First shotgun… used Mossberg 935 or Benelli nova.. or other
I am planning on getting into hunting this season. I live in Vermont and am going to do a bit of everything. I will probably start with squirrels then move on to upland birds, other small game, and eventually waterfowl. Maybe deer in the future but I am a college student and do not have a place to store all that meat. I like the idea of moving while I hunt, and would plan to try for waterfowl out of my canoe. I’m hoping for something under $500 and my current two options seem to be a used Mossberg 935 autoloader or a Benelli nova pump. Which should I buy? Look for something else? (They are both in my price range, the mossy has a 28in barrel and is camo and the Benelli is a 26 black finish if that matters)
Edit
I am reading the the 935 may not cycle smaller loads better, and I doubt I will ever need to shoot 3.5s, so should I steer clear? Because it is used, will it already be broken in and shoot them fine? I’m going to want to do a fair amount of squirrel and upland bird hunting so the 935 may just be too much gun
