My business partner just purchased a Beretta Xtrema 2 and it's sweet. We will find out next month in Canada how it performs.

I have a Browning Gold and a matt finished black synthetic Browning A5. They both have worked great but I prefer the A5 (which is no longer in production).

I have had one of all three and never had a problem with either. I just seem to prefer the Browning gold. All are good guns, it is just a matter of personal prefernce and another thing the Brownings doesnt cost quite as much. That' my pennies worth

If I had any kind of shoulder problem or if I just had to have an auto, I'd go with the Extrema or the Gold. But, hands down, all things considered, I'd get a Beretta 686 o/u. Just gets better every time I shoot it!

By the way, a friend who I shoot with regularly just bought a CZ o/u that costs $800 and is a very good gun (shoots 3"). I looked at a case colored 20 ga. s/s that was calling my name at $850. Beautiful guns, good wood (love the Prince of Wales grip, good fit, shoots great. Seems to be a good bargain for someone wanting to get into the o/u market.

All three are great guns and I looked at all three when I was buying my main hunting gun. I know this sounds simple but buy the one that fits you best since they are all great guns. I myself bought the Benelli SBE and have not problems with it so far. It just fit me the best. The feel of the Berretta and the Browning just didn't fit right to me.

You need to check out the Super X2 from Winchester, it's the same gun as the Browning Gold but a little cheaper i think.

Postby jdbuckshot » Wed Sep 28, 2005 4:55 pm

i looked at the 391 today, i liked it, found a 391 extrema for 890 bucks new, is that a good deal?

Extrema or Extrema 2. The original Extrema is a bulkier gun than the Ex 2. Also the trigger pull is harder on the extrema, poundage is set way higher than most guns. But yeah for $890 that's a great deal.

Postby jdbuckshot » Wed Sep 28, 2005 6:13 pm

yea i noticed the thickness in the grip was alot thicker than the extrema 2, and i like a light trigger pull that is light, because im a jerker!
