All of the days between seasons. My mad hunting skills are only surpassed by my mad fishing skills!

Isnt that illegal to hunt "between" seasons?

Been hunting my camo Sbe. for about 12+ years now. Hunt ducks and doves and whatever else is flying around. Cant say Ive really had any problems with it. Very minimal cleaning, just a lil earl.

OH, AND I PLEAD THE 5TH ON "HANGING THE 4TH"

I'm not gonna keep going back n forth on it cuz it's pointless. I've said my peace. Now everyone else can say there's.

You came out the gate swinging, calling a reputable gun a piece of junk. So, lets o back and forth.

Tell me how they an make such a superior product in the same country for so much cheaper?

Tell me how often you submerge your expensive fire arm in saltwater throughout the hunting season?

Tell me about all the other things are junk because they weren't the choice you made.

My gun goes completely under prolly on avg 3 times a year. It's .3-.6 pounds heavier than the other guns in competition. It cycles faster not that it's an issue in hunting. And as far as how they make it cheaper, that's irrelevant to me. It's just better. Only thing you can say that's better than the beretta is a fraction of a pound in weight and ergonomically feels better, but that will vary from shooter to shooter soo that's not a solid standpoint really

Man if your dropping your gun in the water 3 times a year, I think you may be doing something wrong!
Between 10 different guys that Hunt with me we haven't submerged our guns 3 times in the last 15 yrs.
Oh, and were not hunting pit blinds in rice fields, it's cane patches and mud flats in Venice! Just as tough as the wax.

Between my father and I we have an assortment of diff. Shot guns in the last 30 yrs A5's, Golds, super black eagle 1,2's& 2 vinci's, and 2 berettas!
The only ones that continuously make there way back into the marsh is the benelli's! They just work!
I've had issues with every gun mentioned , but the least are the benelli's!
I'd put money that every gun mentioned above would make it through a weekend of hunting after being submerged , but to knowingly neglect a 1,000-2,000 dollar shotgun after being submerged in saltwater marsh is just plain ignorant!
I really believe its cases like this that make it hard for a honest sportsman to get warranty work done on a firearm for manufactured defects!

If you think a Benelli kicks too hard, you need to find a new hobby cause you are a POO NANNY!

And it sounds like your daddy never taught you how to take care of your gun!

That's what I was thinking... I've shot the Extrema, Extrema2, M2 Super, SBE, and SBE2 and there isn't a noticeable difference in kick among any of them. None of them kicks at all compared to my old Winchester from back in the day... These guns are powder puffs.

[FF_T_Warren]

Didn't say it kicked too hard I said it kicked harder

A400 is actually .7 pounds heavier than my gun. And that's 3/10s from being a whole pound heavier.

Well comparing 28" to 28" was the numbers I saw on their pages.

I dont know about yall but nothing is cool about throwing your gun in the mud and picking it up and hunting the rest of year without cleaning it.... that is pretty dumb.. I agree, i dont clean my gun but 1-2 times a year but that doesnt mean i dont WHIPE it down after every hunt. ANY gun only works as good as you take care of it, IMO..

I been shooting A400 for two years and its a damn good gun, as is the SBE2.. I just dont like the way the beretta points compared to the SBE2, thats why i will be purchasing a new SBE2 very shortly..

but to sit here and say both guns are crap and blah blah blah, is a bit ridiculous..

Yep

Nothing feels as good as a Benelli auto. No matter which one you buy. Beretta is a fine gun as well. Just not what I like. Just like Ford, GM, Dodge. Everyone has their personal preference. I have friends who shoot Browning Maxus and A400s. Neither have had problems with them and they really like both.

And yes, you can easily tell difference in weight between A400 and Super Vinci.

[FF_T_Warren]

And I got a friend that has an extrema 2 that he didn't clean for 3 years and he flippin hunts 3 days a week an the thing was still rust free and working like a champ.

[all star rod]

Benelli or bust......

[FF_T_Warren]

Now seriously. I'm out of this convo this time. I've said all I've got to say on the subject. Good luck with your upcoming purchase. I hope your happy with whatever one you choose cuz in the end that's what matters
