Beretta again , 391 model I had a good look at a few others ie Escort , Franchi etc in the gunshop a few months ago when picked up they did not feel right picked up the 391 synthetic and the balance was superb . Only thing is I got a 30" barrel version and now wish I would have got the 28" as it gets a bit cramped in the hide with all that length .

Dave,

 

What do you want it for.

 

If you do any wildfowling then I would sujest you go for the max 3.5" Steel jobbie.

 

If you are a herculean body builder and are not wanting it for pigeon / clay work then there is the Biakal 3.5" semi auto. It was heavy & front heavy with it.

 

The Escort is in 3.5" was a lot lighter and seemed quite a nice gun, if a bit short in the stock (for me). A but pad would have probably been Ok, (it was camo and I really want black synth).

 

Tried the Beretta 391 Xtrema and found it a better handling gun alltogether.

 

A lot of money more if on a tight budget but that is what I bought. :yp:

 

Trev.

 

Ps if its not for wildfowling then ignore most of the above and get what ever suits you :devil::devil::devil:

Hi Dave, I'm in a similar situation to you and I've spent quite a while researching what will be the best auto to go for. I've used a Remy a few times in the past and it was nice to shoot and came well recommended. I'm drawn to the Beretta but Benelli I've been told are massive in America and a lot of people are claiming that the Super Black Eagle in particular is the best semi auto ever produced. I'm hoping to try both in the near future.

I Have a Benelli which is a really nice gun, well made, no ports to keep clean & it cycles like a dream, The plus side as well is that being a lefty it comes as a true left hand oh, and it's Italian. I strongly recomend you take a look at one if you get the chance. They come in wood, synthetic & cammo dipped.

i have both a remi 1187 which shoots very well but on the heavy side i have a beretta pintail camo which i use for all my pigeon shooting and sometimes i use a bennelli 121 which is the same system as the pintail for now beretta has a share in benelli also . last week i have tried the new benelli comfort and i tell you it is a dream very well balanced light and has very good recoil so i suggest you try to view and try it for i thing it is one of the best guns around at the moment plus it has no pistons for benelli's work on a blow back system and it is so easy to clean . i have used benellis for 22 yrs as my first gun when i was 18 was a benelli 121 which i still have and has fired thousands of shoots and have not changed anything except the recoil spring in the stock for a few quid once about 8 yrs ago.

Well, in the end I went for something entirely different!

 

I ended up getting a Franchi 712 Raptor, and my first impressions of it are very good indeed. I have done a spot of casual pigeon shooting and will be taking it out on the clay range at the weekend.
