Try running an airboat across 6" of water to get back to your hole. Occasionally you hit reefs and go from 20 to 0 mph pretty quick!

that makes ever less sense then. Don't you secure your guns somewhere? Don't you have them in a case?

Sorry, guess you'd have to be there. If you've haven't experienced it, you would probablynever understand.
Picture this: 20-30mph to a dead stop, flat bottom boats with decks 2-3" above the water line, everything goes out. Coolers, caps, dekes, etc... We're strapped in pretty good and the guns are velcroed to a rack in so-called waterproof cases but when they are 'launched' into the mud at speed, let's just say that most 'waterproof' cases are not 'impact waterproof'. They may take a little rain on them riding in the bed of a truck but they don't hold up well in these circumstances. Not what the cases are designed for I'm sure but lesser shotguns have not fared so well when they took the dunking.
I'll stick with Benelli for my extreme condition guns.

Those itialian pieces of junk?! Humor there. I was given an m2 as a wedding gift and am completly amazed with its unbelievable reliability. Astounding. I keep hearing about the new remington CTI gas operated shotgun, wonderful I am sure, but it will NEVER compare to a benelli in the action. I am even a remington fan and own a few, but they just cant compare. EJ
