Reliable Sec2 Semi/Pump Shotguns
What are good (and ideally cheap!) sec2 semi auto or pump action shotguns on the market today?
Hatsan are everywhere, but I hear very mixed reports. Whats worth buying (new or s/h) with a budget of around £300.

A Mossberg 500 P/A is always my first choice.

I have a Mossberg A500 Select Choke pump action that I have had for 39 years cleaned twice in that time (covered in blood) never been serviced and it works first time every time.

I bought a Winchester 1300 when I was eighteen and still have it.

Re: Reliable Sec2 Semi/Pump Shotguns
I bought a Beretta 303 semi auto probably about 1988, it was second hand then and I still have it. Can count on one hand the amount of times its failed to cycle correctly. Might be a little bit more than your budget but worth a look.

I've got one of the first gen Hatsans. Never had an issue with it. Me and 3 mates put 1000 cartridges through it in one day and it never missed a beat, and that was with 28gram loads.

Re: Reliable Sec2 Semi/Pump Shotguns
I have Savage 77 its probably almost as old as me (couldn't check the serial number...it doesn't have one ) its never given trouble, and a Marrochi semi, same thing never given trouble (although I do try and clean the gas system every slab or so ) does anyone actually make an unreliable pump or semi?
