    Brownings are for pheasants
    Them that don't know him won't like him, and them that do sometimes won't know how to take him

    He ain't wrong, he's just different, and his pride won't let him do things to make you think he's right

    I've been really pleased with my Remington v3. It's a $600 gun and hasn't let me down.

    I have a H and K benelli 1, a extreme 2 and now the newer A5. I wish I had the A5 years ago.

    I was on a new shotgun search a few years ago and narrowed it down to Browning A5, Beretta A400 and Bennelli SBE 3. I've been a Remington 1100 fan for many years but the new lineup of Rems didn't interest me at all. After a half dozen trips back and forth to the store, all 3 of the "B" guns had something I liked about them but the slim forearm of the Bennelli was leading the pack.
    The final deciding factor was the trigger on the Bennelli was much more crisp, almost rifle like compared to the Beretta or the Browning.
    To each his own but I'm pretty happy with SBE 3

    Bring it to the Poleyard sometime and hop in. I have been off a wee smidge lately, maybe

    I have seen two different new A5s go down. I have never had an issue with an SBE or SBEII with well over a truck load of rounds down the pipe though both in any condition -10 to 105 with or without mud and ice.

    Again guys thanks for all the responses. I ended up finding a good deal on an SBE2 and took the plunge. Even if it doesn't suit, which I'm sure it will, I can resale with very little loss.
