if u are looking for somthing as good as a benili but dont want to pay the price. go with a stoger m2000. i bought one last year and i bring it every where.i bought one for my wife this year andshe loves it also. some people like em andsome dont. but thats with every gun. the m2000 has that same sweet action the benili has but the gun only cost $400. i have neverhad any problems with it and i have broughtit through swamps, rain, snow, youname it.they are getting extremely popular so popular infactbenili is having a hell of a time selling there own brand semi auto's. i know remington 1187's are not bad guns own one, buti know if you like benili's you will really like the stoger.before you get your mind to set on the remington take a look at them www.stoegerindustries.com, i think you will be suprised at how nice they are. just my 2 cents

good luck. Jeff
