When you look at guns which have been successful in the market place for a number of years, it is hard to pick out one as the best. I have a Remington and Benelli. The Remington is reserved for deer and turkey. The Benelli, which I like but bought for no good reason (didn't need just wanted it), serves as my back up for deer. turkey, upland bird for which I have a Browning (O/U), and my loaner to a a couple of relatives. Quite frankly both are good guns. The Remington happens to fit me better and I have been successful with it.
