I hunted for years with a Rem. 1100 mag. and never had a problem. I then bought a 1187 camo 5 years back and had to replace 2 broken parts. When I received the most recent replacement part, I noticed that it was very rough with poor machine work. I decided that I had had enough and bought a benelli m2. I have only had it a week, but it is fast and light and has few moving parts to break. My son has had a m1 for 3 years and never had a problem.

OK, just got a call from the gunsmith, my 11-87 super mag. is a POS. After a lengthy conversation with him I am steering clear of the 11-87. He said it basically was a mass-produced hunk o' junk and the only reason he worked on mine is I have brought him a lot of business from my hunting buddies. It won't feed the new shell into the chamber 50% of the time. He's had it for a week so far.
Dang gun only has 2K rounds through it, I got it last year before duck season.
He said he can't get the parts for it for another two weeks. He basically said the only shotgun Remington currently makes that is worth a lick is the 870.
He also said that the only two auto's he would buy were the Benelli and the Beretta. He said they will both hang up once in a while, but they are by far the two best out there.
I asked him if he'd seen the new Extrema 2 and he said, "no, no one has brought one in yet." Now this is good info that he hasn't seen one yet, but it's only been out for a few months. Has anyone put a few cases of ammo through the new Extrema 2?

i have run about 500-750 rounds through my Xtrema2 and had no problems.....a great deal of these were with light loads (skeet, dove, and quail) and it never had a problem....you just gotta make sure every case or so to make sure you dont have a powder buildup (cause i used some cheap shells) that will prevent it from locking up all the way.....i know how to take the gun all the way apart and how to troubleshoot it, but i dont know the names of any of the parts
shouldnt have to clean the xtrema2 too often....its a well built, killin machine....and for a 3.5" gun, it is insanely light and balanced....not sure how they did it, but i love it
