New to Shotguns, seeking opinion on which to buy

Sorry Jim - I'll disagree on "felt" recoil being the only one that matters.......IIRC, you're about my age.....recoil effect is cumlative, and while felt maybe a factor....ACTUAL, over a LOOOOOOOONG time adds up.......HEAVY gun, LIGHT load equals LOW recoil.......adding a gas gun to the equation also helps to make it "feel" lighter,

example - my 28 is a gas gun....it is s o f t..........but shooting the same load in a heavier gun, though not gas, is really less....

guess we'll agree to disagree - I know you like your benelli guns, but they arte lighter than Beretta gas guns, meaning they WILL recoil more, and being ID, they will even feel more as well.........

But I DO appreciate your knowledge and input........
 
We obviously disagree Lance - and while you're entitled to your opinion on the gas guns

Actually, I was simply stating that you were saying negative things about gas operated shotguns that are completely untrue and false, and are only supported by your own personal bias against them, and not any actual facts.

Feel free to prefer to shoot a Benelli. I have no problem at all in folks liking and shooting those shotguns. Just don't unfairly disparage gas operated shotguns with comments that are simply not true, or are greatly exaggerated.

I agree OneOunce - and I appreciate your input as well. Our different points of view are good for the discussion and I understand your perspective. We've both made our decisions on the guns we shoot - and our discussion of the issues with various guns hopefully will help somebody else make up their mind or maybe ask more questions before they buy. Either way, its all good.

Lance - you're etitled to your opinion - but don't tell me my opinions are the same as making blatant untrue or exaggerated statements or clouding the facts. The issues you are alluding to seem to be my opinions on the speed of a gas gun cycling vs the Benelli super sport, how often you have to clean a gas gun and something about price that got obscured somewhere... I gave you my opinions on cycle speed and reliability - nothing more / and you can no more prove your point of view than I can. I assume we both know neither one of us can necessarily believe what the marketing depts of the gun mfg's say as fact.

I will continue to share my opinion on any guns - as I see it. I assume you will do the same - but there is no reason for you and I to go after eachother on a pesonal level / I'm way past the point where I have to prove how high up the tree I can pee - and I'd appreciate the same courtesy from you. Disagree if you want - but don't tell me my opinions are falsehoods.
 
FYI: I just today FINALLY received in my Benelli SuperSport (30" barrel). The dealer actually priced it a bit under quote at $1750, so I was quite happy. I had to find the "extra high" comb myself, though -- I was a little surprised to see that it cost $95 by itself.

Anyway, I didn't do much other than put it together then take it apart so far. I'll let my bro-in-law take me to an outdoor range for a proper lesson with it someday soon (perhaps vs some skeet).
