WTF IS THIS?

Meh, 1200 bucks to me anymore in the gun world goes to cooler things than shotguns.

 

I more than agree Bob. Honestly unless your shooting competition a $300-400 Mossberg/Rem will do anyone just fine.

 

Just ridiculous some of the things they are getting by with making.

Here's my philosophy. Each of these is ranked

 

If I have 500-600 to spend:

ON an accessory - Suppressor or Good Red dot Optic

ON a pistol - Buy an M&P or a used USP

ON a long gun - Build a basic AR15

ON a shotgun - Nope

 

 

If I have 1000 to spend:

ON a pistol - Something with a threaded barrel (FNXT, USP-T, HK45T, SIG P226 combat T)

ON an accessory - Medium-end scope or a nice 30cal suppressor/stamp

ON a shotgun - try for a deal on a medium end Over/Under

ON a long gun - Save your money, you are in a "tweener" area

 

If I have 2000 to spend:

ON a long gun - Buy a nice AR15

ON an accessory - Higher end rifle scope

ON a pistol - Only if you've been sweating a MK23 or SigXfive (or similar)

ON a shotgun - nah, not worth it

 

 

My point is just to illustrate that certain budgets will change the "niche within the niche" of where I am going to spend my money. It also depends on what is currently "done" in the safe verus "don't yet have" or "needs and upgrade".

Bob, you must not have gotten into shooting clays much.

 

:) I love it actually (Sporting Clays & 5-stand)! It's very fun/new/thrilling (I've only been sporting clay shooting a dozen times... BUT, I love it). I should have clarified by saying the following.

 

"I have one shotgun. I'm not a big shotgun guy. I probably wont buy another"

 

ie - my priorities do not exist in buying more shotguns. Love the one I have though, even though it's specifically towards clay shooting (and not tactical).

 

Sorry for not clarifying that sooner in my previous post.

ATF recently decided that they no longer like pistol grip only shotguns, so right now we are in a holding pattern waiting to see what they do. While technically legal right now, the legality of that would be questioned by everyone that ever sees it, and in the near future could be deemed to be an unregistered short barrel shotgun.

 

And its too expensive for how ugly it is. Either SBS a Mossy using one of the aftermarket receivers that can take detachable mags, or SBS a Saiga.
