Best waterfowl semi

[Jordan T. McGrath]

I'm looking to buy a semi and am stuck between beretta a400 xtreme unico with 30" barrel 3.5" chamber or benelli super black eagle 2 28" barrel and 3.5" chamber, any suggestions?

win sx 3.5 waterfowl. Browing gold is pretty good as well. Shotgunworld.com is a good site to give you the in's and out's on all shotgun's that are made. Hope this helps.

I got a super black eagle 2 it's expensive but I love it.

I have shot the 2 of them belonging to my buddy and found the black eagle the better of the two. I would rather shot my winchester SX 3 though, found it just as fast and smooth and the price tag is a whole lot better on it if you were considering another gun. Either way you cant go wrong with either one of the 2.

I fired both today with 3.5" and the benelli kicked the crap out of me, I think the beretta is the best choice, not hating on benelli, I have a nova with over 5,000 rounds gone thru it, with no issues, but I think benelli needs to rethink there design

lol for sure

did that benelli have the comfortech stock? If it has it shouldnt be too hard hitting. Benelli has changed its design its called the super vinci. personally I liked the SBE 2 better. 

But I still prefer my Extrema 2. And these days with the new 400 out you can pick up an extremamat a great price. The camo dipped version with the kick off is the way to go.

You can go with either, both are great guns. I have the Beretta xTrema 2 and I have put a ton of steel thru it.I think last fall ( 2012) I ran about 1500 3.5 kent shells thru it.Its got 7 seasons on it now and Im guessing it must have 6 or 8 thousand 3.5  rounds thru it now and even more 2 3/4 and 3 inch. It will take a pounding and keep going. I use it on salt and fresh water,mud dust and sand.. from turres to teal. Its very soft shooting and has never so much as put a small bruise on me.The recoil absortion is amazing and the new 400 is supposed to be better.But unlike the adds I do clean mine regularly.

It cycles as fast as I can shoot accurately.

But in fairness to Benelli I have hunted with a lot of guys who shoot benellis and they stand up well. Its a lighter gun and very easy to break down for cleaning.

Theres a reason they are more expensive than many of the others.
