Steoger's are solid guns for a great price.

Im not really sure what they are going for now, but a few years back I picked up a Browning Gold 3.5 with a 26" barrel for well under that with money left for a case of steel, so just look around, I know up in Michigan, you can find them used for a very reasonable price!

Stoeger and Weatherby both make some great semi-auto shotguns for under $800. Check out the reviews and ask around. These guns are reliable and that's the bottom line. Good luck!

Win SX3. If you shop around you can find one around the $800 mark.

Franchi came out with their Affinity line last year and i can tell you they are PHENOMINAL guns! I have both the 12 and 20 gauge models and have not had one Failure with either one of them. I have run thousands of shells through both with no failure, it is also made in the benelli factory, same inertia design as the M2 with the recoil spring on the mag tube instead of the butt stock. its an M2 400 dollars cheaper!

Win SX3. If you shop around you can find one around the $800 mark. That or a Stoeger 3500 would be what I would shoot for, me inparticular would be the SX3, I have the SXP so I base that off of that, and there's nothing but good being said about SX3's by their owners. Also the Mossberg 930 is another good one.

I would take a look Franchi Affinity mentioned above. Buddy of mine has one of the previous designs and its a great gun. This new one should be better.

I recently picked up the Franchi Affinity. I love it. Hunted a few times with it this year and it is a solid gun. If you get the Camo it is right at $800. I haven't had a problem yet. (Knock on wood)

Saw this in Field and Stream about the Beretta A300. I met someone who had one and they really liked it. Sounds like a good gun.

Bass Pro sent out a mailer today with the Beretta A300 for $640. If I was needing an autoloader, I myself would strongly look at this. Sounds like a good deal.

definatly a winchester sx3, i have had mine for two years now and has shot through all conditions. has never had any problems and is eary to maintain. shoot 2 3/4 inch trap loads fine and tames big 3.5 inch goose loads down too. great gun, around $900. Also like the remington 11-87, but it tends to not cycle the best when it gets below 25 degrees or so up here in MN shootin late season honkers.

+1 on the Beretta A300 Outlander. Picked up one in January (wood stock), it's a great gun. Can't wait to blast away at some ducks with it.

I shot a Franchi Affinity 12ga/28" all Season last year. Put about 300 rounds through it during Dove Season before shooting 3" loads during Duck Season. Never had an issue, time will tell over the years, but I think it's the best deal for the $$$ out there right now. It reminds me of my Son's Benelli M2, but it cost a lot less. Again, seems like a quality Shotgun, but I'll really know after I've hunted with it for 5 more years! Good luck!
EDIT: I bought the Max-4 Camo Gun and was out-the-door including Tax for less than $800
