I really like the Xtrema, now. Initially I had problems with the gun not shooting to the point of aim. It shot about a foot to the left at 40 yards. I sent it back to Beretta with several patterns and they said they had to " reseat the choke" or something to that effect. The bottom line is when I got it back it shot where I looked. I dove hunted with it some when my Super-X1 was having problems, or when the weather wasn' t great, and it never failed to eject any load I put through it, even some that wouldn' t cycle through my father' s Super-X1. I especially love it after this weekend' s patterning. When I spoke with the folks at Nitro I was told that there was a lot of variability in the diameter of the barrels on the Xtremas (.728 to .733) and that the larger ones definitely patterned best. I must have gotten lucky. The Rhino choke that I have, and Nitro recommended for the Xtrema, is the .660. I sure am pleased. I am shooting the 4x5x7 2 1/4 oz. load #H51013. One last unbelievable observation: on the better of the two targets, in the 1" orange dot (it was a 100 yard rifle target), which represented the " bullseye," there were 9 pellets at 40 yards!
