Hello from Hico.

[TxSkye]

Hey Yall!
I found this forum while searching for a gun to get my brother for christmas (we have a deal to get each other a gun every year either for b-day or xmas). I am already addicted to my automotive forum (cherokeesrt8.com) and know how good of a resource forums can be.

About myself:
I'm 27, live in a small town and am starting a gun collection. The funny thing is I don't hunt, but I love to shoot.
So far I own:
XD springfield 9mm
AK-47
L1A1 rifle
newengland breakover 20ga
Puma 454 Casull leaver action nickel

I'm in the market for a Benelli Shotgun, probably a pump, black, and not over $600. Any suggestions?

I'm thinking something like this

kWelcome aboard. You dont have to like to hunt to like to shoot or carry for personal defense. I quit hunting w/ a serious passion many yrs ago. I will still go if the convenient chance arrives but dont sweat not getting to go. Your collection is a good one for defense. Keep it growing. I like the deal you have w/ your brother.

I've been to the Coffee Cup a few times, that is about all my experience in Hico.

As for the shotgun, you can't go wrong with the Benelli Nova or Super Nova. I just bought a Nova and they have them on sale at Sports Authority for approx $320. I added the recoil reducer to the inside of the stock and a limbsaver recoil pad. It is a very nice shooter now. You can have all that for approx $450, then tack on a +2 or whatever shell tube.

You'll be good to go.
