“semi-auto shotgun”

Managing Editor Jon Draper discusses the TriStar Arms .410 Viper G2, the latest addition to our #SundayGunday series.

All things considered, the Benelli SBE 3 is a well-planned evolution of not just the SBE platform, but semi-automatic shotguns in general. The dominance of the pump gun is over, never to return.

An upgraded model that features a downgraded price tag? It seemed too good to be true—but the Winchester SX4 proved us wrong.

In no particular order, here are our picks for the best new shotguns of 2017.

Introduced last year at SHOT Show 2016, the Instinct Catalyst and Affinity Catalyst are Franchi’s answer, or some might write “gift,” to women who want guns tailored to their needs.

Though the idea that Turkish-made shotguns aren’t up to snuff remains a common theme in gun shops across the United States, it’s simply not true. Among the new arrivals is a quirky but intriguing release from ATA Arms in the form of its Venza.

It’s natural to wonder where the new V3 Field Sport shotgun fits in Remington’s storied semi-automatic lineage. Officials at Big Green are quick to tell you it’s not a baby Versa Max, though it shares a lot of that gun’s technology.

The holidays are here, and there's no shortage of gifts out there for a hunter or huntress. That said, finding the right one—particularly on short notice—can be a challenge. Fortunately for you, the editors of American Hunter have assembled a few recommendations.

Unless you’re one of those folks out there that’s a devout fan of the centerfire rifle (for all applications), you’ve probably noticed that Italians have a habit of making pretty nice shotguns.

Benelli’s been at the scattergun game for just under 50 years —which still makes it something of a new kid on the block in this industry—but has more than made its mark on history.
