New black Shotgun Needed

[Sqr]

Gentlemen what is a good 3 gun shotgun that can be purchased off of a CGN site sponsor? I am looking for a semi auto, say something like a Mossberg, Winchester or a Benelli that is good right out of the box and can be modified in the future.

Your help will be greatly appreciated.

Stoeger M3K is a good entry-level option. Several sponsors sell it. Select Shooting Supplies, Al Flaherty and Bullseye in London. It has most of the mods you'd want except for the mag tube extension. I was considering other higher priced options like the Versa-Max Tactical and Benelli 1301 Tactical. The M3K is working well for around $800. The other semi-auto options were around $1300+

Benellli M2 is a good option, Beretta 1301 is a good short option also.

Gee, who would thunk that eh?
A whole sub-section for Blk ShotGuns...

My thoughts are a little research first and then ask for opinions based on ones research and pro's con's from there.
Thats Just me though.

Actually the better place to ask the question is in action shooting sub forum. You would want something with chokes and reliable. I had a Mossberg JM pro a small pin failed and it stopped working. I have seen my buddy having a hell of time getting a versa max to function on the clock. I have gone back to a pump action. My preference is the Mossberg 500 as the action is easier to get rounds into the mag. I believe that Reload speed on a shotgun stage is far more critical then the split time difference between a semi vs a pump.

Get in touch with Casey at Tacord for a turn key Remington Versamax.

Exactly, there is a forum specifically for black and green shotguns.

I use pumps and not familiar with auto shotguns. Thanks for the informative response in the "sporting shotgun" thread.
