- In our last top three shotgun video, we talked about our most popular shotguns for under 1,000 dollars. This video will focus on our top three most popular shotguns for those of you who are wanting the best, and price isn't a factor. Hope you enjoy!
Great video! Very informative. Personal preference is key when making a decision. I grew up with an Ithaca 37, with the safety on the rear of the trigger guard. Because of all those years shooting a rear safety, a front safety, would cause me great pause, perhaps even a deal breaker, when considering a new shotgun. (I’m glad you said you couldn’t go wrong with any of these great guns!)
Love the channel, just subscribed, now I have the long hard choice between the 3 guns it might be hard to twitch over from my browning being my family has killed countless limits of ducks in the same we still hunt in today, the browning bps and a browning auto 5 from Belgium were the kings of our duck blind. Thanks again Guys love the video
Awesome video. Just what I was looking for gonna get me a a400!
First video I subscribed... can we talk about how the guy on the right looks like the long lost third Paul brother?? LOL
Your review was heavy on Beretta for features. So was your likes. I bought the beretta. It stands out all the away around. Add LOP and trigger pull weight. Good review.
I have SBE2 and use it for everything. Had Sbe3, still had benelli click and it shot 18" high and 6" left so I sold that. Had a Beretta A400 unico ? The model before the plus that kept stove piping shells and hated the safety so I sold that. Waiting to See if Benelli comes out with SBE 4 with raised rib and better bolt engaging to really eliminate Benelli click.
Perfect editing to get the Garand Thumb reference @ 4:20
do you have the Benelli bi diamond available? so you can talk a little about that
Hey I was wondering what camo is that on the super black eagle 3 thanks
do yall have the stoeger m3500 Waterfowl edition?
I've owned all three of these guns and the Beretta A400 is by far the best of the 3.
Great video but I’m not a big Beretta fan had problems with two Berettas I’ll take the A5 every time
Any thoughts about the armsan paragon grande super magnum?
Have you guys ever had any issues with cheek slap on a400 from the kick off mechanism?
I was always taught how to switch the safety with the knuckle of the index finger if the safety behind the trigger as my finger is resting in the trigger guard ver unintuitive reaching ahead of the trigger to switch to fire
What’s the camo pattern on the Beretta?
Please tell me where you got that diamond back skin on the super black eagle
Hello! Tell us, please, about double-barreled shotgun: the cheapest, the most popular, the best in your opinion. Thank you for the interesting videos!
whats that camo on the benelli
That camo pattern on the Benelli is almost like Dimond back rattler 👍
What’s the name of the snakeskin pattern on the sbe3????
WHAT DO U THINK ABOUT THE SHORT BARRELL SHOTGUNS?
I’m on the fence between a super Vinci and super black eagle. Can you guys explain the difference? The SBE is significantly more expensive where I’m from so I wanna know if that price jump is justifiable. Great channel by the way!
great video guys. i am from Malaysia and owning a firearm here is really difficult and it is not easy. nearly an impossible feat to actually own a firearm. however saying that, i manage to get my license and approval for my SBE3 with BE.ST model. an excellent gun especially made for hunting in wild thick rainforest. we get rain all year round and SBE3 is the best gun for this adverse weather condition. maybe you guys can share which other model is made robust for harse weather conditions. thanks
I’ve been a Benelli fan and have bought many over the years mainly because how they pull up for me and so easy to clean. Used to have issues in cold weather with jamming but now use FP10 for lube. Problem solved.
do you know what that camo is for the SBE3 in the video
How reliable is the A5 newer model? Hear bad things and I want to purchase one. Just hate to buy one and regret it.
What is the pattern on the Benelli?
Since posting previously about a comparison 'Taste Test' between the A400, and the Maxus II, I purchased a Browning Maxus II and had friends and family come to the Banks of the Snake river and put the Raven clay launcher to work for the test.
I must say I was both surprised and pleased at the result.
I am VERY biased toward the A400, and it probably colored my final opinion, so the best I can do is say it was a draw. Though my conscience may trouble my sleep about the recoil aspect, I feel confident my familiarity with the A400 caused me to overlook any difference I found. And anyway...no recoil is NO recoil
Friends and family were not so effected.
The Maxus II scored better with all of them on fit, feel, weight, and just an eyelash worth on the recoil.
They all scored more hits with the Maxus, but only just!
I can say this quite honestly...A400 or Maxus Wicked Wing II. Both have earned a place in the blind.
There's a new team on the block.
I've seen guys going nuts trying to shoot skeets and sporting clays with Benelli guns using target shells. The Beretta gun handles Walmart target shells easily and that means you can practice with it. Big advantage.
Federal top gun or AA is really the only way to go, I have SBE3 is 20 600 rounds in no issues on trap or clay course. My buddy has A300 and every so often it will fail to fire , with the same loads in 12.
the chverons are in the stock to flex and absorb recoil on the benelli
Looking for winchester shotgun super x model 1 30 barrel or 32
Love the beretta a400
A400 is drilled and tapped for optics like red dot....which makes it stand out from the SB3 for Turkey hunting. Just saying....
LOP is the issue. How short can these go?
Beretta es la mejor!!!! Saludos desde la tierra del tequila Jalisco México
Thanks for all the info. Have been looking into the A400 xtreme plus, and some others. But I think A400 is the one. Just got a question, have you heard of an upgraded model for A400 coming after this year? Just wondering if I should wait it out to see if they come out with an upgraded newer one
They haven’t said anything about it yet the latest is the a400 extreme plus they did come out last year with different camo’s but other then that no.
Do a review on the ethos
I have the A400 Beretta, sold a SBE2 to get it.
Comparisons...no comparisons at all. After shooting the Beretta I wanted to throw rocks at the SBE2.
Most guys will eventually get older and have arthritis in hands or shoulders, especially in the cold weather. The Beretta will give you 6-10 years of shooting comfort beyond the beating you will start to get with a Benelli. Why not start off with the softer shooter to begin with?
I had a Winchester SX3 I passed on to the son so he'd have a quality gun as well, and hands down it is the most enjoyable gun I've shot after the A400 Beretta.
I am looking forward to shooting the gas operated Browning 'Wicked Wing' Maxus 2.
Looks like a nice gun, but it will have big shoes to fill before it can compete with the A400 Beretta.
How do you find the weight of the A400 vs the SBE2?
a400 is great i have one but still prefer my super vinci its so easy to clean but both are great shooters
Any problems with cheek slap on the a400?
@@pete5691 No, never noticed any
Do you?
@@pete5691 No...Not that I ever have noticed.
How much are these, and are they available without the camo?
How does a Benelli Ethos compare in price and performance, especially (primarily) for clays?
Thanks.
I would buy the browning for the speed load feature and the longer sight-plane.
I got a maxus, awesome shot gun
J Kenny & Co. makes the same setup to retrofit benelli's, berettas, stoegers, and the versamax
whats the normal price range for the A5 Wicked Wing??
maxus 2 vs A400?
The only a5 I would shoot is the real old ones cause I don’t like browning all that much and I have the sbe2 and the a400 and those are some of the best guns made
On the A5 can you shoot buckshot and slugs? Obviously it depends on what size shells it’s chambered for just trying to find something I can hunt deer and also ducks and turkeys with and I’m really interested in that A5
Sure it can. Use IC choke. Shoot slugs and buck in mine all the time.
Top pumps?
Great video! However, never forget the FN SLP. Fast, reliable, minimal recoil, and FN (battle-proven).
Fn is just a Winchester/browning.
FN SLP IS AMAZING
I don’t think the SLP was adopted by any significantly large militaries or LE departments.
@@echofoxtrotwhiskey1595 the gas system gets filthy tho. 😑
@@shockwave6416 That hasn’t stopped the M4 and the 1301
Would there be anything you two would have to say about the franchi affinity 3.5 elite? I’m debating whether or not to get this shotgun as my first 12 gauge. Would there also be any words on the SBE2? I’m also debating whether or not to get this shotgun.
I would strongly recommend it. I had a wicked wing browning maxus take a big dump in the field, wouldn't fire. After that I sold all 4 brownings I owned and replaced the maxus with a franchi affinity 3.5. I wouldn't own a browning now, overpriced junk. Franchi has better trigger, better price, inertia driven, less moving parts to tear up. You mite need to shim the franchi for it to shoot point of aim but other than that it's solid dead in hand.
@@matthewmoore4860 I just so happened to pick up my Franchi after hearing others like you! It is a very, very nice shotgun and I instantly fell in love with it. Took it out for all my hunts in the 2021 duck season and loved the performance I got out of it. Hell, a dog even threw mud into my chamber but it still shot beautifully with no jams.
Does he get lost?
Can any of these shotguns be used 'effectively' for deer hunting, i.e., buckshot or slugs? I plan to hunt deer only once a year so I'd like to have one gun for mostly water foul, but the off weekend for deer ...thoughts?
You can shoot a slug through any smooth bore shotgun, ive actually heard a lot about smooth barrels shooting slugs pretty good. Personally I wouldn't shoot slugs through my xtreme plus, but I don't know that it would hurt the gun any. Just don't run slugs through anything other than cylinder choke. You can even buy rifled chokes to put on your shotgun, but getting any gun to shoot well is a matter of finding a shell that shoots well through your gun via patterning. I say go to a store, find a gun that's most comfortable for you to shoulder and operate in your price range, that's your shotgun
The beretta safety location is the biggest reason I don't like their autoloaders. People try to sell it same as you described, that it's less finger movement. Click it off and slide your finger down the guard and over the trigger. But that actually takes longer to get your finger on the trigger than a safety mounted on the guard behind the trigger. If you press the safety off with the meat of your finger, behind the first joint, you can click the safety off as you wrap your finger around the trigger in one single motion. As I shoulder the shotgun and place my finger on the trigger, the safety falls and I'm ready to shoot.
REALLY SAFETY IN FRONT GOING TO THE TRIGGERS IS ONE DIRECTION TO THE REAR. A SAFETY IN THE REAR YOU GO FORWARD AND THEN BACK WITH YOUR FINGER. PROBABLY MAKES LITTLE DIFFERENCE.
My Browning Feather 725 over and under with a 26 inch barrel weighing just 6 pounds and 7 ounces is my top of the list shotgun regardless of action types. I use Invector DS extended chokes. Light Full Lead/ Extra Full Steel top barrel and Light Modified Lead/ Improved Modified Steel lower barrel. 3 inch chambers and extended forcing cone with back-bore barrel dynamics. Nice.
Is that a new rattlesnake pattern on the Benelli? It’s awesome looking
Maxus 2 with a 26 inch barrel weighing just 7 pounds is the best. New magazine cap attachment and pegs in forearm to keep it from rattling. Sculpted trigger guard to facilitate loading the relieved loading gate. Oversize magazine release and bolt tab. Stock made to be shortened by design. Cera-kote treated and rubber grip and forearm. Chrome chamber and barrel and nickle Teflon coated bolt. The Browning Maxus 2 is the best.
The SBE looks like it has a Snakeskin Camo..........I like it !
do you know what the actual name of the camo is, can’t seem to find it online
Optifade Timber or Optifade prairie
I can’t find it either do you know what it is
Which one does the best job cycling light loads?
I think gas guns are traditionally better regarding light loads. I have the Beretta 1301 tactical and A400 Excel Trap and both have the blink system and I shoot Winchester white box #8 (1200 FPS) out of both of them and have Never had a problem cycling these rounds or any round out, since I mostly shoot #OO/4 buckshot and slugs out of the Tac. Also, even though they are gas guns, you don't have to really clean them regularly. I have shot thousands of rounds out of the A400 and have taken it apart to clean the gas system maybe twice and really didn't need to then. I just put a bore snake through it and spray lubricate and wipe it down when I am done at the trap range where I usually 100-200 shells.
If you were also wanting to go for something like a Stoeger that’s inertia driven, make sure to put at least 50 rounds of heavy load through it to break the coils in and after that just make sure to oil your coils and it should cycle lighter loads perfectly fine. But if not then a gas system is definitely gonna get you those better cycles and not gonna choke up on you. The Beretta A300 Outlander is personally my favorite gas shotgun if you wanted to also keep and eye out for that
Over under
Do u ever have any problems with the inertia guns ejecting dove loads
I haven't. Some people do, but if you shoot a few boxes of some high velocity loads it will loosen the inertia spring and feed like a champ.
@@austiniler79 been on the fence about the a5 wicked wing because of that thank you for your feedback
@JT Chevy so do I😳
Always
On the 1 0z target loads always
I recommend the browning maxus
Browning maxus is that real smoke, Maxus Makes Em' Fold, All day Every Day
@@brycewilliams2908 I got mine 7 years ago and it's been utterly reliable. I also have had good luck patterning 00 buck with the factory modified choke
I just got one in the sporting version, I love it. I don’t think I’m going to want for another semi auto shotgun, probably not ever.
All they need to know is, If the trigga is gold the bird will fold,and if it's brown it's down on everything I love, maxus is a different breed from all the other, including loading faster and having the tube cut off switch to, and I'm a big duck and goose hunter, hunting in 10 degrees is rough on a gun but maxus is that real stick
@@brycewilliams2908 I also keep mine for home defense I just put a saddle on the stock and I got 10 rounds of buck
I'd choose my Maxus over an AR any day
some of the moving parts are in the buttstock. not being visible doesnt equal less moving parts.
laugh all you want but i have a tristar raptor with all the mechanism under the forearm and it does not have a fat forearm
😘😘😘😘
Bennli is the best for all kind of hunting all you need the right cartridge
Unbelievable patterns
Beautiful modern shotguns. However, I happiest with my trusty Remington 11-87.
This guy probably owns an extended Beretta buttplug
I have a Stoeger m3000. It’s good but I have to clean it after every hunt. First shell has not been ejecting..are these high end shotguns that much better? In terms of less maintenance and more reliable? I want to slam my stoeger against a tree sometimes 🤬🤬🤬
Definitely worth it to buy a higher end shotgun. Just do your research and go to stores and see what you like. They’re definitely worth it
If it’s cold conditions possibly causing you problems try FP10 for lube. All I’ve been using on my Benelli’s for the last 10 years
Stoeger is a good starter shotgun. If you're getting serious into hunting, you might want to get a little better quality. The Beretta outlander is like 800$ and I heard it's very good shotgun. Franchi makes a good gun. Ive got the beretta xtreme plus and it's awesome. Like these guys said, it's a beast. I started with stoeger m3500 , but sold to a friend and put the money towards my Beretta.
Old school a5 can't beat it
I like CZ 1012
The goose band chokes just look cheesy and gimmicky to me.
For me the Benelli is lighter smaller and faster when walking and jump shooting.
That snake skin come factory?
Ha more Remington 1100 and 11-87 have been sold than all the competition !
Once I bought a Beretta, I’ll never own anything else.
Browning....
Beretta is the best choice
Some can't afford but one gun per family. Some family members are right handed and some left handed. I wish your videos were more in-depth, informative about things like the ability to set cast to neutral.
I understand Benelli offers no shim that will give neutral cast.
Maxus over the A5
well i guess everyone has their own opinion.
I don’t care If they are purple with yellow polka dots, I want functionality and durability information
Oh! The Three Shotguns are Too Long!
More camo? Fucks sake.
The holy trinity is a SBE SBE2 SBE3 Duh
Benelli 🤘🏼🤘🏼
Beretta too bulky !
Heres some facts on Shotguns......very few point of aim is indeed point of impact at 25 yards.....If you are going to the moon and you want a reliable shotgun then take the worlds most reliable shotgun, the Remington 870 Wingmaster........if you want the most reliable auto loader then shoot the Winchester SX3.........these two will shoot and load case after case after case.....clean or dirty, cold or hot...........been shooting for 60 years, shot almost all of them and what I have not shot my friends have owned and shot.... true story
Since you love to BS so much at least get proper mike for clear sound ! ! I could not understand a word even with head phones on.
