Looking for a 12 gauge semi "workhorse"

[mbeaudoin]

Everyone,

I need some advice, I am looking for a 12 GA semi-automatic multi-chokes (Chambered 3.5")?
Now looking at the Baikal MP-153

Any suggestions more than welcome? Anyone tried the Baikal

TIA

Mossberg 930 or 935 (3.5").

Whats your price range? The baikal is certainly a "workhorse", its overbuilt but a little rough around the edges. Its in the lowest price bracket of semis. Doesn't pattern all that well though.

SBE II, very happy with mine.

I vote extrema. They are expensive but do EVERYTHING.

I shoot an extrema as well, but I heard some good thing about the baikal if it's in your budget.

One word... Beretta

My Baikal has been working hard this fall, no prob. Pattern whatever you buy. If you can make do with a 3" ( most can) than I too, would vote for a Mossberg 930.

Weatherby SA-08. Priced right, reliable, looks good. I had one for sale to pay for another purchase but I took it out again yesterday and I've decided to keep it for now anyway, because it is too nice to let go.
