TOMAHAWK 2210 "Marine" Pump Action 12ga. x 3"

I really like stainless firearms but for a first shotgun just wondering if anyone owns one of these guns? How would this compare for $350.00 to the $800 marine mossberg.

We have already answered your questions about this, Very crappy gun.

If your on such a tight budget you should not even be looking at a brand new gun. You get more for less with used guns especially in the Tactical type.

You have already answered my questions about this very crappy gun. Yes. Everyone did, but did I even ask a second question Winchested???

As for a tight budget, I actually do have 25K in my sock drawer that I can't figure out what to buy with yet.

Watch how you phrase your post's next time.
 
I haven't read all of the other posts yet... but keep in mind the one you are looking at is NOT stainless. This will account for some of the lower cost. It is only 350 and if you are not happy with it you can sell it. But for a first shotgun, it would be nice to have something you love.

The marine magnum 870 is a huge rip off! All is is a nickel finish on a regular 870express. Save your cash for a 870 wingmaster or 870police they are the gems of the 870 lineup. Only if the marine magnum was built off the wingmaster would it be worth the big pricetag.

My 870 Police was not cheap. IIRC, it was marginally more expensive than the Marine Magnum (before I added all the stuff, of course).

as much as i have no use for them, i cant believe that a Marine Mag is built the same as an Express and then plated. underneath the bead-blasting/matte bluing, my Express receiver has a pretty rough finish complete with machining marks, and something like that would look like ass if they plated it. same goes for the internals - you couldnt just plate Express internals, theyre way too rough. sure i can understand them choosing the plastic Express triggergroup to save cost, but i cant see them cutting corners like that on plating.

does anyone have any actual confirmation on what 'grade' the Marine Magnums are before they get plated?
 
It's all true...

Save up a bit more, and be happy in the long run. You'll be able to pass down a gun to your kid.

Another way to do it is like manbearpig is suggesting - buy a good used 870 and do what ever you like to it down the road.

If you have all that cash why buy a cheap pump gun?

I don't think you have ever shot one... It isn't worth the RIDICULOUS prices they are being sold for nowadays but they are leaps and bounds beyond an express. I can't find it on there now but I am almost certain I read on Rem's site years back that MM are hand picked off the line. Also, having shot several of each type of shotgun you listed I can say the MM is every bit as smooth and even more resilient thanks to the finish.
 
I own a Tomahawk 2100... One of the earlier pump models, I think. I'll let you know what I think about it:

1. It feels cheap.
2. Breakdown is simple, reassembly is awkward and laboured.
3. The 'teeth' on the screw-on mag cap wore out in less than two months. (I now layer it with paper towel to keep it tight)
4. It cycles properly when you rack the action HARD.
5. Before I sent it back to the supplier it failed to fire about 60% of the time.
6. When I got it back it failed to fire about 15% of the time.
7. I WOULD NOT TRUST MY LIFE TO IT.

I kept the gun only because I didn't think it would be worth the effort to sell it (and because I didn't think anyone would want it). I now use it for light-hearted bird hunting; If I have time after I take a deer I like to take this shotgun out and hunt Grouse... If the gun fails to fire, or fails to cycle properly I don't care too much. I'm out to enjoy the company and scenery.

The EE is your friend. If you are the type that absolutely has to have something brand new, then by all means go ahead and buy new. Someone has to take the leap and support the dealers/wholesalers that import these firearms into the country for us. Half my firearms have been purchased new by me and the other half used. Remember that after you shoot your "new" gun a few times it is no different than any of the used ones for sale right here in the EE! You have to decide if it's worth taking a small risk on an unseen firearm vs. buying one new in store to save hundreds of $$$.

IMHO it makes more economic sense to search out the "deals" on lightly used guns you want that are already modified with parts you would spend money on anyways.

As an example I just picked up a very lightly used Mossberg 590 marine magnum equipped with a Knoxx Spec Ops stock and saved probably $300-$400... and it's 10 times the shotgun a Tomahawk 2210 is.

YPMMV.

Lightly used hardly describes it, I am glad it is working well for you :)

I had planned on working it up with some mods but the price was offset by the cost of a new one.

Continuing my love for 590's I eventually decided on a 590 A1 SPX with a bayonet.

Fibre op front sight, ghost rear sight mounted on a rail, ported barrel, and the ever important bayonet lug :) all for $740 (incl. tax) yes, that includes the Bayo as well. Which is a steal considering what other shops are asking for this particular piece.

I mounted my Vortex Strikefire on it with a see through mount and it works well.

Affordable guns work well for fun and when you put the time into them to make them into something good. If that is your thing, by all means.

Myself, I have walked that path already and have decided that there really is just no comparison to the real thing :)

no offence, but if you have 25k in your sock drawer just burning a hole... why would you even consider a $350 nickle plated turkish made scattergun? im not saying spend thousands on a gun because you have the money... but for 350-600 will get you a very nice reliable first shotgun....
another thing watch your attitude and mannerisms towards other members giving you help on this site. your very new to this site and its best to not start out here with attitude or barking off that you have 25k just lying around... we dont care how much money you have or how much you make.

on another note....
Cheers and welcome to the site....:D
