Suppressors Best 3-Gun Shotgun

Re: Best 3-Gun Shotgun

I'm not trying to use 3.5" shells, I just have a 3.5" chamber.

As far as I can tell the only disadvantage is that the receiver is longer, but the gun is so huge anyway that 1" of extra receiver doesn't really matter.
 
For 3-gun having a port for 3.5" shells and loading 2 3/4" shells is an advantage as you have a bigger target for the shells when loading in a hurry. I run a VersaMax tactical worked over by Benny Hill at Triangle Shooting Sports. No matter how much you're spending I think this is the best set up. It shoots softer than an M2. If rules allow where you shoot, you can get longer extensions form Nordic. I have a few different length extensions for use depending on where I'm shooting.

Not sure why this thread is in the suppressor section.
 
I had a good look at a Beretta 1301 comp today. I think it looks superb and is a ready made 3-gun out of the box and it is cheaper than the Benelli M2 even pre any modifications.
 
I will vote for Mossberg 930. However, you may need to upgrade some plastic parts with aftermarket parts to make it more reliable, especially for matches. I purchased one from my friend and immediately found the fore-end retainer is broken. He only shot around 500 rounds. But it is cheap (I only spent $300), and you get what you paid for.
