I'm trying to decide between a SBE II and a Winchester X3. I clean my guns a lot, so I'm not sure what the SBE will give me over the X3, but I've heard the recoil is less on the X3. We'll see.
Was hunting in cold weather(below freezing)this year with 2 guys thathad Benellis. Both of them had theyre guns freeze on them making theyre guns useless until they field stripped them and held them over a heater for about 10 minutes. My personal belief is the Benellis are great guns,, but they are built to a much too tight a tolerance.
BROWNING GOLD
i have one and i love it... the smoothest, lightest recoiling auto ive ever shot. no problems whatsoever in the cold. no problems period. also, its a real light auto compared to others

just got a beretta extrema 2 at the beginning of the season. SUPER gun. its so nice, but just remember when picking out a gun, you pay for what you get. so dont expect a good cheap gun, its not gonna happen. spend some money, and you'll see, its totally worth everything in the end.
