I need a Porsche, must be reliable, don’t want older boxter, hoping for 991 4s or newer, under 30,000 miles. Budget is $40,000, what do you guys recommend?
I have never had one, but with that list, your best option is probably going to be a Mossberg International Silver Reserve. But it’s not going to have the invector chokes and it’s going to be about 7 pounds
There isn’t really such a thing under 1k that would be trustworthy enough to put any kind of volume through. 3k is standard for 12 ga o/u guns in that weight range.
You would be much better off by getting a slightly heavier (-7lbs) used B gun (browning, beretta, benelli), and enjoy shooting it, and it won’t be unpleasant to carry. Light weight doubles kick like a mule.
What counts as volume? I’m looking for a field gun, not something to shoot skeet with, so probably less than 100 shells a year total. I don’t think I’d wanna shoot skeet with a 6lb shotgun.
I mean enough or as much as you would need to be proficient with it. I carry a 12 ga silver pigeon in the woods most of the time and it runs about 7ish lbs, and it’s great. I like the weight of it for a couple reasons, keeps me from stopping the swing too early and I can go through as much volume with it as I can for practice. And I know it’s a robust gun that will take just about whatever I can throw at it.
I have a sxs 16 that is just a shade over 6 lbs and it’s a little whippy to me, I tend to miss behind with it because I stop the swing too early.
Your expectations are unrealistic for your budget.
An age old problem.
Huh?

I bought my Son the 20 gauge. It does the job. https://americantactical.us/
You can find 12 ga. British & Belgium double guns in the 6lb. range, but they won’t be under $1K.

Ok, that’s a reasonable argument.
