What Would the OB Choose?

Posted on 3/8/18 at 9:46 am
There have been several threads recently asking for opinions on preferred Shotgun, rifle caliber, home defense pistol, first time buyer's pistol, etc. but I had an interesting dilemma recently that I think may be a good discussion for the OB.
I attended the Ducks Unlimited Fundraiser last Friday at Cabelas in Gonzales. For those of you who don't know it was set up as a 50 gun giveaway, but there were tons of other raffles. One of which was a $20 ticket for a limited entry raffle--once they hit 60 entries they drew a winner, then started over. If you won, you were able to select ANY GUN or PACKAGE from either of the two banners shown below. I thought this was the best odds in the house, so I entered and won!
I have been in the market for a new shotgun and have been following the posts here about Beretta, Benelli, etc. that have had some great information. In the end, I settled on the Benelli Super Black Eagle II Classic! While I am confident in my choice bc I know it is an excellent gun and it fills my exact need, there was always the potential of buyer's remorse when my buddies found out what I picked...
The question to the OB is: Which would you pick, and why?

I personally would have picked the Beretta A350 or the Browning Maxus

Congrats! That's awesome. The SBEII is a great choice and won't disappoint. Its the best shotgun on the banner IMO.

In your situation, I would agree that you made the right play and got a shotgun to fill your needs. I own a SBE II Classic and would say that you did good by getting a gun on the upper end value-wise from your choices.
Since I already have a gun for everything I "need" one for, I would have gone for the Big Boy in .357 mag because I've always wanted one.

Damn what a mind frick.
SBE2. Final answer.
Because I know what it can do, and real dollar value wise I'm not seeing anything else that would be much more.

I joked to my buddy when I bought the ticket that if I do win I'm liable to have a heart-attack trying to decide!

Me and two buddies went also. We bought a 7 pack of tickets.
I heard my name called as one of the winners in the 50 gun drawing.
I didn't even find out what I had won until after I filled out the background check. It turned out to be a Wise Arms AR-15.

I'd probably take the super black eagle.... or maybe that stoeger over and under.

Congrats!
It was a fun event, but there was so much going on that it definitely took a while to understand all of the side raffles, the women walking around with the colored balloons, etc.

Definitely the SBE II if you are wanting a new duck gun.
Posted on 3/8/18 at 1:38 pm to SeasonOfSam
What kind of wood pellet grill is on there baw?
Posted on 3/8/18 at 2:18 pm to SeasonOfSam
I'd take the Super Redhawk .44 mag
Posted on 3/8/18 at 2:21 pm to SeasonOfSam
I'd have been the old man torn between the Dewalt and Husqvarna packages.

Thank you
I was definitely NOT expecting that large of a crowd.
Now that I know, I would definitely do it again.
I heard some guy bought $1000 worth of tickets... And won the $1000 raffle...and at least 4 guns!

After the third gun they made an announcement to that effect. Then later he also won the $1,000 gift card. I can't imagine

I’m going either:
Ruger Super Rehawk
I really want this gun anyway. Would like to get a deer with a revolver.
Or
Sitka duck clothes
I’m just trying to get into duck hunting and this would really help because I wouldn’t have to buy clothes and they are nicer than I would buy anyway.
I have shotguns, rifles,... I would rather use the opportunity to get some stuff I need want rather than just want.

I would have gone with the SBE as well.
