Trying to choose a semi-auto shotgun

[Never_Enough]

Loved my Saiga 12, but prices have gone too high IMO. Wanted to get a Leader Arms AR-12, but cannot find one locally. (Not dealing with FFL transfer pain in the butt)

Benelli, etc are also more $ than I can justify on a range toy.

Anyone here have experience w/the EAA MKA1919 Match or the Stoeger Model 3000?

Looking for 18.5" barrel

I got my VEPR 12 for $700

It's about twenty or thirty millions times more reliable than the Saigas.

I could go for one of those if I found stock at a local store.

Another vote for the Vepr 12 here. I paid $800 with the thumb hole stock.

Ask one of your local ffl's to order you one. Most can order damn near anything you can think of if they don't have it in stock.

So you are opposed from buying from an online retailer?

Not wanting to deal w/FFL trasfers & fees. However, if the deal is too great to not buy, I would do it.

Well dealing with buying from individual from out of state can sometimes be a pita.

Buying from a dealer online, is actually pretty painless. And in my opinion, better than buying from a local gun store (even excluding the obvious price difference).

On a side note here is a brand new VEPR 12 from a dealer for $710, with the hidden costs of $30 for shipping and probably $30 for FFL transfer fee, you would be looking for an out the door price of $770. Obviously no tax, since it's an out of state purchase.

It would be close in price of finding one for $710 at your local gun store and paying sales tax.
