To me the recoil and inertia guns are way snappier on the recoil. It's not terrible but just different. The gas guns seem like they have a more gradual push to me. I have a SBE 2 and love it, but there is a difference between it and a the Beretta 390's recoil.

For the value a Beretta A300 is hard to beat.

I almost bought another one a couple weeks ago. They had them for $549 at Dunn's. I told my buddy and he met me there but left with a 3.5 SX4 for $699 instead.

I don't blame him.

Benelli SBE3 in bottomland. M2 is a great option too.

I love the new a5 but it doesn’t fit me at all. I would go and shoulder a bunch and see which one fits you naturally. Gas or inertia doesn’t matter if you can’t shoot it. Also with today’s loads now days I’d seriously consider a 20. If you can shoot well it’s all you need and more pleasurable after a long day from a weight and recoil standpoint. My boys both shoot 20s and kill csnvasbacks at 30-40 yards and have killed several geese. In my opinion those are about the 2 hardest critters to knock down with a shotgun and the 20 wil do it all day with proper shooting.

I agree 100% I also shoot a 20 for most anything. I will say having to buy bismuth to get that performance kinda takes the fun out a little. Buying 45$+ per box while seeing the 12 gauge for 25-35$ range.

There is an H&K SBE 1 in the classifieds. Probably the most proven duck gun besides the 870. Back in the day, that and the Beretta AL390 were the only non-jamming guns in my duck camp. Shooting cases of steel shot every year took the 870 out of the equation.

The SBE's fit me really well. I am shooting a Retay currently as it fits me too. I can also shoot my son's Beretta 300 well.

If you like the SBE, I would at least pick up those shotguns.

For new semi autos: I've never been able to hit with a Browning as they just don't fit me, wish they did as they are great guns. I've shot thousands of rounds thru Benellis at doves and not a big fan of them, not sure why, just don't like them. I like the Beretta's for new guns. They fit me well, although if you are switching between semi autos, the loading/unloading of the Beretta is odd...

TDog find an older M2 20. It's a lot better gun than the current versions of the m2 and sbe3 in 20. Those original M2 20's are as solid as it gets. It's my go to for every thing I hunt that has feathers. I never carry a 12ga anymore

I had a older m2 12ga loved it.
I now have a 12&20 in the new m2 and love them. I like New model better.
