I have Ithaca model 37, Remington 870, Benneli Nova and SBEII, and Winchester SX3. If you looking for a new auto I would say the Winchester SX3 or the Browning Silver are two of the best. From what i have found my SX3 and My good friends Silver are unstopable. The SX3 is a little lighter than the silver but they are almost the same gun. I am going to be buried with my 870 and my winchester.
870= unmatched reliability and it's just a little heavy
Bennelli= *click*

Winchester/Silver=

Not that it is a good practice, but i have not cleaned my gun yet this year and it has never failed me. Can't say the same for the Bennelli
Also, My little bro has the Berreta Extrema 2 it seems to be rock solid. I don't care for the feel of the gun but it is holding up great. It's just to long for me.
If it feels right buy it. Guns are like pants if they don't fit you right you will end up looking like an idiot.
