Bird hunting gun
« on: Jan 31, 2014, 12:10:48 AM »
I'm getting ready to buy my next bird hunting shotgun. Plan to use it for everything from turkey, waterfowl, to pheasant. After a lot of shooting and research, I've narrowed my choices down to 2: the benelli SBE2 and the beretta A400 Xtreme. What do y'all think?

Both nice guns...  Expensive but you get what you pay for...

I'd look at the Remington 870 much cheaper & the old H & R brake open single hand me downs work great
no where I can find any 28 gauge shells need some bad ....

I use an 11-87 supermag for every thing.  Sounds like you have a tough choice to make.

I completely respect the Remington 870 and all the other tried and true guns but I want to treat myself to something really special hence why I'm choosing between 2 of the most expensive shotguns. Just wondering if anyone's tried either of them and has a significant opinion. I know the A400 has that really cool compression feature in the stock to aid with recoil reduction but do you guys think it's better then the recoil reducer built in to the benelli? Can you switch out the chokes on either of these?
