I TRADED MY 11-87 sps supermag for the benelli, dont get me wrong it was a nice gun, but that benelli is cycles way smoother, faster, and stays way clean than that lead filled remington!

Browning Auto 5

Browning Auto 5.
Traditional, Reliable and Deadly.

A close second would be a double barrel.

And can you really beat a 300.00 870 Express for the money?

I just bought an Extrema 2 with the 28 inch barrel. I took the gun out this weekend and ran about 100 rounds through it. I am very satisfied with the overall performance.

I have a Benelli M1 Super 90 28" synthetic I will sale. PM me if interested. It has been a great gun, I just like my 390 better because I have been shooting them for years. Bought a synthetic 390 for ducks to match my wood grade I use for clays and dry birds.

Benelli SBE with camo. So far so good. Wasted a lot of doves and a fair share of ducks too. However, I'm taking the ole Winchester pump to SD next month in addition to the Benelli. Although it's never happened, I damn sure don't want to have it jam in a blind that far from home. Expecting temps in the 20's the whole time we're there.

a benelli is clearly your best bet. Have had mine for 5 years and never had a bit of problem with it.

I asked my dad about those benellis and berettas. He said that he wasn't sure about the newer guns and how they did in the water, but he knows that not many can top an 870 in the h2o. He also said that he would NOT put a browning in the water, though. 8)

They all suck. Go with a Charles Daly. Hah! Seriously though who's going to get on here and say their gun sucks? No man with any self pride is going to.. I have a Stoeger 2000 bought it for a tad over 500$ it's not a Benelli but it's all I could afford and it's a great shooting reliable gun I'm not going to brag on it but it is a good gun for the money..so far... Oh well I guess I'll see what it does over duck season that'll show you what a gun's made of. I always have my dad's old BPS, an 870 and an 1100 in case the old Stoeger bites the dust.

Benelli SBE has been great. Shoots fast,smooth and gun holds good. I have had it for almost 5 years and no problem.
