    i will be buying a new S/A after Xmas and i have my choices down to two
    1. Browning Maxus hunter.... €1330
    2. Beretta A400 xplor unico with kick-off.... €1750

    both seem great S/A's to me and price really at the moment is the only thing that is swaying me at the minute.
    wanted the Beretta for a long while but after seeing the maxus im stumped at the minute.

    any opinions welcome

    Got Browning Maxus Super Magnum Synthetic reacently.The most modern shotgun I've seen so far:speed loading, unloading, quick release forearm, very handy to pull out the limiter(if needed), handy safety switch, very light, recoil is unbelievably light (fiend has Extrema kick off, same difference I thought), comes with the whole lot of spacers and adjusters (l/h to r/h, up/down), triger lock,5 chokes+ 2 inch 3/4 choke, different colours sight, and it doesn't brake the bank. Cycles anything from28g to the heviest 3.5inch loads.
    Wery happy with it so far.Haven't said that 400 Unico is some gun!
    By the way 1300 for hunter is real good price in my opinion.

    i have the Beretta a400 for nearly a year now and love it. absolutely no recoil with kick off. It is ultra reliable. you wont go wrong with one, saying that, I recently bought the Benelli vinci and love it too. When i open the cabinet I find myself reaching for the Benelli first. Im beginning to thing the benelli is a far superior gun

    you should sell the A400 so, there is no need for two when you love the benelli more. :D:p

    save some money and go for a new Beretta 391 urika. 26 inch barrells are great for the country harder to get and can be harder to ship on. Some men feel an extra 2 inches is so important in any gun
