I have always shot Brownings super well and they have been good to me, so that's where I lean. That said, I have looked at and shot a handful of others and would not be afraid of owning a Benelli or a Beretta.

stoeger

:;:imwithstupid

Ha ha, I suppose he could buy 3 stoegers with his budget and carry 2 of them every push so he doesn't have to reload? Never mind, that's brilliant!

anyone here use a beretta Urika AL391? been in the market for a new(to me) shotgun and I see one of these on bisman for $600. I like the looks of this gun, just curious as to the performance and reliability. anyone got any input? sorry juan, not trying to hijack your thread!

I bought a 2010 or so (new at Outdoorsman) couple years ago for waterfowl after shooting a Horsager loaner at skeet. Nary a misload with light loads and foolproof for duck/goose loads. Too heavy for upland imo. I did a ton of research, they are well regarded.

I can never get over how awkward Stoegers feel at the store when you shoulder them. It's like they are built for another race of beings.

This one is sure purty:

Sales Guy at Scheels in Minot was pushing the Browning Maxus last fall. Went in to buy Benelli and left not knowing what I should get. Held off last fall but want a good semi.

Yes.

 

[guywhofishes]

I think it's critical you shoot a gun at clays prior to buying.

 

[WLYHNTR]

I have a Browning Maxus and love it

I will have to say versamax. it is a little on the heavy side for upland but I still like how it shoulders like my trusty old 870 that I killed dozens of roosters with. Benelli m2 would be my second choice. I go with a 28 inch barrel on all my scatter guns

The knock off feature on a Beretta is amazing.

+1.
I have the 3.5 in chambering of the A5. I simply shoot the humpbacks better. My eye follows the target and rib together.... and makes it a much more "fluid" shot.

Always got my butt kicked with this gun in Call of Duty. I wouldn't recommend it.

I love mine! Performance and reliability have been excellent.

One of these with a patternmaster Choke would be awesome for spring snow goosing. just saying....

Kick-off. The extra springy thing in the butt-stock.

Everyone has told you to buy what they own.
I'm telling you to buy the one that fits YOU. If you now have a shotgun that makes you deadly, measure length of pull, drop at comb, drop at heel. Buy a semi auto with as close to those dimensions as you can find. Don't just toss it to your shoulder in the store and look down the rib. Bring a measuring tape and measure different guns in the store. The suggestion of borrowing different guns at a range is excellent. How your face/body fits the butt stock is your "rear sight".

Beretta and Benelli include all the parts/pieces for the user to easily make those adjustments. If you can manage a philips head screwdriver and a deep 12MM socket you're golden.

Find and shoot an M2. I am really happy I bought my M2 last year. I just love it. I bought the black 20g (very light weight) almost exclusively for doves/pheasants. A swell guy on FBO let me borrow his for a week to try out. It has a very high rib with a "wide open view" that you have to see to understand/appreciate what I mean.

One advantage of being on a skeet/trap league team (even one with zero competitive drive like ours) is that you get to see/handle/shoot a lot of guns. Some feel great to one guy - the absolute worst to another.

Is there a range in Dickinson? I can't recall from 20 years ago when I lived there.

Maybe you have a local "Horsager" who has - or can get - a certain guns for you to try?

I'm currently saving for that benelli m2 20ga. Such a sweet shooting/handling gun

Mrs. DirtyMike will even shoot my M2 12ga. The inertia system on them is amazing. A week after I bought it I won a weatherby semi auto. It's like shooting an RPG.
