Buy recommendations Best “Do-It-All” Semi-Auto Shotgun Under $1,500?

Which semi-auto shotgun?

I’m debating between a few options. The main goal is to have a “do-it-all” shotgun for:

  • Casual clay sports (trap and skeet)
  • Hunting
  • General range use

Beretta A300 Ultima 28”

This one goes for about $1,400.

Mossberg 940 Pro Field 28”

I can get this one for $899, or the Cerakote version for $1,149.

Mossberg 940 JM Pro 24”

This one goes for about $1,320.

I like the JM Pro because of the 24” barrel. It doesn’t seem too long or too short, and it feels like a good middle ground. I can’t seem to find the A300 with a 24” barrel, at least on Almost Prohibited.

I know there’s no true “one-size-fits-all” shotgun, but I’m trying to stay under $1,500 and get something that comes as close as possible to covering all three uses.

What would you pick, and why? Any other models I should be looking at in this price range?
