pump for waterfowl

I need a nice pump for waterfowl. I was looking at supernova, my uncle has one and he uses it a a crowbar, a paddle, and fence post driver and it has held up really well. I was thinking the supernova or a Remington but I've heard that Remington's quality control has dropped a lot in the past couple years. Is this true? Thx

I have some older Remington that are great. I would probably buy a clean older used one of If I was looking for another. Handle several different kinds and see what feels the best to you.

The SuperNova shoots the 3 1/2" shells.

I have a Supernova that I'd be interested in selling. Pm sent.

Remington 870 Express Super Magnum is mine and my son's go to gun. Have the black model..easy to disassemble and clean. Still a good buy.

Remington 870 has some nonmetal parts on the newer ones.

Why are you looking for a pump versus semi auto? As for Remington, I haven't heard anything bad about the V3. I'm also looking at the Beretta A400 and the Winchester SX4, though I'm looking for both a waterfall and upland gun.

I've used a Remington 870 since I was 13 with no problems (29 now).

Buy a pump now if you need to but save up for an inertia semi. Best waterfowl gun in my opinion. I'm a Benelli guy all the way but inertia shotguns are the only way to go if you hunt a lot. I can hunt until dark and then clean my Benelli in about 5 minutes and be ready to hunt in the AM. No way you can do that with a gas gun. Plus, it goes bang every time you pull the trigger

I can hunt all week and shoot clays and still have no malfunction in my Browning Gold... which is a gas gun that also happens to be one of the softest recoiling 12 gauges made.
Matter-of-fact, I have never had a malfunction in that gun, even on two week long hunting trips, shooting many, many rounds whereas I only wiped the outside of the gun down.

Benelli semi autos, Remington 870 pumps. Can't believe there is any market share left for the rest.

Why focus on inertia guns over gas, especially with the reduced recoil the latter offer to help with successive shots?

I prefer inertia over gas for no other reason than the ease of cleaning. I hunt in pits that are just a hole dug and a wood top and my gun can get very dirty sometimes even if I never pull the trigger. I don't dislike gas guns, I just love inertia guns.

Actually I do like the A400, can't hit myself in the butt using both hands with an 1100, it's a fit thing. I also carried a Benelli M1 in Swat for a lot of years. Kinda became attached to the weapon system.
I shoot well with the Benelli and I love low maintenance.
