For me it’s either browning or benelli

I have two browning gold hunters that have served me well for the last 20+ years. That said the benelli has just a slightly better feel.

Just bought a Winchester Super X4 3.5". It was about half the price of a A400. Great shooting shotgun and handles very well.

Franchi Affinity 3. I have the model from a couple years ago and for the price its a hell of a gun. It fits me a little better than my benelli montefeltro as well.

the affiny 3 is an awesome gun. Just bought one a few weeks ago. I got the waterfowl elite series with cerakote, aftermarket chokes, larger bolt handle and release.

the gun is super light, shoulders well and performs great for the money. I have a gun that shoots 3.5" already so I went with the 3. I will put it to the test in Oklahoma in January.

Currently duck hunt with a 12 gauge Benelli M2, really want a 20 gauge to go with it.

The signature shotgun of the OB is the Beretta A300 Outlander.

It's awesome. I have had a SX3 for a few years & decided to pass it down to my son & upgrade to the SX4. I got it on sale for $799 w/ free shipping.

My father just gave me a 40 year old wingmaster 20g with maybe a box of shells put through it.

I've already taken it to the lease to shoot. Man it's nice.

I went from a Mag Twelve Stalker to an A400 Extreme Plus this year and love it so far. I really loved my Stalker but it was heavy as hell and a complete bitch to break down and clean. I haven't found a single con to the A400 Plus yet other than the huge cocking handle. I will replace it with a normal size one as soon as I find out if they will interchange. I will say its by far the softest shooting shotgun I've ever shot and nothing else is remotely close to it

I hunt with a benelli ultralight and dont mind when the dog shakes on it. I drag that thing all over the swamp for deer, ducks and rabbits

Buy what you like and use the piss out of it. If I had to get a gun to replace it, itd be an ethos.

I'm currently using a Winchester SX4. Paid $750 for it two years ago. Really good gun. I think the next one I buy will be the Beretta Outlander (a300).

People spending $1800 on shotguns are the same ones who rock a $400 Sitka jacket, $300 Yeti cooler that can't hold more than a six pack, Drake logos on their back glass, etc.

Shoot a Beretta A400 at ducks geese in the fields, but picked up an M2 this summer and it’s sweet. Gonna start shooting it in the timber. Actually, got one for my wife and I liked it so much I had to get one for me too. Really can’t go wrong with most of these guns...expensive/inexpensive, just go check them out and see what feels the best.

Weatherby Element. Looks exactly like a SBE II and you can get them at grabagun.com for about $540 in camo. I’ve had one for 2 years and it’s every bit as good as my SBEII

I have a kuiu jacket, a pelican ice chest that can hold a case (have to get overweight permit to haul it) and a benelli logo on my back glass.

Get your pretentious arse outta here

I got my SBE for 1100$ used but like brand new. It’s almost 15yrs old thousands of shells and never failed. My yeti is about the same age same hinges and thousands of six packs have been chilled.
I have seen guys with 2500$ berattas shoot lights out and I have seen coonasses with missing fingers wearing shrimp boots shooting an 870 not hit a pooldeau on the water.
I don’t have a any stickers on my truck...

Kind of want a 28 for teal season and for my kids, but realistically a m2 in 20. My current and only 20 is a old 1100 LT thats too nice to put into regular rotation and it only shooting 2 3/4s limits it. Less and less 2 3/4 steel loads for the 20 are being made.
