dangaranga Posted May 18, 2014 Report Share Posted May 18, 2014 I will be purchasing my first gun here in a few weeks. Since I am under 21, I will be getting in some shape or form a used 12 gauge shotgun for shooting clays. i ran across a mint (used) Winchester model 12 for $289. If its still for sale in a couple weeks I will be buying it. Anybody have any personal experiences with this model? dislikes? problems? I am all ears, I am looking for a reliable pump action. Your advice is appreciated.

ModestDb Posted May 18, 2014 Report Share Posted May 18, 2014 New or used? If reliable pump action is your target, the first two things that come to mind are Remington 870 and Mossberg 500. Both are excellent bang for your buck (no pun). No experience personally, with the gun you mentioned, so I can't compare. I prefer the 870 from a looks point of view but both the 870 and 500 perform excellent. You can usually pick either up easily under 400. Locally I can snatch them for 275 to 325 all day. You might be able to as well. 4 American Bass VFL 8" at 0.5 ohm Soundstream Tarantula 3000.1D at 0.5 ohm 32 hz ported box designed by Mark at Car Audio Fabrications XS D1200 secondary with Stinger isolator Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
omg_spoon Posted May 18, 2014 Report Share Posted May 18, 2014 Id stay away from newer 870s. Older ones are good. But anything from when cerberus bought them and any of the freedom group companies. I always heard bad things. Really bad quality control and what not. 98 Mustang GTSinger 3202 12" Incriminator Death Penalties1 SAZ-2500dv22 D3100,1 D34002 Crescendo CZ-65SAX-100.2Door panels by Diablo Kustomz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

philrab Posted May 18, 2014 Report Share Posted May 18, 2014 If you're wanting a shotgun, hard to beat an old side by side for reliability. Other than that, older used Remington 870 are like the 1911 of the shotgun world. They work, they're simple, they're reliable. 2015 Toyota Tacoma Build Thread 2007 Mazda 3; 5000K HID's, Kenwood Excelon KDC-X997, Infinity Reference 6.5 comps in front and coaxials in the rear doors, JL 320.4 four channel, Rab Designs built ported enclosure with an SA12, Kenwood monoblock, Redline Leater shift boot/e-brake boot/center console cover, JBR short shifter/shifter bushings/rear motor mount.

gr8handogoatness Posted May 18, 2014 Report Share Posted May 18, 2014 I'm just gonna throw this out there and hope I don't get bashed on too hard. I bought a Stevens 12ga from big 5 sporting goods for 200 brand new. It's cheap, price wise and the materials. I've put over 1000 rounds through that thing and have had 0 problem. Cleaned it twice so far. It's the security model so it has a shorter barrel and pistol grip. Anyway, it's the funnest gun I own. And I won't feel bad if something happens to it.

dangaranga Posted May 18, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 18, 2014 Thanks for the responses guys. I have a couple weeks before I purchase, so I will browse the local shops more and see what I can find and feels right.

Airborne Posted May 19, 2014 Report Share Posted May 19, 2014 Shotgun mossberg 500 rifle ruger 10/22 pistol cant so..... absolutely. Dude mentioned Stevens, we sell tons of them and they never come back with issues. Not really going to find toys for them but reliable none the less...

rick1987 Posted May 23, 2014 Report Share Posted May 23, 2014 Shotgun mossberg 500 rifle ruger 10/22 pistol cant so..... I used to say this, but 22lr is so hard to find now, I would recommend going to you LGS and walmart and see what they have available for ammo. 17hmr looks good, and even bolt action 308, 30-06 have plenty of ammo. although expensive. and you cant go wrong with a mossy 500 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
