Because I'm left handed, I'll say Benelli.

I have a Vinci (not a super) and an A400. They both shoot great and are fine firearms. The Vinci is a breeze to clean and maintain.

Just got a Browning new A5 with 3.5" chamber. Highly recommend. Had Benelli, no comparison! A5 has less kick and doesn't jam.

I've got an old Belgian A5 Sweet Sixteen. That bastard kicks harder than my 870.

Learn how to adjust the rings


I third the A5. I love my 3-1/2" A5. Even if it does seem to be getting left in the bag a lot more so I can just keeping plugging away with the old Belgium Mag Twelve. I sure wish they could have made the new ones swing like the old ones did

I just figured it was because the whole barrel came back and cycled the bolt.

Nope. The A-5's can be one of the softest shooting auto's out there when set up right,especially the Magnum ones. Look up how to adjust them. Thank me the next time you take that Sweet Sixteen to the dove field.

I have a Beretta A400 extreme and I love it, I have shot 3.5s in it too.

Beretta is a fine gun as well.

Honestly whatever feels best to you between a A5, a400 and super Vinci is what you should get. All 3 are badass shotguns

Yep. Only difference is the SBE never leaves the safe since I took the A5 on its first dove hunt. I'm not knocking the Nelli in any way. They're as fine a new shotgun as any out there. But it doesn't fit or handle as well as the A5 to me personally. Plus every single person I know of thats shot the same loads out of each gun has said the A5 recoils less. Why that is I have no clue considering the internals are basically the same. I will not sell the Benelli but it sure doesn't get used anymore

I have the Beretta. Love it. Shot plenty of 3.5s in the past 2 seasons. It's a great gun.

The A400 is silly easy to clean. Owned an Xtrema2 for 7 seasons then went to A400, love them both, with plenty of 3.5's through them.

Don't get the safety position issue but have heard of plenty complaining on that. Birds working in, trigger finger on safety, birds really close, safety pushed, and finger to trigger, pow pow dead ducks. Not difficult folks

Beretta all day - shoot a box of light or mid weight rounds through at first- will last a lifetime

Love mine
