The 6 Best Shotguns for Hunting

Whether you are shooting waterfowl or deer, shotguns are a hunter’s main tool of the trade. There are plenty of different shotguns to choose from, but which are the best for hunting? Here are a few, from the venerated Remington 870 to the Beretta A300 Outlander, that are sure to help you bring home dinner.

Remington 870

The Remington 870 is one of the best shotguns in its price range. The 12-gauge shotgun is highly versatile and has been a mainstay of the hunting community since its debut in 1950. For more than half a century, it has been the shotgun of choice for everything from pheasants to waterfowl and deer.

Winchester Model 1912

This is another classic shotgun that has proven itself, but the pedigree of the Model 1912 has more than a century of history. You may still even have grandpa’s shotgun, and it very likely still works like a charm. It is a simple, clean, and most importantly, reliable waterfowl shotgun that has evolved to keep up with the times but still has the essence of the original shotgun from 1912.

Benelli Super Nova

The last of the pump-action shotguns on this list, the original Benelli Nova, a standout waterfowl shotgun, was updated to the Super Nova with a better stock design for recoil. The original was a novelty in the 1990s for its synthetic stock, but this has become much more commonplace. It became a mainstay with duck hunters thanks to its corrosion resistance.

Benelli Super Black Eagle 3

With an inertia-drive system, the SBE3 is one of the most reliable semi-automatic shotguns available. Like the Super Nova, it is a favorite of waterfowl hunters. The recent BEST model offers a new finish to stop rust and corrosion, helpful for saltwater and coastal hunters. It is one of the best, with a price tag to match.

Beretta A300 Outlander

Unlike the SBE3, the Beretta A300 Outlander is a highly reliable semi-automatic shotgun that will not break the bank. It is easy to disassemble and clean and comes with the reliability Beretta is known for.

Beretta A400 Xtreme Plus

The flagship Beretta semi-automatic hunting shotgun, the Beretta A400 gives the SBE3 a run for its money. It has one of the best recoil reducers on a gas-powered autoloader shotgun, with a bigger front end than you typically see on 12-gauges. Despite its size, it is usable by just about any size hunter.
