Condor Posted August 3, 2009 Report Share Posted August 3, 2009 Beretta all the way for me My beloved AL390 Lioness is a great gun and beautiful as well!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smogs Posted August 4, 2009 Report Share Posted August 4, 2009 After some initial teething problems with my Camo SX3 (I was using the wrong cart`s), can`t fault it If you want a mid range gun on a budget (mine cost me £815 brand new with the Winchester warranty) can`t beat it for the money. Looks the biz! Pal says the Beretta Ulrika is tops, it probably is, but it costs a bit more..................end of day, you pays ya money, you get what ya pay for Hope this helps.......

Trent Posted August 4, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 4, 2009 Sweet, thanks for all the information guys. stuck an extra full extended choke in it and was absolutely smashing the pigeons out of the sky with it last week!!!Nice. Is there a benefit to extended chokes over the internal ones, or is it just preference? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LostWomble Posted August 4, 2009 Report Share Posted August 4, 2009 Hi I had a Remington 1100 and a 11-87 Special Purpose which were both Section 1. They were brilliant when they were running right and fancy single shot shotguns when they weren't. I have just sold them both and bought a Beretta Xtrema2 which I am having made Section 1 and I will be picking up on Saturday . I had a play with it before the work was done and although he kicked a little more that the heavy Remys was a real dream to handle. I'm all excited like a kid at Christmas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leeboy Posted August 7, 2009 Report Share Posted August 7, 2009 BENELLI MONTEFELTRO GREAT SEMI AUTO FIRES ALL CARTRIDGES I HAVE PUT IN IT 24G AND 28G 65MM CARTS NO PROBLEM I got to go with Basset on that. ive only ever owned one semi auto and thats my Benelli Montefeltro. ive not had a single problem with it and not a single jam. its been totally reliable and just takes a minute to strip and clean. its a lovely gun to shoot too. i keep hearing people say that Benelli's have hard recoil but i really dont know where that comes from. mine is a pleasure to shoot and doesn't recoil any harder than any other semi auto or O/U i have shot in the past. i think felt recoil comes down to gun fit. i would recommend Benelli to anyone, ive not got a bad word to say about them. i will say tho i have not tried carts lighter than 30g.

mayfly36 Posted August 7, 2009 Report Share Posted August 7, 2009 (edited) I'm biased as well. IT HAS TO BE BENELLI All cartridges, steel shot, no kick, etc the list goes on. Edited August 8, 2009 by mayfly36 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wiggy1234567 Posted August 7, 2009 Report Share Posted August 7, 2009 I think my winchester sx3 flanigun is a great gun. Ultra lightweight, fires all different loads as it comes with two pistons, one for light loads and one for heavy loads. Supposed to be the fastest shooting shotgun see youtube. Colour is a bit like Marmite! i think it looks good for a semi as they have bit of an old man image. I love quality, that's why I could never get an Escort. Too many have problems. I WAS Beretta all the way, with both me and the wife starting with 303's and 391's ... in fact we still own a 391 each and they really are fantastic guns. We put 28g shot through them al day without cleaning them and without any problems. However I now am the VERY proud owner of a SX-3 Flanigun .... in full-fat 12-shot version .... and my god .. .what a gun. It is SO good I would love to get another standard 3-shot one for those clay grounds that look at you funny when you pull out a gun with a stupidly big mag tube on it .... if only I could afford it! As with Marmite ...... I love the SX-3 Flanigun. However as my dear old Aunt used to say "it takes all sorts to make a world!" so what ever you get enjoy it. Just don't rush into it and get one YOU want and are happy with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evil Elvis Posted August 7, 2009 Report Share Posted August 7, 2009 Nice. Is there a benefit to extended chokes over the internal ones, or is it just preference? I like a tight choke when pigeon shooting, gives me confidence on longer and higher shots....poo up close though lol.....you either smash em or miss em, no inbetween!!

v-max Posted August 8, 2009 Report Share Posted August 8, 2009 I will have to go with all the beretta fans out there i have a urika mk2 kick-off. Iv put 200+ cartridges through it & not had a jam yet from 65mm to 76mm carts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pest control Posted August 8, 2009 Report Share Posted August 8, 2009 For low recoil i can recomend the sx3. The benelli m2 has much more recoil. I know I have both... although if someone fancys the sx3 ...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
