This is going to be more like census to see witch 3 1/2 semi-auto is most commonly owned by PW members

Aye either way I'm interested to see what peoples thoughts are! Looks like a more evenly distributed field than I expected so far!

quite right as i bought the 3 1/2 gun that i wanted, well almost... i bought a nice black benelli super black eagle 2 when i actually wanted the camo version but i had to buy what i could afford within my budget and was avaiable, as lefties are not the most common gun on the used market

 

did quite fancy the a400 though... if i win the lottery i might buy a second fowling gun

You've missed out the Remington Versa Max.

[strangford wildfowler]

Why isnt the new an old browning A5 up there them guns are brilliant?

You've missed out the Remington Versa Max.

 

Just what I was thinking , mines been great so far.

[remmyman]

If you want a 31/2 inch semi that will cycle ANY cartridge from sub-sonics up then get a Versa Max.

Had a sx3, had a maxus, had enough of autos so got a supernova which was brill so thought i would try a benelli auto and got an sbe 2 and fineally I have found an auto I will keep forever simply awesome gun !!!!

i love my SBE2 but have to admit im struggling a little with it.. im not the best shot in the world but have struggled while fowling, missed a goose last week i should not have missed so took it on the clays the following day and my score was way down, at least the clays have shown my problem and i know im shooting a touch high so just have to get used to it

 

i will also add tha tanyone considering one for fowling that on the black version the barell coating isnt the most resistant so mine will get a cote of cerakote at the end of the season

I would think that those voting for the Hatsan may be owners....who would swap for a Xtrema 2 in a heartbeat.

[fenboy]

I think it would be different if it was a which would you buy if money was no object post .

Clearly if someone would rather buy a hatstand over a xtrema 1 or 2 they are either, A) buying to a budget (which I perfectly understand) or B ) suffering from some kind of mental disorder

I read today in the news that one in four Hatsan owners are on medication for a mental disorder. This really brought home to me the horror of the situation. That means three out of four owners aren't receiving the medical treatment they need.

I didn't have enough places mate... Sorry!

A hatsan owner asked me to follow this recipe to make a cheap, but surprisingly tender, pigeon pie.
First, get some breadcrumbs and a rolling pin.

Then, take the breadcrumbs and rolling pin to the park….

I assume you have had no problems with it on clay cartridges... I have had a stoeger once and it put me off interim systems pretty much! I wish I could get a sbe2 as they are half he price of a A400... But I can't help thinking "inertia" :-(

[Cawdor118]

i used it on a small local club and only did 40 sporting clays and apart from my score was way down compared to my usual over/under it was fine

I had voted for the A400 since the versamax was not there , I could not bare to see the hatstand winning

[bostonmick]

Well this has amazed me I was not aware anyone other than Beretta made guns.
