I am trying to decide on which shotgun to carry with me when I am out coyote hunting. It would be used for close in work, while my Ruger American Predator (6.5 Creedmoor) would be used for the long range stuff.
I have three 12 gauge shotguns to chose from. First is a Beretta AL390 with a 26" vent rib barrel. I have a standard set of chokes (Full, Mod & IC) for it, plus an XFXL (Extra Full Extra Long) choke as well. I have used this shotgun for dove, duck, goose, pheasant and turkey.
My next shotgun is an older H&K Benelli M1 Super 90. It has an 18-1/2" barrel and ghost ring sights. The barrel would need to be threaded for chokes. From my understanding, once threaded, it would be able to use the same chokes as my Beretta.
The last one is a Mossberg 835. It has a 24" slugster barrel with rifle sights. This one would have to be threaded for chokes as well.
So I am wondering, out of these three, which one would you choose (and why) for coyotes....?
