To answer your question...they're good guns but do yourself a favor and look at the Beretta Xtrema. I've shot both and been around both for years. Owned a 390 for years w/o any troubles...I now own the Xtrema. It's still new so I haven't put too many rounds through it. It's a pleasure to shoot...even the heavy 3 1/2 loads. My good friend put two cases through his last year w/o cleaning it and not one hang up.

Guys around here say the Xtrema cycles the lighter loads more consistently than the SBE. The SBE owners say they're finicky about the lighter loads....when shooting doves or clay pigeons, etc. Plus...the SBEs are more expensive $$ around here. Out of all my waterfowling buddies all own either the Xtrema, SBE, or Browning Gold...most owning the Berettas.

Any of the three would make a fine choice.
