  • Boomsticks on a Budget

    Let's face it, we can't all afford a $500+ pump shotgun, I know I couldn't even afford $300+ with my meager wages. Even if you can afford the more pricey ones, sometimes it's nice to have a reliable, cheap "beater"shotgun that you don't have to worry about scratching up or slogging through the mud with. In this installment we're going to explore the world of low-cost (under $250) pump shotguns that won't break the bank and almost anyone can afford.

    Recently I was in the market for a 12ga pump shotgun, under $250, i did some research, checked out some different options, the following is what I came up with.

    H&R/NEF Pardner Pump Synthetic


    video by: http://neverenuffammo.blogspot.com/


    This is the shotgun I ended up buying at a local Walmart for $159.

    The Pardner is basically a Remington 870 clone, made in China by Norinco. The Norinco/Interstate Arms version of this shotgun is called the Hawk 982. Now before you scoff at the idea of buying a Chinese made shotgun, check this out: H&R is owned by Remington! (Mine actually shipped from Remington Arms in Memphis, TN.) Anything that fits the 870 will fit the Pardner, except choke tubes and barrels. The Pardner uses Winchester/Browning/Mossberg type chokes, and an 870 barrel will not fit due to the location of the barrel ring. 870 Magazine extensions will fit with a simple modification. My first impression of this gun is that it's solid and built well. When I shook it, it didn't rattle. The slide is mounted on double bars, and works pretty smooth after a short break in period. It shoots like you expect a 12ga to shoot. It's a strait forward, bare bones, rugged shotgun, well worth the small price in my opinion. One problem is the lack of replacement barrels, H&R does not sell the barrels, you have to send them your gun so they can fit the barrel on it.

    Model Pardner Pump-Synthetic
    Ammo 12 Gauge, 20 Gauge
    Stock Black synthetic with grooved fore-end and ventilated recoil pad.
    Barrel 28"

    Weight 7-1/2 lbs.
    MSRP: $233 (I paid $159)

    Also available from H&R is the Home Defense version called the Pardner Pump Protector.

    Mossberg Maverick 88


    Video by: millerusaf

    The Maverick 88 is a more affordable, bare bones version of the venerable Mossberg 500 series shotgun. Most accessories that fit the Mossberg 500, will fit the 88. The same Walmart I bought my Pardner at also had one of these, but only in 20ga, if they would've had it in 12ga, I probably would've bought it instead. Made in the USA.

    88™ 6-Shot Security model features a 3" chamber, 18½" Cylinder Bore fixed choke and a non-ported barrel. A rugged black synthetic stock and forearm, blued metal finish and a brass front sight bead are also included. MSRP: $226 (actual price should be below $200)


    88™ 8-Shot Security model features a 3" chamber, 20" Cylinder Bore fixed choke and a non-ported barrel. A rugged black synthetic stock and forearm, blued metal finish and a brass front sight bead are also included.MSRP: $233 (actual price should be below $200)

    Well, these are all I could find while doing my research. Remember, just because a shotgun is cheap, it doesn't mean it isn't good quality and reliable. As long as it goes bang when you pull the trigger, that's all you need, no bells, no whistles. (You can add those later if you want.) I don't feel one bit of shame for owning cheap guns, quite the opposite, I'm pretty darn proud for not buying a more expensive gun when basic is all I need. If you look in the right places you can support your "gun habit" and pay the bills too.
