Just Traded for a Beretta and Other Shotguns

[albayo]

I just traded a few things and received three shotguns.

First one is a Beretta 391 Urika with original carry case, extra chokes, looks hardly used 28" barrel 3" magnum with extras.

Next one is a S&W 3000 with 20" ported barrel with choke tube, three mag extensions, hand guard, and two speed loaders.

Third one is a Remington 870 Wingmaster with 20" barrel with rifle sights.
Chambered in 3" nut the receiver is a 2 3/4", Choate stocks steel mag extension.
This one doesn't appear to be used much.

I am going to keep one and sell the other two along.

I don't hunt much so I am interested in one for shooting slugs and just looks.

It sounds like you got a couple real nice shotguns there, I'd keep the Beretta and the 870 if it was me, both are nice guns.

If you are just shooting slugs, keep the Wingmaster with the rifle sights. You won't need 3" slugs, but if you ever do, a gunsmith can convert the receiver to 3" with minimal effort.

I don't know much about the S&W 3000, but the Beretta is a nice gun, it's the 3" version of the coveted (and recently out of production) Xtrema2 and is one of the best waterfowl guns ever produced. It would not last long in the EE. It would not be my first choice as a slug-shooting beater gun though, as the much cheaper Remington can do that just fine.

EDIT:

After a little Google-Fu, it looks like the S&W 3000 is an 870 Police clone made in Japan in the 1980's and largely sold in bulk to Police departments. It may have some "cache" for police gun collectors or for guys who want a tactical 870 that is a little "different" than the usual parkerized and re-purposed WingMasters. Probably a $400 gun or so, condition dependent, to a guy looking for a defence-type 870. Perhaps a little more to a police gun enthusiast?

If you are recoil sensitive, keep the semi for the slug shooter...

Sell the Beretta and the 870. You're just using the gun to make noise so you might as well maximize the return on investment with the other two. Or put all three on the EE and see which two sell first. My money is on the 870 and Beretta disappearing first.

The Beretta would be the most versatile as you could also use it for skeet and duck hunting if you ever decided you wanted to go in that direction . The Rem. 870 would be best if you just wanted a slug gun as it has sights already installed . The S/W 3000 was widely used by police , corrections and armored car companies ; and has not been manufactured in years....I have one myself which was an OPP over run. If you wanted an older classic shotgun , the S/W might be the best choice.....
