![]() And I learned long ago that a good day of shooting isn’t defined by the name stamped on the barrel of your shotgun. One or two are personal favorites that elbowed out other, possibly more deserving classic shotguns, but this is my list, after all. ![]() While most of the guns are long-running bestsellers, some were commercial failures. That left room for innovators like the unpretentious 1200. ![]() I chose the Purdey to represent all London Best doubles, including H&H just as I picked Arrizabalaga to carry the flag for the whole Basque region. In no imaginable bizarro universe is the Winchester 1200 greater than the Holland, but I didn’t want this merely to be a litany of the world’s fine shotguns. Some very deserving candidates, such as the Holland & Holland Royal Ejector-one of the world’s finest side-by-sides-didn’t make the cut. from 2002-present Winchester’s John Olin didn’t want to build just any side-by-side he wanted an unbreakable one. Every gun on this list has at least one of those qualities most possess several. Years Produced: 1931-1959 produced by Connecticut Shotgun Manufacturing Co. What makes them great? Artistry, innovation, reliability, ergonomics, durability. Thus, here is my list of the 50 greatest shotguns in the world in no particular order. The question I get the most as this magazine’s Shotguns editor is this: “Should I buy a Remington 870 or a Mossberg 500?” I reply that I happily shoot both, that left-handers like the Mossberg’s ambidextrous safety, and that both are affordable and popular guns.īut there’s more to the world of shotguns than inexpensive pumps.
