[QUOTE="imartin, post: 1794650, member: 106328"] I would try to find a place that sells as many models as you are interested in and pick them all up. Pick the one that feels right and points where you look. I agree with entoptics, 12 ga, 26 - 28 in barrel would be what I'm looking for. Unless hunting tight cover, I prefer a longer barrel. I'd be looking at 3" 12 ga's with 28" barrels, but if 26" feels better, go with that. You want something light enough to carry, but with the right balance to swing smoothly. Ive shot a V3, it was a soft shooter but I say that about most gas guns. Don't believe I have had my hands on the fabarm but would suspect that as far as a semi-auto goes, the quality would be second to none. Beretta A400's are supposedly easy in the cleaning department. I know my uncle hates cleaning the V3, but it may be because it's his only semi-auto. I have a Weatherby SA-08 that has such a simple, easy maintenance, gas system, I really like it for the price. But as far as quality goes, the action doesn't feel as solid as my Browning Gold or Silver. But I haven't had any issues and it's so darn easy to clean. That's about all I know in the semi auto department, lol. Good luck and let us know what you end up with. [/QUOTE]
