I have decided to purchase a new 12 gauge semi-auto shotgun. I have read reviews and I would like comments from people who know---which of these three shotguns is the best?

1) Browning Gold Hunter 3 1/2 inch Wood or Synthetic

2) Benelli Super Black Eagle II 3 1/2 inch Wood or Synthetic

3) Beretta Xtrema 2 3 1/2 inch Synthetic

This gun will be used on everything from doves, quail, waterfowl, pheasants, prairie chicken, turkey.

Comments please! Thanks.
 
go for the gold. thats what i have and its always been good to me. i bought a wood 3 1/2 30" barrel in 2000 and have fiered alot of reloads through it and still works fine. they dont kick much they are the cadilacs of semiautos.
 
I like and own some Benellis, but I've heard through more than one source that SBEs can be finicky. They are all good choices I suppose, but I'd probably go with the Beretta Extrema 2.
 
Is price an issue?
I think there is a considerable range in price, depending where you live. For me, a couple of hundred dollars is considerable.

Really, all are excellent and quality wise, you won't make a mistake.
As Dave said, you need to go by feel, and you can't do that on a bulletin board. You have to heft it and see how it fits you. What I shoot very well may not work for you.
Is there a dealer near you where you can go and check them out?
