Bruegger,

My personal favorite sporting shotgun is the Beretta A390 gas operated semi auto. After shooting Remington 1100s, Remington 870s, Winchester 101 O/Us, & a SKB O/U, I find that I shoot noticeably better with the Beretta. The only other gun that comes close is my old Browning Auto 5. The Beretta is soft shooting because of the gas action, the gas system is extremely reliable and relatively easy to clean (easier to clean than the Remington 1100 or 11-87) and very durable. The receiver is anodized aluminum (very corrosion resistant), the matte blue finish on the barrel is fairly rust resistant, and the barrel is chrome lined (very rust resistant and very easy to clean). Check out www.shotgunreport.com for excellent info on sporting shotguns.
