I didn’t realize they were all that similar in price and it makes the montefeltro and even better pick than I thought originally.

I had bought my son a stoegger years ago and it was a piece of crap. The matte finish was impossible to keep corrosion off of.

SX3 or Outlander....buy the one that feels best between the two.

I bought the SX4 recently over the Outlander...but I'll be getting the Outlander as well.

I have the Stoeger m3000. Had an extractor pin issue out of the box, but they fixed it and not a single issue since. I actually shoot it well compared to any other shotgun I've ever shot. It just fits me well. I will admit I am a novice shooter when it comes to shotguns.

Due to the extractor pin issue, I think the A300 might have a little higher quality control, but at $399, it's hard to beat that Stoeger. And it's not like 2k guns don't have little manufacturing issues here and there themselves.

I'd look at a Franchi Affinity as well.

But of those, the Benelli.
Then probably the A300.

One's inertia and one's gas.

All good guns. The better fitting gun is the gun you will be most accurate with. If you have to adjust your head or hands or reach for the trigger ect you won't be happy. The best fit is the gun for you. You won't remember to adjust at the moment of truth.

Got to shoulder my buddy's Remington versa max and it felt/fit better than the sx3 I'm borrowing so it takes the lead. Will head back to academy and try the benelli and beretta again and make a decision.

Basspro has the synthetic Montefeltro at $699. May have to track it down in store because not available online.
Monte

ETA I checked availability in several states. Nuttin.

The sx3 and a300 feel the best in my hands.

same...I've had the SX3 for several years now and it is a sweet shooting gun...tough as well and easy to clean...
shot cases of dirty shells and didn't clean it till season end and never had an issue...
