“What shotgun under $200”<\/p>\n
Well, for the most part, none. <\/p>\n
You can buy a used scattergun for $200 but it will most likely be a disapointment, and you will have trouble with it.<\/p>\n
WalMart “used” to regularly have Mossberg 500 combos for $250. I see several places showing this combo now for over $300 but I believe if you shop around you can find it cheaper. I will be visiting my local Walmart to check pricing in about an hour. Update: Bass Pro shows it at $350. Still a good deal. <\/p>\n
The Mossy 500 combo is a well made entry level firearm. It’s not as smooth or polished as a Remington 870, but its not as spendy, either. And the combo comes with a vent rib changeable choke barrel, and rifled slug barrel. <\/p>\n
There are also a TON of cool accessories you can buy, from Mossberg or from aftermarket sources. Pistol grips, both fore and aft, short barrels, special sights, lasers, flashlights, extended magazines, etc. <\/p>\n
The things I’d suggest, knowing that sometimes Mossy’s QC is variable, is to make sure the action works smoothly, and never buy more than one box of any kind of ammo at a time, since some of the pumps can be finicky as to what they’ll feed. You tend to want to try a box at a time until you find the best combination. And the slug barrel makes it that much more versatile. <\/p>\n
yeah, I don’t have the current pricing but this is the best, (imo) entry level shotgun, and now all there is to do is decide which gauge? I’m a big fan of 20’s but the 12 is probably the better round. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
