Mossberg 930? M3000? something else?

I've had several 930s. They are fun soft shooters but none ran right.

Have a friend with the JM Pro and he basically had to rebuild it internally to get his to run right.

I'm not a Mossberg hater, the 500/590s are fine.

1100's are overrated, and overpriced. They seem to cash in on the nostalgia of having a blued Remington auto like grandpa's.

The m3000 is one of the most popular 3 gun shotguns. It's cheap and reliable. 930s seem pretty spotty in reliability.

There are some real nice franchi inertia guns in the 6 - 7 range.

I've also seen a growing number of gas operated Berettas as Leo trade ins. I got a 1301 that looks mostly unshot, but carried for under 6. It came with 600 dollars worth of parts on it...

I don't agree with you on 1100s, but the Berettas are very nice! They seem to becoming as popular or more than the Benellis amongst the cool guys.

If you really want a Rem 1100 then just look around for a nice used one, they are not usually that hard to find.

Exactly. I bought one used, then sold it used... took it skeet shooting a couple times, didn't care for it.

Mossberg has just never had any luck with their semi-auto's.
