I haven't bought a shotgun in 30 years. Over the last couple years I've had a growing interest in adding one to the inventory. I was shocked you cannot get a decent shotgun for less than $1k. Of course I'm your typical cheap buyer who wants one shotgun that'll do everything and pay nothing for it. But last I looked a good quality shotgun was $500 to $750.
I guess it's just the new norm?

A remington 870 isn't $500 anymore? http://www.cabelas.com/product/Remin...emington%2B870
Swap out barrel and it'll do anything, won't it? Mine does.
Lots of choices brand new well under $1k:

A Remington from years past is a great shotgun. Today that brand is having problems.

100% accurate statement. If you watch GB auctions you can find an older Rem 870 or 1187 for a lot less than $1k. The models with the metal trigger guard are typically better than those with the plastic.Originally Posted by canes7
What exactly are you looking to do with, or features of, the shotgun?
Uses: 3-gun (for fun), skeet (for fun) and maybe whack a duck or two. That pretty much summarizes what I'm looking to do with it. I know I probably need the different shotguns to do it right but these are just side activities that I am not too serious about so getting 3 guns and spending a load of cash isn't going to happen.
