Hey guys, I just bought my first ever shotgun last Thursday. I was choosing between the following shotguns...

• Benelli Super Black Eagle II
• Beretta Xtrema2
• Browning Maxus/Gold
• Winchester SX3

So, i went to our local gun shop and asked to see the following firearms. I looked at, held aimed and swung with all 4 firearms, all 4 with pros and cons. I wont go into details on each one, but the plastic on the benelli to me felt and seemed somewhat cheap and really shiny. The Beretta didn't pull up, aim or swing quite right for me, the browning didn't come in a camo pattern and the Winchester i didnt really care for at all.

So i was down to Benelli SBE II, Beretta Xtrema2 and Browning Maxus. Went through the paces on those 3 again, and came to my conclusion.

Heres pics of what i decided on....





























Some Features of the Browning Maxus are found here (light reading)

good choice, if your gonna buy a real shot gun browning is the only way to go

 

well, i was initially ready o buy the benelli or beretta but the browning just.....it pulled up and swung the best for me!

 

nice shotgun i own a remington1100 semi auto 12g love it

 

cool and thanks

 

nice shotgun zach. That Benelli is kinda pricey huh?

 

yeah but this one wasnt much less

 

you can always have that gun dipped in whatever camo pattern you want. There is a shop at home that does shotguns in Mossy Oak for $185 .. at least thats what their website says.

 

i gots a browning 20g pump and aint had a problem with it.

 

well, i shot just short of 50 rounds through it tonight to begin breaking it in.....shot flawlessly, ejected all shells flawlessly and was basically perfect. Recoil pad was amazing, had nearly ZERO kick/lift!!!
