I'm in the market for a new 20g. Waterfowl being the main use of this new scatter gun. I would like to purchase a semi and am looking at the following: SX3 @ $1100 new $850 used 11-87 @ $600 used $699 new if i can find one - Browning SLV in MODB - not likely @ $1000 used Can anyone else make some suggestions? What are you all using in 20g? |

Use to have a 11-87 and it was a good reliable little gun. Picked up a 20g Franchi O/U so that's all I use when I want a 20 ga now. |

I have a 11-87 12 ga. that has never failed yet, and I only clean after season before I put it away. |

for those of you with a SX3, do they have any problems cycling low brass? |

M2 sure gets my vote... I messed up last year when a local dealer had 2 for 950 and I didn't get one |

I never said it was a bad gun. Some people like them, but more dont. It is probably heavIer than comparable guns. Btw I have my dads old 1100 that I got started with and still love it, even though I don't shoot it anymore. |

I said mine hasn't failed yet, everything breaks. I was just saying that mine leads a hard life from sept 1st -jan 3 as it never leaves the boat and is not in a case or gun box. |

I'm leaning away from the 11-87 just because I havent been thrilled with the latest batch of guns they've been producing. Too bad the Versa isnt 20g yet.... |

I have a m1 super 90 20g Benelli. Have had it for 11 years or so love it. Light and points great. See if you can find one used. |

I have an 11-87 20 gauge that threw a scrap iron fit one day while hunting. It sounded like a baby rattle with all the parts floating around in it  It was under warranty so I had it repaired. I like the gun but my favorite 20 is my A5 mag 20 because it patterns steel loads of 3's wonderfully. If I was in the market for a new 20 I personally like the browning silvers. |

I agree with DDM on this one. The gun he mentioned is great. I've seen a few used for reasonable prices too! |

Buying a new 20 gauge shotgun for waterfowl is under kill. If you already have one ,then go ahead and use it. But a newer 12 gage will way outperform on waterfowl. Especially with steel or alloyed shot. IMHO ... today, 2013, its not worth the effort to purchase a 20g for waterfowl UNLESS there is some special restrictions on your bore size. 20g has its place, but waterfowling is somewhat handicapped by that gun. |

I went hunting with a guy twice this year and he used a 20 ga. The shots were all pass shots at ringers two limits with 14 shells. Didn't seem like under kill here. |

Beretta 390 Silver Mallard and love it. Kind of hard to find right now but it's worth the effort. |

I want a 20g because I take a few young hunters with me. Plus I WANT one. I agree the 12g puts more pellets downrange but I dont think it matters if you're dropping birds what gauge you're using. The ducks dont judge your hunting skills...and I dont think they care what gun you use... But I do agree ^^ the 12g is the common I want to buy another gun. Simple.
