Benelli makes a darn good shotgun - on their autoloaders the action operates by inertia instead of gas, so they won't let you down if you aren't real picky about cleaning your guns. If you can get into one of those babys for $280 bucks you can't miss.

280 is a nice deal for a gun like that Warren.

I wonder how much of a hassle that is to go across the border?

They got pumps, not semi autos. They were almost double the money. Border crossing was not a problem they said

I like my buddies mini 14, but sometimes it's hard to see your target for the dirt flying.

What prompted you to get the 3 1/2 Sherm, I didn't think you would get something like that. I do like my old Mossberg, it has served me well for a long long time. I am taking it with me over to the farm, there is some chicken hanging around so when I am combining sometime next week with any luck might have some chicken for supper some night, or some partridge.

i know i sort of contradicted myself by getting the 3 1/2 inch gun, but i was noticing that with my 3" that if i was trying to pump it too fast, the empties wouldn't clear the chamber and get jammed in there. this way there's lots of clearance. i doubt i'll ever use a 3 1/2 inch shell... not into pain that much.

paid a little over 300 for it.
