    I picked up an A400 in mid January. Shot it for around 8 hunts, no issues yet. I think I paid $1399, in old school bottomland, and it came with a free beretta jacket I need to sell since I don't use it.

    Seemed like a good deal to me.

    Silly question, but how often while in a hunting situation is it important to you to be able to rack off three shots as fast as humanly possible? I mean we're probably talking fractions of a second difference between guns here. Flock shooting comes to mind, but if you're unloading your gun as fast as you can at a flock I've found more times than not that you don't end up hitting anything.

    Extrema 2 is what works for me. I have 2 for that reason.

    Once you go benelli...... you turn into Caitlyn Jenner. That's what fucked Bruce up. Ole boy starting shooting a benelli then next thing you know he was wearing high heels.

    I really like an M1 as a waterfowl gun . My next will be an A400 or Beretta Onyx .

    I don't duck hunt I skeet hunt, and trust me fractions of seconds count in that game.

    And Mergie already warned me whom was the best at that game, but I can still try!

    This. Sx3 will cycle light loads with reliability and kick less with heavy loads than a benelli

    I duck hunt with an 1187 special purpose waterfowl. I love it, my only complaint is that it won't cycle dove loads reliably.

    What the fuck is wrong with you? The shit that comes out of your mouth is mind blowing.

    Scrap...i bet you have a mojo barrel sticker on your benelli don't you.....probably drive a tahoe and have a boykin and a yeti. Do it up! I can't WAIT for this duck hunting fad to wear off to get all the idiots off the water. I don't see it lasting g much longer. Public duck hunting is really expensive and a pain in the ass. Eventually people will be on to a new fad and things will get back to normal.

    The Remington's ain't what they used to be. I love my old 1100's and had an 1187 recently that fell apart the first time I took it in the field. Sold it and bought an A400 and its been a great gun so far.
