    Can anyone advise if there are any stores left that specialize in, or carry at lot of shotguns? Over unders in particular. I don't mind driving a couple hours out of Maryland if need be.
    Thanks.

    Not sure exactly what kind of shotgun/s you are in the market for but The Gun Shop in Essex, Md typically has a fair amount of used shot guns in the left side room. Prices styles and make very but might not hurt to check out. They are to bad price wise not the greatest on new guns at least but might be able to haggle with the old man who owns the place on price.

    I highly recommend Etchens. They’re the largest Beretta dealer in the country. And good people. They can help you with getting the gun fitted to you too. You can hit Cove Creek on the way to Etchens. I haven’t been to Elite but I’ve heard good things about them too. If you can be more specific about what you’re looking for that would help me in advising you on where to look. Also price range. Competition target guns get real pricey. A $2000 budget is a lot different than a $10,000 budget.

    https://www.joeletchenguns.com/ Joel Etchen is one of the best shops in the Nation.



    https://gueriniusa.com These folks have some really nice guns and are located in Maryland. I have a bud who bought one for $16,000. :eek:

    I have a number of friends that shoot Krieghoffs, Kolars, and Perazzi’s in that price range. And I beat them with my Beretta 682! I have one friend that has multiple $30,000+ shotguns!

    Albright's in Easton also handles a lot of shotguns, if you were to decide on a Guerini or Fabarm they can go to Cambridge with you and you can select your Guerini from the warehouse and have it fitted for you at Guerini.

    Many, many used shotguns on the racks at continental arms. Pumps and doubles. Saw a number of winchester md 12s. And new but i didn’t pay attention to the new although i think i saw one at 12k on the wall. Jay will steer you straight.

    I have to echo what many others said... Joel Etchen... I had a good experience and I wasn’t getting one of their top of the line guns... also, is a nice drive up.

    Clay Target Sports (in NJ) hasn't been mentioned. My gun along with many many other shooters I know have guns from him. One of the best Gunsmiths on the East Coast.

    All of this really depends on what you are looking for in a gun and what your budget is. As with most things in life, you are far better off buying new/used rather than full retail. Particularly when you might not be sure what will best suit you.

    Poking around some local clubs, borrowing or renting a few different guns first is a good idea. Chances are you'll find the people friendly and willing to help out.

    Lately, you can't handle a firearm in NJ unless you have a NJ firearm owners ID card. I don't know if they would even talk to an out of State customer.
