which shotgun???

[frazihunt]

so I've been saving all summer and i have around $1500. im looking for a semi-auto that will last me a long time and that i can rely on I've been leaning towards a browning maxus but im not a 100% sure yet. what do you guys think? what are some of the better shot guns on the market right now?

[ebitzan]

i would think about getting a benelli super black eagle 2 or a benelli supervinci. the less moving parts=less possiable things that could go wrong

See if you can borrow a Benelli; I find them had on the shoulder and face. I only shoot Beretta's a lot softer shooting. My SP10 Remgington shoots softer than a SBE. PS I shoot at least 400+ rounds a month at Sporting Clays. My Winchester SX the same as a Browing craped out at 500 rounds and is heading back for repairs.

Winchester SX3.  Best shot gun I have ever shot.  Very happy with my purchase 2 seasons ago. I have had no problems with it.  As much as I like it and recommend it to other people I think that when you get into shot guns in this price range, they all perform.  It just matters what fits you best.  Just my

remember, the birds dont care what you are shooting, a 200$ shotgun sounds the same to them as a 7000$ shotgun, what matters is how it feels to you, and how much pride you put into your purchase... however, you do get what you pay for.......................

Whatever you get, make sure it FITS you.  The best shotgun in the world is useless if it doesn't put the shot where you're looking!  I couldn't hit the side of a barn with my first shotgun.  Sold it to a tall, lanky buddy, and he couldn't miss with it.

Beretta Extrema II or Beretta Unico Explorer. You can get the Kick Off on both of those, reduces the recoil dramatically. Will shoot the lightest and heaviest loads. The Extrema's might be fazed out soon, so you might find some deals.

Benelli M2 with 26" barrel.

Benelli SBE II or a Browning Maxus.

I like the Maxus better but they are both fine guns.

  Try guns and see what fits you. The SBE II fits me great but it may not fit you.
