Best of the cheap 20 gauge shottys?


TresMon

Recommended Posts

My wife is working & staying in a very remote place in very rural Canada right now.

 

I want to get her a cheap but reliable 20 gauge to leave in her vehicle/have at her Basecamp.

 

Pump or semi. What's the best low price budget 20 gauge that is reliable? One of these Turkish imports?

 

I know, buy once cry once...

I'm just looking for something that can be used and abused until she's out of that bear & wolf infested base camp.

 

Thanks

The words reliable and Turkish when talking shotguns are an oxymoron. Could get lucky, the majority of the internet has nothing good to say.

Maverick 88 is universally agreed upon as the best cheap shotgun. This is a youth version which may fit the wife decently if shorter arms. Same site has multiple lengths  

They’re a drop shipper. Think it’s usually $20 ship and no tax at least to TN.

I have a couple of the 88s, 500 and 590 and no issues with them whether it be critters or shooting buck and slugs.

I have no idea about Canadian laws though. Can she carry it across the border?

3 options

1) Bring her home from that anti 2nd place. My guess she is making good money, but is it worth it? A question only yall can answer.

2) She should hang out with people that has firearms.

3) See the link to the site above, do the paper work, get the permit. Might have to leave the shotty in Canada.

Thank you for your responses.

 

I know the rules and regs of Canada.

I've gone to visit her a few times there and stay with her at the camp. And hunt.

 

I have the correct RCMP form;

I've taken a long gun each time. No trouble at the border, they hardly even slowed me down.

But to my original question- can somebody actually reccomend a/few basic shotguns?

I think Maverick is the best thing going on the cheap side right now. I have a 88 Security. Despite it probably being one of the cheapest shotguns I own I trust it. I've fired it a lot. It's seen a ton of truck miles and several hundred trail miles via ATV and SXS. What it hasn't seen is a lick of maintenance outside of wiping mud of it. It's never failed to go boom. If I lost it today I'd buy another tomorrow.
