I'm going to take the plunge and get my first autoloading shotgun. I have narrowed it down to the following 3 all in 12 guage with a 24 inch barrel.
Benelli Super Black Eagle
Remington 11-87
Berretta 391
I like the feel of the Beretta and the Benelli better than the 11-87. But I would not rule out the 11-87 if it is more/equally reliable and an overall better setup and value.
I plan to use it for both sporting clays and duck/goose hunts. Opinions on the reliability and any other +'s and -'s would be appreciated.
Also, is it possible to use slugs in these guns with the existing barrel or do you need a special barrel? More worried about hurting the existing barrel than getting more accuracy from a specialized barrel.
Thanks
