Of the ones you listed it would be the Beretta. But you said the price was an issue with the Benelli. The extreme 2 is right there with it in price.
Actually I can get the Xtrema 2 on closeout with a rifled barrel for 799.00 and it has KO. I just don't anyone that has one and has used it with slugs.
That is one heck of a deal. I know BPS has it for $899. That gun with a vent rib in black sells at a lot of places for $1400 or more. All depends where you go. A vent rib barrel will probably run you another $350 or so.... but it will be the easiest on your shoulder. I've shot the Xtrema 2 bird guns, but not the slug guns. Can't imagine they wouldn't shoot very well... and they will be easy to shoot as well, as the KO does take a fair amount of recoil out of the equation.
The other great deal is the Ultra Slug hunter for $250.... can't beat that with a stick... and they shoot extremely well.
