Suffolk shooter Posted February 9, 2007 Report Share Posted February 9, 2007 I have a Browning Gold Hunter Camo, 3.5" Magnum with 32" barrels. It has the duratouch synthetic stock and forend. I must admit 32" barrels are long on top of the 3.5" action, and If I bought it again I would look for a 30 " barrel, but even so I recommend one. I use mine for Wildfowling, and clays and have fired 56gram Steel BB for Geese through it with very little recoil. I have also put 24 gram 7's through it and have had no problems with cycling. It is easy to put together/breakdown, keep clean, it's Muilti choked and comes in ABS case. I looked at Escort, benelli and beretta, but it had to be the Browning for me.

Danger Mouse Posted February 9, 2007 Report Share Posted February 9, 2007 I just bought one from Hawkeye, an Auto that is, It is a Beretta 303, very nice gun.. also had a remmington 1100 on loan, nice but not as smooth as the 303.. The Extrema 2 looks like a cracking gun though, just out of my budget! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mungler Posted February 9, 2007 Report Share Posted February 9, 2007 AL391 (wooden stock and forend). Bought it second hand, dead easy to get on with and you can stick what loads you like through it. I would guess that the AL391 outsells the rest and gets voted no. 1 semi auto year on year. Play it safe and get yourself one - everyone can't be wrong and besides if you hate it you will be able to sell it on in a heart beat.

kiwi Posted February 10, 2007 Report Share Posted February 10, 2007 raptor 3 inch gas xtrema 3 1/2 inch gas sbe,2, 3 1/2 inch inerta operated must ad the beretta urika 391 3 inch gas and that benelli m 2. 3 inch inerta recoil operated all made by companys owned by beretta, all great guns, get the one that fits u the best, do u need the 3 1/2 inch shell, 3 inch is all most, if not all shooting needs, i have a 3 1/2 i never use the 3 1/2 shell i only ever shoot 3 inch cartages, gas operated guns genrally shoot softer that recoil operated guns regardles of how much geltec they put of the but , i like gas, but some shoot beneills, im shooting a 26 inch 20 gauge franchi raptor, but do like the 391, hevier gun by 1/2 lb than the raptor, it all depends what you are going to use it for, got my franchi for rough shoot phesants weight 6lb on the button , one thing about the franchi is they have a long recever for a 3 inch auto, so a 26 barrled gun is only about 1/2 , 3/4 of an inch shorter than say the same sort of auto by browning or beretta ,in a 28 barrle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
