I have an Extrema 1 which isn't quite as nice as the 2. It might be the finest semi I have ever owned and am astounded how easy it swings and soft it shoots. I regularly take it sporting clays shooting and it absolutely powders clays at any distance. Snap to clean and I have never even had a hint of a problem with this thing. This gun does not have to be babied and the gas system stays nice and clean. Thenew Extrema 2 is about 300 dollars less then a SBE and doesn't give up one iota to that overpriced gun.

Winchester X3 supposedly fires 12 rounds in x number of seconds and is or appears to be a well made gun. Last time I went hunting I didn't think I was allowed 12 rounds in the tube. The styling is way too Euro trash for me as well. Weatherby seems like a nice gun the Italian made model anyway ...if its made in turkey for 800 bucks it is way overpriced as well., I know the country of origin on it changes from time to time.I would buy the Xtrema and not even think twice I like it so much. My gunsmiths son has a Benelli SBE and he never ever thinks about shooting 3 1/2's in it because the recoil is that fierce.

Bottom line is there are a lot of guns out there at different price points. Buy a shotgun from a shotgun company and vice versa.
