Kelbro, I am not a basher of Benelli. I just didn't think that comparing an 1187 to a M2 or SBE2 is a fair comparison. I like the SBE with the pistol grip. I think it would be great for turkey hunting. But I wouldn't come on here and compare two guns, that to me, aren't in the same class. Fit, finish, and resale are great on the Benelli. But you can also get high end guns from Franchi, Winchester (SX2), Browning, etc. that don't cost as much as Benelli. I don't bash my friends that shoot Novas or SBE's. I just think that the Benelli's are a little overpriced, IMO.
