Hello,

I need some help on deciding which 12ga. semi-auto to get. Due to an injury a pump will no longer
work for me. The two models of semi-autos I have narrowed it down to are a Beretta Urika 2 or a
Benelli SBE II. Right now I can get a great deal on a Beretta sale priced at $800.

I want something reliable that will work in inclimate weather for turkey & deer hunting, as well as
doing some trap and target shooting. Could someone help? Thanks

Just returned from the gun store and looked at the Benelli, Beretta, and Browning yet again. I am
probably going to rule out the Benelli SBE II. It is my belief that it is way to much money for the gun.   
I also thought the material and workmanship of the Beretta were superior to the Browning. So I am
probably going to get the Beretta AL 391 Urika. Thanks for all your help

Deer turkey trap and target - that's a lot to expect from one gun. I have tried several slug guns and have arrived at an Encore pro hunter 12 ga single shot slug barrel which I could drop a shot shell in if a turkey walked past. Mine has an aimpoint on it.

I have decided to go with and purchased a Browning Gold Hunter.
And really that is not alot to expect from one shotgun. Back in the old days that how they did it.
Now I have a NEF 12ga customized, Wolf Spring kit, trigger job, cryo-accurized, teflon coated by
Black Ice Coatings Inc., and a Hi-Viz tactical sight. I has served me well since 1987 for deer, turkey,
and target. I wanted to upgrade and will sell it to anyone if interested. Thanks

I LOVE my Benelli M1 S90. Worth every penny. Personally, I do not think you can go wrong with either shotgun.
