Need help picking between these guns.
 
I will be hunting Dove most of the time, but maybe ducks every now and then. I am looking at 3 different guns, and need advise from people who have used them or know a lot about them.

Beretta A400 Xplor
Benelli SBE II
Benelli Super Vinci

I am open to other suggestions, but I want a 12 gauge semi-auto. Any help would be appriciated. Thanks

Go with either Benelli - simple to clean if dropped in the water.

I own the SBEII - it is flawless cycling any round I choose.

A Benelli is not gas operated. Mechanism is an inertia spring.

Get a Franchi (now owned by Beretta), you will wish you had done it years before.
Mine is lighter than the Benelli Nova I owned, it never has issues cycling different loads.

So the inertia system is more reliable than the gas system? Whats the difference between the SBE II and the Super Vinci?

your question i feel is for JW. but if you go on our info at SHOTGUNWORLD and talk to EXPERTS,not saying me or JW dont know what we are talking about, comparing both companies,BERETTA will win out.
so gas system is better and they will tell you why.i know when i was going to buy a shotgun,they steered me to BERETTA.
1 reason was felt RECOIL.
BERETTA with gas system reduced felt recoil.

not knocking BENELLIS, i like feel of them too.great gun,either one you would be fine BUT experts will say BUY THE BERETTAS.
