacy 28 and it gets 95% of the action.

I took a photo of the shells I mainly use. Starting on the left, I use Winchester AA's in #8 shot for sporting clays, trap, quail and dove. I use Fiocchi Golden Pheasant #5 or #6 shot for pheasant, sage grouse, chukars and blue grouse. I use Winchester Steel Shot in #5 or #6 shot for ducks and geese. I will also use Hevi Bismuth #4 shot for ducks and geese but it is pretty expensive.
On ducks and geese, you definitely are not using a 28 gauge to sky bust. I use mine when in a pit blind or layout blind when the birds are right on top of you and at the most 30 yards out. I will also use it for pass shooting on the river of jump shooting ponds but one thing using a 28 gauge will teach you is effective kill range. It definitely cures you from sky busting and popping off rounds at birds 50-60+ yards out.
The 28 is a joy to shoot and you can carry it all day and not even know you are packing it because it is very light. I rarely even take my 12's out of the safe any more except to shoot sporting clays sometimes.

Wow, this got me thinking about what autos I have.
I have a Beretta A390 in camo 12ga
A400 sporting clay version
Remington 1100 12 ga
Remington 1187 12 ga
Winchester not sure model 20 ga
Franchi 12 ga
Heck I know I've got a clue more I cant think of.
I have a Browning A2000 in 20 ga. My dad, brother and myself all had 1, my house got broken into 30 odd years ago and mine got stolen. I was sick. When my father passed away 17 yrs ago, my brother and sister made sure I got dads.
I've only shot it once since then. Hard to explain.
