ok, so I want a 12 g. semi-auto shotgun for skeet and pheastant hunting. After doing some research -
remmington 1100/11-87 is out because I don`t want to replace an O ring everytime I turn around
stoeger 2000 - cheap, seems to be more reliable with inertia system, but I`ve read about way too many guns that don`t run well out of the box (weak primer strikes, looooong break in period, etc)
saiga 12 - I`d love to have one (have a saiga 7.62X39) as its reliable, the accessories are cool (20 rd drum), but it seems to be the wrong choice for what I want. I could buy some 2 rd magazines but that would get costly, and I wouldn`t want to reload a mag in the field - other shottys all you need to do is pump a few rounds into the well.
so, what should i do? I don`t want to drop $3500 on some crazy thing; I just want a 12 g semi auto that will go bang when i pull the trigger, is easy to clean, won`t break the bank, and is good for hunting/skeet
