Default Favorite shotgun is......

I was wondering what shotgun you own, and what is your favorite?
I own a Mossberg 500A that I'm very pleased with.

I've contemplated buying a Benelli in the future. What's your opinion?
Any responses will be appreciated.
Thanks, Mike

got a Benelli Nova this year. The first time I used it wingshooting was dove season, and my first 4 shots resulted in 4 stone dead dove. Ended up with a limit in 2 shells over a box which is by far the best I have ever shot in my life.

It patterened a turkey load beautifully with a Kick's choke.

Quite a value, imo, for a bit over 300 bucks (camo version, regular is cheaper).

My father really likes Mossbergs. I think there's a lot to a shotgun fitting you personally. gl.

I bought a New England break action single shot, for $85! And I'm just as pleased with it as anyone else is with their expensive ones. Sure, it's what I call my "Ugly Stick," but I don't care what it looks like!

Benelli Nova for my turkey gun
Berretta Silver Mallard for upland and ducks
Remington 3200 for trap.
Mossberg 500 deer slug
Marlin 512P deer slug
Remington 870 Wingmaster upland
One to do it all, I'd pick the Berretta over all of them.

Love good doubles. Raised on Ithaca Model 37's ,still have the one dad bought new in '48 [a 20] a 16 and Adam uses my 20 and another 16. The 37's have been real good guns for me.

Winchester Model 1400 12 ga
Mossberg Model 500 Turkey gun
H & R .410

And my favorite would have to be the Winchester, My dad made me go and earn the money for my first gun. I picked the Winchester off a used rack and the local gun store, now I'm glad my dad made me earn the money for that gun.
