I lost all my guns recently in a boating accident. They all went overboard.

I would sell while the market is hot.

Try to get a gun that will shoot 3.5” shells in case you get hardcore into waterfowl hunting on big water, hunt late birds with some fat and heavy down to penetrate, especially geese. Also will make a great turkey gun in case you get that bug. I shoot a 3.5” only because they don’t make a 4”.

Take a look at the Beretta Extrema. Not sure if still made. Shoot anything from 2-3/4” trap loads to 3.5” late winter heavy goose loads. I think it is butt ugly but is tremendously reliable. To clean it, I rinse it in the lake. It is gas operated and gives a long recoil push. Less recoil than the other big timer the Benelli which last I knew was still recoil operated.

Better choice is to look for an older Remington 1100 with nicely blued steel and nice wood with a remchoke barrel. I like nicely blued steel and nice walnut - it goes well with a black lab in the blind.

A Remington 1187 was made in a waterfowl special with shadow grass camo. It was a sweet shooter.

Stay away from the Winchester 1400 auto.

I just converted mine from a hunting shotgun into a tactile firearm with the help of a local gunsmith.

I've had the same issues, especially while wearing a heavy coat. Its now my shed gun and a Browning Gold gets to go for rides.

maybe hold onto that ring for the next one? eek

Well, they will.
I've had to repair many that were too violent for the extractor and/or ejector to function properly.
Standard semi-auto SOP, one way or another, some loads are not stout enough to cycle and others too stout. ..especially gas operated.
Todays engineers have bout got that plate licked, BUT, I've learned to never say never.
The recoil operated system is much more reliable IME.

Is the divorce over? You got all the guns?
Don't get a " next one". Well, if she has more money than you, maybe!
Sell the ring and buy a gun.

I've never sold a gun but am currently culling some for possible sale. I'm out of room, the market is good and if neither me or my sons are going to use them--I think I am selling.

Divorce will be finalized in a week, I have no reason to think I won't get my guns, she got the rifle we bought for her to use that she never did.

Wish I could get a new gun with the ring, but it wasn't anything super fancy.

Thanks for the input guys. I was talking about it with the guys at work and sold the 870 for $450 and found a Beretta A300 black synthetic for $645 out the door of my local FFL with shipping and transfer fee. I was able to find a few of the ones mentioned at some local stores to get my hands on them first, but they wanted $800 for the camo A300 and $800 for the M3500! I would've preferred a camo gun, but swooped on a good deal while it was available. Who knows what next week will bring.

I don't know what happened to all my guns. Weird.

Hopefully your Beretta will be a great shooter like the extrema that I No Longer own. For shotguns I have always preferred Remington semi autos.. My son bought an Extrema and was badgering me to modernize into the current century. He said the gun was magic. I traded something that I no longer used.

If I had one I probably would but I don't have any either.
