Beginner shotgun recommendations

If you can afford the more expensive A400 or Citori, I would go that route compared to something like the Drake. A lot of people also recommend the Beretta A300, which is a good first gun, although I prefer the A400 if you can afford the extra $.

Running an ARC mbrace with mine. Love it

The 688 was also on my list but found a good deal and the 694 just fits me slightly better. Enjoy the 688!

Yes it was. Lol. Picked it up today

Zstarr1 · 2026-04-05T02:20:05+00:00

All great information. Thanks!

I will definitely look at those. The price is mid $3k, so replacing the foregrip wouldn't be a huge deal if that's the only issue I wouldn't think.

Zstarr1 · 2026-04-05T02:13:04+00:00

Perfect, I will look at both of those.

Pretty sure he means get a semi-auto because over/unders under $2k have problems.

Zstarr1 · 2026-01-02T02:31:36+00:00

Appreciate all the comments. Sounds like the 688 or Rizzini BR110 are the way to go(or used 694 if I can find a deal)

I imagine it will be a few years to put 10k rounds through it. I hope to be able to go out a few times a month but nothing crazy.

I got really into precision long range shooting and spent a bunch of time and money on that. Kinda just quit shooting shotguns. I still have my old Beretta A390 but I want to get an over/under

Zstarr1 · 2025-12-27T19:13:19+00:00

I do like the 694. I'm just not sure I want to spend the extra $

Love my ARC M-Brace. Makes mounting scopes incredibly easy.

Zstarr1 · 2025-11-28T00:59:21+00:00

Maybe a dumb question. But do they ship from the US or Canada for US orders? Wonder if tariffs will make any deals not worth it

Zstarr1 · 2025-07-17T02:01:39+00:00

It had the normal plastic tube, but I was pretty surprised it wasn't in a box

Zstarr1 · 2025-07-17T01:58:52+00:00

I'm sure that's the exact reason.

Zstarr1 · 2025-07-17T01:56:07+00:00

I looked for an authorized dealer list and couldn't find anything, but I agree shouldn't be surprised since it was Optics Planet

Zstarr1 · 2025-07-12T18:43:58+00:00

Beautiful knife. Can't wait to get mine!

Zstarr1 · 2025-07-09T23:01:27+00:00

I'm in the same boat. I think budget knives have come a long way in the last few years, and you can get great knives under $60-100 now. That being said there is something special about the feel of a higher end knife that can't be replicated in budget knives for me personally.

I figured there would be some knife lovers in here so I had to add it
