duck hunting gun, which one would you buy?

[Sticks&Strings]

I went today and held the beretta a400, sbe 2, super Vinci, A5, and a versamax. I really liked the sbe 2 and A5 so far. I didn't feel like i got down enough on the beretta

a400 or a5. I have both and both are awesome duck guns. the a400 will run you a little more but it does have a chrome lined barrel

[taylormade820]

the only thing i dont like about the a400 is the camo finish chips very easy. the a5 is more durable camo finish if you ask me. both may discolor slightly from oil so watch your greasy hands! haha good luck.. either way youll be happy

Super Black Eagle II without a doubt. that thing points better than any other shotgun i own.

I am throwing in the Winchester SX3......

By far the best gun for me, i clean before and after the season.....Start with Doves and shoot 23/4 7/8 & 1 oz then go through the ducks and geese with everyting under the sky....I clean mine on Feb 1....

Looking to add that A5 from browning but it will still be my primary..

If you want a great gun for a little less, I have a Franchi I12. I've had it for over a decade. I've never once had a single issue and I've killed thousands of birds with it.

They're owned and made by Benelli, use the inertia system. Just a sweet shooting machine.

If you're stuck on the bigger names though I'd go
1. SBE 2
2. M2
3. Extrema

Sbe 2

Another vote for the M2. I love the way it points and swings. I also have its upland cousin the Montefeltro, which isn't finished for the salt marsh but is the same design as the M2 and is relentlessly reliable.

Any of the B's will be very reliable guns. Try to use each of the ones you're considering before you buy if you can. At least shoulder them. I went into it wanting the A400 but wound up with the Vinci. Been very pleased with it. Cycles everything. I got the standard Vinci as I have no use for 3.5" shells. I almost got the SBEII but the Vinci felt a little better to me. I couldn't get the a400 to feel right. It's kind of fat or something.

A400 xplor all the way.
