In your experience, is there any performance issues between a gas or inertia driven gun?

I have a turkey gun but I am looking for something more shoulder friendly for doves/clays/occassional duck hunt.

I dont want to spend 1K on a gun. So whats your thoughts on going with a Stoeger, Franchi or finding a used Extrema or an 1100.

Open to discussion and would like to hear opinions.

I've got a Browning Gold and I know a lot of people talk bad about them, but mine has never hiccupped at all. It will shoot the lightest dove load and the heaviest 3.5 inch load back-to-back with no problems and it is really really soft on the shoulder.

If you want to go soft on the shoulder and inexpensive, or relatively so, get on Gunbroker and find a nice twenty year old 3inch magnum Remington 1100.

Beretta - new or used. Best shotguns out there. Look at the unico xplor light model - dang sweet gun.

Cant go wrong with Beretta. I havent gotten reviews from this season on how the newer models i.e. A400 etc. performed, but my I love my A391.
Beretta also offers a "kick-off" system that is easier on the shoulder. You cant really tell its there until you shoot straight above you... the gun bounces of your shoulder like a pogo stick. Pricy but worth it.
