I shoot both a Browning BPS 12ga. 3 1/2" and a Benelli SBE II. I love both but I am leaning more twards the SBE due to recent back surgery. One thing I would suggest is if you buy a Benelli make sure you get it in one of the camo options. My dad bought one in the composit black and he used it for the first time down in Arkansas for ducks. The day was sunny and warm with a little fog in the morning. He took his gun out of the case the next day and I noticed the bluing looked funny. After close inspection I found it had a light coating of RUST over most of the gun. I wiped it down and it all came off but the gun was immediatly traded for a como one when we got back home. No problems with it since.
GOOD LUCK
