Waterfowl gun????

[Cochise]

I'm an Auto 5 guy if I am shooting anything other than a double gun. Its a design that has worked flawlessly for 100 years sort of like the 1911 of auto shotguns

I love my xtrema 2. It has yet to fail me running light 2 3/4 loads to heavy 3 1/2 mags. I've been abusing it for the past for few waterfowl season's. I can even load heavy 3 1/2 and light 2 3/4 loads at the same time and it cycles them without a problem.

I hunt with a bunch of guys throughout the season. Half of them had Benellis and only one now shoots a SBE. Every guy with a Benelli has had functioning problems. They all got rid of their Benellis and bought Berettas. The one SBE holdout had a single shot the last time we hunted. No one will ever convince me that there's a better autoloader than a Beretta. Most of our group shoot 391 Extremas, while a couple of us shoot Urika IIs.

That said, I continue to run into those who swear by their Benellis. Just can't prove they are worth a damn by what I've seen. My only Benelli was a UL, which failed to work on several ocassions. I sold it. I've had three 391s, two 390s and a 303. They all worked.[/QUJI

I shoot a a5 and old al48 both do not shot 3 1/2 but are great shooters never fail ice cold rain ect but
iv seen the same thing with benellis guys hitting them on the deck of the boat to unjamm them berettas would be my buy or new browning

This is just me, but I think you would be just fine without the kick off. It's nice and all, but not needed. If they offer free kick off then its a no brainer, but last time I checked between my legs I didn't see the need for spending an extra $200 it. Semi autos kick less than pumps already, low brass doesn't kick at all, and do you really feel the thump of a 3" or 3 1/2" when you have that bird or turkey in sight? I don't...Adreneline will take care of that.

I just want a good reliable gun that will shoot everytime, i dont care about how bad it kicks. I use a pump gun now and its not bad.

Exactly.

I think a lot of the problem with the inertia guns is in the shouldering technique especially when you got a lot of clothes on.

I had about 9,800 hulls ran through an m2 with about a .5 percent failure rate. Probably a good 4,500 hulls were 1oz 1200 reloads. Some of the failures I counted in my percentage were pookey shots

5% or .005%?

.5 is half which means that guns really sucks.

 

[PapiBarcelona]

Half a percent of 9800

 

[Redneck]

49 failures in 9800 rounds, that is a ton of shooting. I guess thats not a horrible number.

 

[PapiBarcelona]

.005

49 shells

 

[PapiBarcelona]

I'm sure it would have no real issue with stuff other than light target loads. Marginal failure rate at best.

 

[blackthorne]

What the hell is a pookey shot?

 

[PapiBarcelona]

Off sounding shot that didn't have enough power to cycle the action but the wad left the barrel.

I have an SBE II. Used for ducks, geese, pheasant... One of the most reliable guns I own. 3-1/2s kick like a mule, but it is rock solid. I was so impressed I got a benelli turkey gun, and plan to get a dedicated slugger too. If they made an o/u, the only shotguns I would buy would be benelli. That being said, I have heard good thing about the beretta, and I will be getting one of their o/u....I Think u will be ok as long as you stick with the Italian autos you will be gtg.

Looks like my tax returns are enough to cover a new gun which was a major suprise, so i guess im leaning more towards the Beretta A400 Xtreme, does anyone know where I can pick on up locally besides cabelas?

I bought a super vinci as soon as it came out. the serial number is 000083. I've cleaned it twice once this time last year and just last week. my family is in the pool business so I'm off all winter and waterfowl hunt 3-4 times a week. it has never failed on me and as you can tell i do not take very good care of it. Just recently on a snow goose hunt i dropped a round picked it up blindly along with corn leaves and dirt, threw it all into the chamber loaded it and it shot. I think they are all great guns and you can't go wrong once you get into the beretta benelli level. go feel them and see what points best for you.

Bass Pro and Dick's might have them. Call local dealers before you go on a drive to find one. What area are you located in?
