which semi auto cycles cheap 2 3/4 best

[Claybuster]

Stick with 2.75" chambers. The longer chambered guns don't function near as well with the lighter loads.

Chamber length doesn't matter as much as action type. Most modern gas-operated shotguns will operate with light loads. Recoil operated guns more often require more powerful shells to operate as reliably. My Beretta 391 with a 3" chambers will function with very light loads that would not work in a 2-3/4" chambered Browning Auto 5.

which semi auto shotgun will use cheap 2 3/4 shells and cyle reliablely.

The one that you will cut and reduce the recoil spring on it, all of them will at this point, just get an extra spring just so you don’t feel like you destroyed a perfect working gun.

Basically, stay away from water fowlers with 3 1/2 " chambers. The heavier guns are designed to shoot magnum loads and won't work with light stuff. otherwize you'll hammer your action.
Some guns have reversible pistons or adjustable gas systems for different loads.

Not true. Have a Benelli SBE that functions every bit as well as my Supersport with the 2 3/4" target loads.

My Extrema had no issues crow hunting with the Value packs of 100 shells you get at Canadian tire.

Why won't you look for a sporting semi..Maxus sporting..silver sporting or even the Sx3 sporting and
try not to buy cheap ammo,they leave powder residu a lot more than quality shells and won't give a
good patern either.Rem.gun club and Challenger handicap are our favorite at our club.
