Shotguns

[nmbighorn]

I have pump shotguns, but looking at buying a semiauto.

Narrowed it down to Bennelli and Browing A5

I have heard the Browning has some issues feeding and ejecting shells.

Anyone have either of these two and can offer suggestions, pros and cons?

Benneli hands down.

I’ve had the benelli sbe2 since 2010. Highly recommend a Benelli auto loader.

I’ve put mine through it all and it just keeps going. Boom, Boom, Boom

I have an old 20 ga. Browning Auto 5 handed down from my grandpa and it’s one of the most beautiful guns I’ve held. That said, it spends most its life in my safe so I can’t give you a solid review for hunting use.

I have a few other shotguns but none has killed more birds than my old 870. That thing is a bad dude.

Stoeger m3500 is a pretty good ons

If it helps, my grandfather's Remington 1100 12ga is nearly 100% reliable, even when it needs to be cleaned, like it does now.

What are you planning on doing with your new shotgun? You looking for a clays gun, a turkey gun? Walk all day behind pointing dogs?

Turkeys, game birds I have a Labrador but he only likes to hunt muledeer

Everyone has to start somewhere, Labs are a good start, someday you’ll work your way up to pointing breed, JK. Benelli SBE are fantastic guns if you plan on running hots loads, on occasion you can find one to run a lighter oz load but most will not. Look at the M2, a 3 inch shell has plenty of horse power to kill any turkey thats ever walked the earth.
