Benelli SBE II
Just got done with my first duck hunt with the Benelli SBE II.
Super Harsh Conditions and the gun shot perfect after it was submerged for a couple of minutes until we found it. It definitely gets the thumbs up. I would highly recommend it for you dedicated shotgunners

If the water was poured out, any semi could handle that. The point where it might fail would be when it started rusting just like any semi. Or freezing up in the gun. You drop your shotgun where I hunt in MD, you better run back to the truck to do a field cleaning and oiling and then do it again. That salt water will setup rust in minuties. If the SBE can survive Assateague Island and be dropped in the water and still hunt all day, I wouldn't buy anything else.

I've dropped my SBE1 into Gulf Coast salty marsh muck on more than one occasion, sloshed the mud out in the salty water and shot it for the rest of the morning without a hitch. Of course I cleaned it out well and CLP'd it when I got back home several hours later. No signs of any corrosion 3 years later. These shotguns are as easy to clean as an O/U or SxS.
