Shotgun Ideas Anyone?
I currently use a Benelli Super Black Eagle 2. I completely love it. However, I was just wondering if anyone has a comparable shotgun that they absolutely love. I want another shotgun as good or better than what I already have. My wife needs her own so that we can get back into bird hunting.
The Benelli SBE 2 has 3.5" capabilities but I don't need that since I never usually go any bigger than 3"-ers.
Oh, and the only catch is that I don't want to spend $1400 bucks on a new one like I did 5 years ago when I bought my SBE 2.Customizable Adult & Kids shirts, onesies, and More

I would buy the beretta extrema 2. This has been the best shotgun that I have ever shot or owned. I think that you could get one used for less than $1400.00 A more budget friendly option might be a stoeger or franchi which are owned by Beretta as is benneli. They will shoot up to 3" shells and they are great semi autos if that is what you want.

Hey thanks guys, My wife wants to make it easy on herself and stick with another semi-auto for sure. I will have to look into those. My dad has quite the gun collection and all of his shotguns are pump action and double barrels except for his Benelli Vinci, which I don't like. So, I will definitely have to give your suggestions a try.
Actually, I would sell it but I want way too much money for it And, not to mention that at one point I had magazine extension on it so that I could attempt Tom Napps 10 shot hand thrown pigeon trick (even though apparently his was custom made for 10 and I didn't know that so mine will only hold 8+1 instead of 9+1 ) But, the barrel ended up with some scratches from the extension so its got a slight devalue on it . Oh, and... its kinda a member of the family now ha ha haCustomizable Adult & Kids shirts, onesies, and More

I just pulled this from Barettas website on the Extrema 2:
"Beretta’s new Kick-Off hydraulic dampening reduction system reduces recoil an astounding 44% more than its closest rival by using two hydraulic recoil dampers incorporated into the stock “spacer” unit. The recoil energy is gradually dissipated by the hydraulic dampers, resulting in superior comfort for the shooter."
Have you heard if the recoil is less than the SBE 2? I wasn't sure who would be their closest rival :) My wife is definitely a great shooter and doesn't complain about recoil... But, she does bruise easily.Customizable Adult & Kids shirts, onesies, and More

I bought my extrema 2 with the kickoff system back in 2006 specifically because it was listed as having the most recoil reduction technolgies than any other gun. I have shot the super black eagle and it doesn't even come close to how great the recoil reduction is in my extrema 2. I use it mostly for turkey hunting and I shoot the hottest 3-1/2 loads that I can buy. I have never had a bruise from this shotgun ever. I have fired 3 shots in a row with 3-1/2 goose loads with no issues. I have done several shots one handed as well. I paid close to 1700.00 for it with absolutely no regrets. The gun is bomb proof. I could tell you stories about how I have abused this shotgun and it works flawlessly.
Check out the youtube video from 5 years ago called extrema 2 shotgun demo, about 3 minutes long.

Wow, That is a nice demo. 12 shots in 1.73 seconds.
Now, its all about convincing my wife to buy it, Unless I just buy it and worry about it laterCustomizable Adult & Kids shirts, onesies, and More

Saw it at Shot Show and I am sure many would love to have a 15 round Kel-Tec KSG when released late 2011

I have been waiting for my kel-tec pmr30 since December of last year. I am beginning to become leary of kel-tec. I think that they introduce something new just to get a response to see if there is a market for it.

Earlier this year, I hit a clearance sale at Dick's Sporting Goods and picked up a Remington 11-87 super mag for 500.00. I'll be taking it out for it's rookie trip on Thursday the dove opener. I'm excited I love dove meat!
