SBEII, Super Vinci, A400 extreme, A5, versamax, anything else I left off.

This is completely subjective. They're all good guns.

Really no answer to this question. All of those guns are fantastic and will preform flawlessly almost every time. It really comes down to personal preference and how it feels in your hands.

That being said, I shoot a SBEII and will probably never shoot anything else. I've had it for 10 years now and it has been incredible. I recommend it to anyone who is looking to buy a top-notch shotgun.

Doesn't matter, you started with the best and answered your question.

I like my A400 but if I buy another, it will a SBEII. Several people have had issues with the Beretta and their customer service following.

Clyde Tipton up the middle for a gain of 2.

Im on the Beretta train, new A5 is pretty slick though.

I shoot an Xtrema 2 and have for 10 years. Its never jammed and it fits me well. The SBE2 doesn't fit me as well. I know a lot of people with the SBE2 and it fits them better than the Xtrema or A400. It's all about fit. Also the SX3 is one that flies under the radar but is a great gun from what I hear.

i'll shoot a browning gold hunter for fancy freshwater hunts and my supervinci for nasty stuff in the marsh.

Whatever you're comfortable shooting. My dad can knock down anything with his 1100 but anything else and he's extremely average.

Agreed. Simmons had them for $1400.

I have an SX3. Love it. They have a $75 rebate right now too.

It's my second shotgun, thank you very much

I remember when I thought spending $1700 on a shotgun would make me a better duck hunter

Would not trade my SX3. Every time I hunt with someone using a Beretta they have some sort of issue. The Guy I hunt with now has a beretta and about every 5th shot or so the firing pin doesnt strike the shell hard enough.

My vote for the A5. I like it better than my brothers maxus and my dads SBE

He just keeps coming back hunting with the same problem? He should look into getting that fixed.

I jumped on the Beretta bandwagon after seeing an Argentina dove outfitter that used nothing but 390's that would cycle 1,000's of rounds a year with no issues.

That and my SBEI was a fricking lemon.
