I haven"™t tried the Beretta Xtrema but it"™s my next shotgun... I have the Beretta model 301 semi-auto and have never had any problems with it... I"™ve hunted all types of birds from big Canadas to Sharp-Tailed Grouse and the gun has never failed me... The gun handles well under all weather conditions and it can get pretty cold and ugly up here... I have to admit I should keep it cleaner then I do but it has never been a problem... My brother has a newer Beretta Semi-auto (not the extrema) and also has had no problems with it either...I"™ve hunted years with my Beretta and would highly recommend it... Good luck in your purchase and I don"™t think you"™ll regret it.

So Alex tell what finish you"™re looking for ? The wetland camo or the black and if you"™re going with the black will it be the 28"� or the 30"� barrel? I personally like the wetland camo but I would inquire if the 30"� barrel is more beneficial .

One thing you may conceder if shooting steel shot is to get the forcing cone lengthen. I was told by a gun smith that this would help in recoil and would pattern better... I was also told that my stock would eventually crack under heavy recoil conditions...The steel doesn"™t give like lead when forced from the chamber to the barrel...Sounded good at the time so I had both, forcing cone lengthen and the full choke reworked to modified at the same time...This all happened because we have to shoot steel here...I haven"™t noticed much of a difference but any little bit will help.
