BEST HUNTING SEMI-AUTO SHOTGUN

Breachloader

Thinking of a changing my shotgun, as I usually do this time of year.

I shoot a double when with my shooting group and a repeater when out alone or with just the dog, so a go to gun for rough shooting Is what I'm after.
Recoil doesnt matter as I dont notice it with a light game gun as it is.
Cleaning irrelevant as I clean all my guns thoroughly and regularly.
Maybe ease of loading/unloading as I cross alot of ditches, fences when out shooting.

Thinking Beretta Extrema II or A400 unico. Opinions on these two?
Which barrel length swings the best on each?

Whats the best in your opinions?

Cheers.

Baikal MP-153.

Cheap.
Built like a tank.
Cycles everything without complaint or adjustment.
If it get's scratched, dinged, dented or develops a spot of rust... Meh, adds to the character, no need to curl up in a ball and cry or spend months in the shrinks office.

Can also be used to bash in loose fence stakes or as a paddle if you loose yours up any particular creek.

Berettas and brownings are the only ones i've used, have handled a few benellis and other cheaper makes and my favourite is beretta 391

Grizzly 45

Remington1100 or 1187.Pretty bullet proof guns that dont need much babying.
Browning as well,Very fond of the old Auto 5 model.Dirt ammo eater and built like a tank.

Beretta AL391 urika II
I can't beleive you didn't have it in the list.
It's a great all rounder will fire anything you feed it and they can be bought in several different arrangements depending on your budget.

Voted other as my choice wasnt on list.

Beretta 391 Urika. No-nonsense solid quality gun.

The fact that they are like hens teeth to find second hand is a testamnet to their quality.

I presume the Urika II the same also. The old 300 series Beretta semis aswell.
Built to last. No experience of new ones, Xplor, Unicos etc but apple doesnt fall too far from the tree.

Xplor.er

is use the beretta a400, love it

im also quite fond of the benelli guns, the montefeltro in particular, thinking of investing in one of these also

gas operated left hand ejection fabarm hzur,
as good as the beretta 391(only beretta dont cater for lefties or id have bought one)

I've added Beretta AL391 to the menu so no matter the variation if it is an Al391 vote for it.

I've also moved the votes for the Beretta that were marked as "OTHER" into Beretta. So the poll is updated and accurate.

A 400 XPLORER UNICO.. have had mossbergs brownings and lanber semi autos and nothing has come close in terms of handling to the unico mind you only used one for a couple of hours lastweek.. have a 30" one on order now should be sorted for nextweek that kickoff system is superb and worth every extra penny
