Id like to have me a semi auto..i keep tellin myself to go ok with the weatherby or a stoeger…but i for some dumb reason really want me a 11-87 20ga. Good luck man…🤠 "I dont quit..

As far as inexpensive semiauto's go, I love my 3020. Zero issues with it, it's light, it goes bang when I pull the trigger and generally shoots where it points. There are 3 certainties in an uncertain world: 1. All Politicians Are Liars 2. All Gun Laws Are an Infringement 3. Taxation Is Theft
