Default RE: Benelli or Browning

I'm also fortunate enough to be able to hunt with both guns. The SBE II is THE shotgun to have if you're using it more for wing shooting. I have a 26" barrel on mine and would love to find a shorter turkey specific barrel but it has been a total pain to try and pattern even with 2 different turkey chokes! The Browning I have experience with is the 3 1/2" N.W.T.F Edition and it is an absolute turkey crusher! Tight patterns at 50+with just Winchester #5s, it's an exceptional shooting gun! Last 2 seasons the Gold stoned 'em at 52 and 56 yards, birds collasped and lay still! The Browning feels like a LOT more bulk in the hand compared to the super light and sleek feel of the SBE II. IF I could just get my Benelli shooting like the Browning I'd probably never use another shotgun.
