Hey all, newbie here looking for some shot gun advice:
I'm 23, just finished my second season of waterfowl hunting in MA. I've been using a Mossberg 535 pump gun. It's never failed me in the field but at this point I'm ready to step up to a nice semi auto.
My requirements are: 28 inch barrel, able to cycle 2 3/4 through 3 1/2 mags, and be able to withstand field duties. Price should be 1500 bucks or less. I know, thats a lot of cake, but this is the last shotgun I will buy for a very long time and it needs to be tough and versatile.
I'm looking at Benelli Super Black Eagle 2s and Beretta Xtrema 2s. Does anyone have any experience with these guns? Or experience with a replacement? I've fired the Beretta and loved it. I've only heard great things about Benelli but have never used one.
thanks!
Adam
