Pump Action Shotguns: Top Sellers on GunBroker for September 2025
Fall is knocking and bird seasons are lighting up calendars across the country. If you’re eyeing a new scattergun, the latest Outdoor Analytics dashboard of top-selling pump action shotguns on GunBroker for September 2025 paints a clear picture: familiar workhorses still rule the roost, but a few budget upstarts are making serious noise. Below I break down the trends, what they mean for hunters and range regulars, and where the value sweet spots sit.
Why Pump Guns Still Dominate
Pumps are simple, reliable, and legal in virtually every hunting season. They digest a wide range of loads without fuss and shrug off mud, cold, and truck beds. That practicality shows in the numbers this month.
Brand Leaders at a Glance
- Mossberg owns the category with roughly one-third of all new units sold, anchored by the 500/590 family and the value-priced Maverick 88.
- GForce Arms continues its budget surge, landing in the No. 2 spot with aggressive pricing that starts around the low-hundreds.
- KelTec rides the KSG’s bullpup appeal to a solid top-three share despite a higher median price.

Value pricing is clearly drawing newcomers, while premium houses like Benelli and Browning still sell to hunters seeking premium fit and finish. Expect Mossberg to keep the crown if supply holds and rebates remain steady.
