the benelli's are the fastest cycling semis I've seen. I can set empty hull on side of reciever,turn up,and shoot 5 times before the hull hits the ground!!!!!!!!!!
Not that it matters as 99% of shooters can't take advantage of thecycling speed of any auto loader. The Winchester SX2/SX3 are the fastes cycling models.

I am primarily looking for a gun that has a rifled barrel with 1x28 twist for deer hunting , but am also planning to purchase a field barrel for bird hunting etc.
For your money, you might be better off getting a gun like the Mossberg 695 for you slugs and a semi auto for your other uses. Price wise would be pretty close or less and accuracy would be better.
