What shotgun?

[CTC B4Z]

Looking at the 870 Tactical or Saiga 12 right now, but I'm looking for other options. I would like to have it somewhat defense wise, since I do not have my AR decked out for it.

Can you even get the Saiga's around here?

Good luck finding a saiga... I see s20s from time to time, but havn't see a s12 in months.

I bought a couple of BENELLI M1 SUPER 90, for when SHTF

You can find a Saiga12 bone stock for about $900 now...it's crazy. I'm in the same boat as you. I'd like a Saiga12 but i'm looking into other autoloaders and possibly a pump.

 

[CTC B4Z]

I'm looking to spend up to $600... and yes it will be also used for pigeons

870 Police Magnum...

You can get a 870 combo.

Even if you can find a saiga 12, they are a gun for someone who has some tools, and know how when it comes to guns. They're not a gun you take home, load up, and prop in the corner.

Since nobody seems to know about them, and since I've recently grown extremely fond of the, I have to suggest the Weatherby 459!

Think of it as a cross between a benelli supernova and an 870, without the awful grouping the benelli delivers. It's also going to be under $400.

Anyone that can fire aa Rem 1100 or Mossy 500 can effectively use a Saiga 12. Bone stock Saiga's want high powered ammo and if you give it to them you won't have a problem. No tools required.

Tools enter the picture when (1) you want an "as imported" S12 to look like an AK and/or (2) you want to shoot low powered ammo (Wally World Value Packs, etc.). A stock S12 will fire slugs and buck w/o issue as long as you feed them hot loads; stay away from "low recoil" and birdshot unless you're willing to tweak your Saiga.

Mossberg SPX 930

O.F. Mossberg & Sons, Inc. - Firearms, Shotguns, Rifles, Accessories, and Precision Machining

Semi auto,smooth bore(slugs or shoot).We picked up one at the 1500 last time around and it is a beautiful piece of engineering.The price,generally less than a saiga.Also it has a nice sticker on the stock when you pick up a new one"made in the USA."

 

[CTC B4Z]

that 870 police is beautiful. Excuse me for my ignorance but thats a 'pump' right?

I love the looks of that SPX also. How much does that one go for? And would they call that bolt action?

It's just ashame to see a saiga in "ban" clothing.

They really need the conversion for proper balance and ergonomics. And from a 922r standpoint, if you ever want to use anything over 5 round capacity.

For 600 bucks you could have a nice 870 set up for home defense. Extra barrels, accessories and such would be easy to come by. Probably not so with the Saiga.

[vitamink]

I personally think you can find more tactical accessories for the saiga... extra barrels on the other hand you'll never find for the saiga.

1100, 26 inch barrel, 10 shot extension, SpeedFeed stock...will do just about everything from HD to sporting clays...

Go Saiga...

Don't get me wrong.. I still use a pump gun..
It's how I "Roll"!

I wouldn't have paid the $200 stamp tax for that suppressor.

I bought a nice used 1100 with a smooth bore 22" barrell for $400 and added a +7 extension. It works, but not nearly as tactiCOOL looking.

Have you looked in the "shotgun show and tell" section of long guns. Some of the INGO members have some very nice shotguns (new and old school) that would suffice for home defense.

For $600 you can easily buy a suitable home defense shotgun (used or new). Now if you want a super tacticool toy, that is another matter. lol

Pick something practical (12, 16, or 20 guage) that your family can comfortably or safely operate, when you can't.

Good luck and have fun. lol
