Of all the autoloaders I have looked at I think that Benelli has the smoothest shotguns on the market. If I was going to spend the money on an auto I would save my money and buy the Benelli SBEII.
You should really go to a large sporing goods store and look at a lot of them and decide which one you like the best.
Good luck

If you hunt ducks you know the damage and abuse they take in a boat, blind, by your dog, etc. So after having my expensive guns scratched nicked and dinged I went to Wal Mart and purchased a black synthetic Charles Daly autoloader for a whopping $300. I have not had one single problem with this gun and I don't worry about it getting beat up. I have killed numerous birds with it and have no regrets whatsoever.
