My buddy Dave was suppose to make a hunt with me in the morning. Looks like he has to find another gun first from the text he just sent me. This is the third xtrema I know of that this happened to. I was looking to buy a used one but I think my mind is made up I'm going with a sbe2 instead. He's damn lucky to still have a left hand

Yep old shells that had gotten wet is likely the cause. He cut a couple open and said the bb's were rusted even. That combined with a dirty bore. FYI $900 if this happens to you.

I was very lucky yesterday. Guys were shooting at some ducks and I heard the gun poof and started screaming to stop. Guy got a wad stuck in it about a foot up the barrel, he was shooting some Xpert shells. Had to take a rozo and jam down the barrel to get it out.

Mine was an xpert Saturday and so was his. The other two I seen blow were estates though.

Why say you'll never buy a Beretta and then say this? How in any way, shape or form was this the guns fault?

I didn't find out it was the shell until after the original post. He called me later in the afternoon after he had cut the shells open. But still this is the 3rd xtrema I know of this happening to. Coincidence maybe....I just hear about the low maintenance and reliability of the sbe's. I hunt a lot more than most and I'm hard on my equipment. I don't have the time to be cleaning a gun every couple hunts.

last year we had several (4 or 5)estate shells have the brass break off the plastic hull and lodge in the barrel. Not far enough for another shell to get loaded but a pain to get the plastic out of the barrel. A rozo wouldn't knock them out.

I'm gonna be honest and I love my Benellis. I have M1, SBE, SBE II, and Super Vinci. But you gotta keep em clean at least every few hunts or you may run into problems with hang ups and jams being they are inertia operated. I would say a Beretta is more low maintenance due to gas operation. But they are very reliable if you keep them clean.
