I have a Benelli Super Black Eagle II. It is an expensive shotgun. But it is probably the last shotgun I'll ever buy.

They are everything you've heard about them. They are tough and reliable. Mine patterns like a dream, has the best balance and swing, just a great feel, and it's super fast shooting. It's my favorite shotgun I have ever held.

That said, they are expensive. You have to ask what a shotgun is worth to you. I can understand not wanting to spend that much in a shotgun.

He shoots Benelli. They are awesome turkey guns, but i hope you have a thick wallet cause they arn't cheap. They are well worth it though if you have the money to purchase one.

Remember it's just as easy to kill a turkey with say an H&R as it is a Benelli. Just an opinion though. I prefer a bow anyhow.

Good Luck this season.

You already have one of the best guns out there, and has been for years, the Remington 870. That is one of the best.

If you are looking for another equally long lasting gun, in an automatic, you will not be disappointed in the Benelli. I personnaly have owned a M1 Super 90 for about 5 years and could not be happier...and I bought it used!

I personnaly do not see the need for a 3 1/2 gun so that helps me too.

I do hear excellent feeback on the Super X 2 and 3. Also, a good friend owns a Stoeger, which is a essentially a Turkish manufactured Benelli.

I thing adrenalin_junky meant H&K instead of H&R.

And for good reason. These guns are everything the Benellis are and more for about 1/2 the price (or a little more). They are a VERY high quality piece built by FN in Belgium. Lightweight, swing like a dream, pattern VERY well, are ultra-reliable and even the slow one (the SX2) is a faster cycling gun than the Benelli's (if that matters to you).

I guess I am oldfashioned to some extent. I carry a singleshot H&R Pardner 12 gauge chambered for 3.5" mags with a TruGlo Gobblestopper choke and TruGlo RedDot scope.

I use a singleshot for 2 reasons.

1) It didn't cost me $1000 to buy, in fact I have less than $225 in the whole thing including the scope. It came from the factory all black and I took the time to camo it myself. My gunsmith thought it was a factory paintjob.

2) I know I only have 1 shot so I make it count. I am 3 for 3 on turkeys I have shot at with it. Since I know I don't have that immediate second shot that you get with a pump or auto, I take my time and make sure it is a good, clear shot.

I have been using a Benelli M2 for awhile now.....it is light, easy to carry while finding your "sit-down" turkey spot, and shoots everything you feed it....they are 3 inch chambers....and I have shot 1oz loads out of it as well without hiccup.:)
