Shotguns

These guns might not be the best option compared to a custom, built-for-you rifle, but they give you a great place to start and make easing into competition easy. 

The Optic-Ready 500 Turkey is one of three new pump-action shotguns from Mossberg. Red dots sights have been used on shotguns in 3-gun competition for decades but Mossberg has raised the bar by lowering the red dot down into the receiver of the Optics-Ready 500 Turkey.

Like the original 930 series, this upgrade is a gas-operated gun. The main improvements include better ergonomics and a smoother gas system.

Shotguns are making quite the comeback in recent years. Somehow the gospel of the gauge has reached the ears of shooters, and more and more are adopting the tactical shotgun for home defense needs.

The defining feature of the CZ 1012 lineup is the gas-less inertia operating system. The 1012 operates differently from other shotguns and utilizes a spring to harness energy.

When I first started testing out this shotgun, the number 1 question I was asked was how the Beretta A300 Ultima Patrol differs from the classic Beretta 1301.

I came across the Mossberg Maverick 88 Security and it seemed like the perfect way to have some fun without breaking the bank.

At SHOT Show 2023, Retay had the Gordion model featured in the new very popular Realtree Max 7 camo finish.

It all started because of Forgotten Weapons. As a shotgun aficionado, I thought the idea of the Axor Arms folding pump action.
