More Shotgun Help Please

Okay, I've narrowed it down to a list of possible candidates. Any insight is greatly appreciated.
1. Benelli Montefeltro, 28", 12 ga: my only issue is they only have two left and both are display guns. I hate paying sticker for display. And they are on 45 day backorder.
2. Winchester SX3, 26", 12 ga, Walnut Stock: This one can be ordered and takes a week or so.
3. Browning Silver Hunter, 12 ga: This one can be ordered.
I REALLY like the Benelli, but it has been on display for months. Would you buy a display gun?
Thanks for your help, gentlemen.

I would get the Beretta, we have already talked about this and the overwhelming majority said Beretta.

Oh yeah, well I would get the Versa Max.

Yeah, the A300 is still in the game. But, now the competition is different.

Just noticed the Beretta is not in the running. I have nothing more to add

They just got a VersaMax Sportsman in today in Camo, but my brother has a VersaMax. I could always borrow his.

But don't you have an SX3?

Yes, it was won at a NWTF banquet and came with a sling and turkey choke. I use it to turkey hunt so I wouldn't have to spend $ on a choke for my good shotguns. 
It is the only 3.5" gun I own as well.
I started turkey hunting when 2 things happened in the same year
1. I won that gun
2. I acquired some land that is loaded with turkey
I now love to turkey hunt almost as much as duck hunting.

Would it be worth the grand I pay for it?
Posted on 2/20/14 at 2:51 pm to SabiDojo
No, I don't sell guns. Not being rude but I sold a few when I was young and should have had my arse beat. I don't sell guns nor do I rent pigs.

I'm not trying to buy your gun. I'm asking is it worth it.
Posted on 2/20/14 at 2:55 pm to SabiDojo
I bought my son the browning maxus and I love it and he does as well. Have you looked at them? I like it more than my Beretta and more than the Bennelli M2 I bought the other son. I let them both research what they wanted and then we went and handled them each prior to purchase. The browning points really natural and has a great feel.

The Montefeltro felt amazing in my hands. I just don't like buying display guns.
Posted on 2/20/14 at 2:57 pm to spacewrangler
The Maxus might be a little out of my price range.
Posted on 2/20/14 at 2:57 pm to SabiDojo
It seems like you are looking for an all round gun. I can't answer that question because I have never had mud in the SX# nor have I shot it very many times. I shoot it 2 to 5 times a year at turkeys and maybe 1 or 2 at targets.
The gun is flawless for what I have done with it. I love the gun but I haven't abused it in duck hunting situations nor have I shot it enough to form an opinion.
My Beretta cycles close to 4 cases a year

Id go with the benelli. I love my benelli but it's a sbe2. I don't see what's wrong with buying a display gun, it's not like it's been shot before. The bolts been pulled back a few times and it's got some fingerprints on it, that's not going to take away life from a benelli.

One of these is not like the others.
Of those three it isn't even a ball game. Seriously.
Being a display, there should be a little wiggle room. If not just give it a good once over and make sure there are any nicks or dings on it. If not you'll be good to go.

I have the SX3 in camo, 28". Had an SX2 before. This was my first season duck hunting with the SX3. I did not have a single hang up, but only shot 4 or 5 boxes at the most. I love the way it fits me.
