The 10 Best Waterfowl Shotguns

The inertia gun that defined the category. Runs dirty, cycles everything, and strips in seconds in a blind.

Kick-Off recoil system and the softest 3.5-inch shooting anywhere. Beretta's Blink action is the fastest made.

Oversized controls for gloved hands and a Cerakote finish that shrugs off salt marsh.

Light, fast-cycling, and hundreds cheaper than the Italian guns. Enormous value.

Inertia-driven with a genuinely good factory recoil pad. The value pick in 3.5-inch guns.

Rated for 1,500 rounds between cleanings. Best budget gas gun for high-volume seasons.

VersaPort gas system self-regulates between light and heavy loads without adjustment.

Inertia Plus system solves the bolt-unlocking problem that plagues inertia guns in the blind.

The cheapest reliable 3.5-inch inertia auto. Field-proven and easy to abuse without regret.

A pump that never argues with cold. Bottom eject keeps ice and shells out of your face.
