Maverick 88. I've put hundreds of shells through mine without a hiccup. Everything from birdshot to buckshot and slugs.

Well my vote for NEF pardner. Its the only one on the list and the only cheap shotgun i own or have shot. it was assembled wrong from the factory, but once they corrected it, its been flawless

Remington 870 Express for "Other"

Mossberg 500, they are shotguns used for $250 is fine for a decent gun that has lots of parts and add ons available.

Mossburg

Not NIB but the older Winchester 1200 or 1300 defender is another good "sleeper"

18 1/2" 7 + 1 usually go for around $300 - $350 tops.

Spend the extra few bucks for the Mossberg 500 vs the Maverick if you go that route. It's not that the maverick is a bad gun, but the safety on the Mossberg is perfect.

Here's me Winnie.

Im interested in picking up one of those chicom Hawks at some point, looks like a fun beater.

I agree. I had one. Great functioning shotgun. Just feels cheap as the Mossberg 500 does. I have to say that my Remington 870 Tactical that I got for about the same price as one could get a Maverick feels much more solid and durable, better finish, etc.

But if I came across another Maverick on the cheap I would buy it just because I know they work.

Another vote for the NEF Pardner. I got a used single shot for under a hundred bucks.
