Title: Best Semi Auto Shotgun
Post by: bulldogs40 on August 26, 2016, 06:12:41 AM: with waterfowl season on the way Im looking at getting a new semi. What is everyone running. Is the SBEII worth the money over something like an SX3

One day at Cabelas I was checking out a beretta extrema when the guy behind the counter had me try a SBEII.... I walked out with the SBEII and have never looked back. The feel is amazing and yes they are worth the hype!!! We hunt salt water on the coast and I have never had a single problem with it, plus they break down super easy so that you can clean it inside and out.

I had an older Benelli SBE it was an awesome gun also but it had blued/matt finish and collected surface rust .

Post by: Oldguy on August 26, 2016, 09:02:50 AM: I shoot a Benelli 1. Purchased because it felt the best when shouldering; just a natural placement every time I tried it in the store. I also like the ease of cleaning; no gas operated fuss like my old Barreta or Remington. My only complaint with Benelli was the customer service which now day might be a different story. It would help you decide if you could shoot a few clay pigeons with your considered guns. Good hunting!
