I use a Beretta Xtrema2 for ducks, geese, turkeys.  For upland game birds I use a CZ Redhead.  My sons shoot Benelli and really like those, at times I wish I had the Benelli even though I really like my Beretta, all good guns IMO.

Stoeger 3500
Best shotgun I've owned.
Maturity is when you have the power to destroy someone who did you wrong but instead you breathe, walk away, and let life take care of them.

I typically use the Benelli SBEII or the SP-10 or Browning 10 as my main guns, but I have other options that I use depending on what I am shooting.   :tup:

Great gun. I love mine, the only problem though is now my wife wants one too.
Be more concerned with your character than your reputation. Your character is who you actually are while your reputation is merely who others think you are.

Depends on what I am after!  Grew up busting ducks and geese with a Winchester model 12. Today my main two guns are Franchi 20 gauge and Beretta Silver Pigeon 20 gauge.  I probably shoot the Franchi best, but there is no better feeling than chasing quail with a double.  Upland is my passion so I like light weight.  Both of these are ultra light and trouble free.  Never had much use for a 12.  Not even on geese and turkey. 

I have a .410 double I use for grouse and the occasional pheasant.  Would use it more if I could get Remington HD for it.  Back in the days before steel shot restrictions it was my main gun.  Ducks, geese, quail, chuckar and pheasant didn't matter loaded with buffered #6.  Though I'm not much of a sky buster.

I realize this is in the waterfowl file.  Haven't done much of that recently due to regulations.  I like my ducks up close, tight and putting the breaks on.  Too high of risk hitting what you don't want or can't shoot behind your intended target.  First time I had to turn myself in for an accidental I quit.  Sort of miss dogs busting ice and shivering with excitement.  But, cackling roosters, rocketing quail and frozen chuckar make me forget about it pretty quick.

Sure wish I could have figured out how to make a living in the upland game.  But, archery ain't too bad a gig either :chuckle:
