[QUOTE="264MHC, post: 2017047, member: 111161"] I do about as much bird hunting/shotgun shooting as I do rifle shooting. Mostly duck hunting but shoot doves, quail, or a case of skeet every now and then. I shoot a 12 Ga Beretta 3901 (3” gun) for all of it. I would recommend Beretta over anything else for the reliability and quality. At the very least make sure you get a gas gun. They shoot so much softer than inertia guns. 3 or 3 1/2” magnum duck or turkey loads in a Benelli feel like shooting an un-braked 300 Win Mag compared to the Beretta feeling closer to a 6.5 Creedmoor with the same loads. I’ve also seen inertia guns have jamming problems in sub-freezing temperatures. I literally dropped my Beretta in a 4’ deep ditch on a day when my truck read 4 degrees. Managed to find the sling with my foot and shot all three rounds on the first volley of Teal about 30 mins latter with icicles hanging off it. [/QUOTE]
