Been running the A 400 extreme for years now. It won’t stop. Use it as a canoe paddle some days. Hardly ever clean it and it never lets me down

[@jeffreyhall838]

The latest a greatest M2's are superb! I have a 12ga 24" for Spring turkey hunting and a 20ga 24" for everything else

[@drewbaglin1632]

I’ve got a A300 Ultima in 12 ga and so far so good. It’s used as a general purpose for duck dove and skeet.

Love my CZ 10/12

Its a sad day in American when a wood stock pump gun doesn't make that list but facts are facts and the man knows what he sells and what he doesn't.

[@ivanmeza5287]

Never a sad day, I'm a 25 year old that loves and shoots a wood stock pump. There is still some young people that love it!

[@mattthomas3207]

i have the original beretta etrema and all of us in our blind have berettas. will never go away from them so simple accurate and tough

[@bobbycrenshaw5167]

Too bad Morehouse Parish ain’t the duck killer it once was, but still LOVE stopping at Simmons. Jeff does a great job, even hunters from Dallas drive to Bastrop when he has his annual sale in the fall.👍

[@jimjordan7647]

Bought a M2 20 ga last weekend. I put 3 boxes through it in the dove field and it ran flawless. Best autoloader I have put my hands on.

[@johnthazelett8833]

The only way you really find out how well your gun works is when it gets a little dirty/ and or cold Temps. They generally all work flawlessly when they're clean and it's above 40 degrees

[@mspeed1991]

Here’s a tip: Get a Stoeger m3500. Buy a Benelli M2 extractor and extractor spring and install it in the stoeger. Congratulations, you’ve got a $730 shotgun that will perform the same as a $2-2100 Benelli

[@AllSeasonsOutdoorsmen]

I’ve got a stock M3000 with well over 1500 shells threw it and never had a failure paid $549 for it 3 seasons ago

stoeger m3500 vs franci affinity ?

Remington 870 wingmaster 🤙🏼

[@paulk6077]

Does the winchester have adjustment shems. I tried one and it felt like a youth model ?

[@10glocks40]

Not that go between the stock and the receiver. It does come with spacers that go between the stock and recoil pad to increase length of pull. The SX4 is a fantastic gun. I own three, and own three Browning Maxus IIs. The SX4 is 90% of the gun the Maxus II is. The SX4 has the same type of gas system as the Maxus II, but without the magazine cut off and the speed load feature. The SX4 is a no-frills, highly reliable, and extremely fast cycling gun. I have a 12 gauge, 3 1/2 inch, "Universal Hunter" that I use for deer using buckshot, and fall turkeys. And I have a 12 gauge and a 20 gauge "Waterfowl" version in Mossy Oak Bottomland I use for spring turkey. Great guns. The best Super Xs yet.

[@cooperbrasher3258]

All 28 inch barrels?

[@seanwhite611]

What about stoeger for the price

[@giovannimartinez2145]

The A400 xtreme plus is hands down the softest shooting gun I’ve ever shot there isn’t really a comparison to the A5 or SBE3

[@paulk6077]

Is the POA and POI off like the Benellis ? I am tired of having to float the birds with my sbe2 . Looking for a straight shooter ?

[@giovannimartinez2145]

@@paulk6077 I’m not sure but I know my A400 is laser straight

[@Intermtn9736]

This. I have the a400 lite (6.5lbs, discontinued) and it is butter soft recoil with full house 1 3/8oz loads. Imagine the extreme you hardly even feel it

[@FrankSmith-zt8sl]

I bought an A400 last year to replace an aging SBE. Going into late goose season, I shot 3.5 all day long with that gun and was smooth as butter. I have tested as many guns as I can think of and the recoil on A400 is almost not existent compared to others

I want a 940 Pro Field Walnut

As Phil Robertson said, "The best gun is one that goes boom, boom, boom"!

[@johnthazelett8833]

The browning maxus 2 much better gun than the A-5. I know a few of people that had cycling problems with the A-5

[@thecajunangler8589]

I’ve had my A5 since 2013 never had a problem… that being said when I held their Maxus it felt like the best shotgun I’ve ever held

[@devindiamond1728]

Bought an M2 20 gauge in February and probably wont shoot another gun again.

[@jaydenbankes8126]

Three B’s beretta,browning then benelli in that order best to less

Any Turkey guns?

[@vincebelmonte7710]

Check out new beretta a300 turkey 2 different camo colours 20ga or 12 ga we haven't received them yet in Canada.

[@10glocks40]

The Winchest SX4 "Universal Hunter" can be had with a 24" or 26" barrel. The receiver is drilled and tapped, as well. I have a 24" verson in Mossy Oak Break Up Country with a Trijicon RMR on it. I use it for turkeys and deer.

[@NARUTOfan12700]

[@jaredwhite489]

Winchester sx4. The rest is garbage

[@10glocks40]

The SX4 is a sleeper, that's for sure. The best of the Super X series of guns, IMO. It's a great, no frills, reliable and ultra-fast gun made by Browning in their Viana, Portugal factory. The same factory where they make the Maxus II, A5, and Silver. The Winchester SX4 and the Browning Silver are virtually the same gun.

[@shawnofthedead6362]

And the 3 and 2 and x love my Winchester shotguns and rifles just hooked on them my daddy shot Winchester all his life I just can’t break away from Winchester nothing else feels right in my hands
