I saw a show on tv last summer where they were dove hunting in argentina. The guide service had about 30 shotguns....all Benneli' s. They said they' ve tried them all, and those were the only ones that would stand up to that type of abuse (thousands of shots per day). They actually had one that had 400,000 shots on it, [] and was still being used on a daily basis...wow! Of course, it was tv...so take it for what it' s worth. I' ve also read some things that state similar findings about the Benneli' s. For the average hunter using a shotgun....probably any will do well. However, if you are going to put that kind of abuse on one...do your homework and get something that will stand up to the punishment. Have fun...sounds like a great trip! (Make sure you bring a recoil pad ...those first few thousand are liable to hurt! )
