Nothing wrong with that. Over/unders are around 60% or better of what I see. Way easier to carry too. You just break them open and set them on your shoulder. Sometimes I wish I had gone that route, but my bad shoulder thanks me every time I put a softer shooting semi against it.

A Montefeltro with a 28" barrel. It's reliable and easy to clean and maintain due to it's proven inertia system. It has nice wood and blue finish. The Monty will hold it's value better than many auto's and can be purchased below $1000.

If you can justify spending $1300 I like the Benelli M2. The Beretta A300 is IMO the best value for a semi-auto.

rule of thumb on brownings is, if it has the name lightning in it, its lighter than others. as a hunter, sounds like you got what is needed. bravo.

My money just went for a Fabarms L4S Hunter. The “bottom” of the L4s line, sporting a simple elegant black receiver, “only” 3 steel rated chokes (vs 5), no fancy box, 26” 12 gauge.
On my postal scale 6 3/4 pounds, a tiny bit heavier than my Ithaca model 37 but this modern gun has choke tubes, can take steel shot, 26” barrel (my Ithaca is 30”) and balances for me without thought. I think it’s the perfect do-all shotgun, 100% made in Italy, service through Briley. Getting a gun with modern features, light weight was an important factor. The gas loading system is also reported to be supremely reliable over a range of shells.

I have a Beretta Xplor Unico which weighs in at 7# exactly and is equipped for up to 3.5" shells. The Kick-Off system makes shooting it very tolerable and it will eat my light reloads.
For a lot of use, I prefer my DT-11 which weighs almost 9#.

I picked up the Montefeltro. Very pretty and very light.
BTW, I bought it from Reed's Family Outdoors. They had the best price I could find and a 10% coupon code. I paid less for a new one than used were going for online. |
