[QUOTE="Orange Dust, post: 1617717, member: 92702"] Steel shot waterfowl loads are extremely dirty. They require nearly daily cleaning of a semi auto if you want it to run right, especially if its rainy. The inertia guns will run dirty, but they kick harder than a gas gun. There is an answer for waterfowlers that hunt every day. Its the Remington Versamax. Both of mine run better dirty than clean. I've used them guiding and shot thousands of shells through them. Lowest maint. gas gun on the planet. Hate to say it, hate the company, and their previous offerings since the 1100 have been junk, but the versamax will run even better than a super black eagle, with a lot less recoil and better patterns. Just a fact. I've had 4 SBE's. Beretta extrema is a great gun if it fits you, but likes to stay clean, same with the Brownings and Winchesters. Franchi's don't seem to like really cold, wet weather. Knowing their limitations, buy shotguns by feel, not looks, price, or bells and whistles. They will all run once you learn them. I have a cheap escort 20ga gas gun we bought for the kids. Runs like a top if you keep it clean. Points pretty well too. [/QUOTE]
