Not the best gun but the best value is the Mossberg 930, Franchi Affinity, and Beretta 3901.

The LOP on the Beretta is much longer than the other two.

Beretta find a good deal on the xtrema

Not a fan. I switched to an Xtrema because I was sick of misfires...

I've had great luck with the "walmart" Beretta 390. I believe it was right around $600. Worked flawlessley for the last few years even after getting wet. Cycles dove loads easily too.

I have a Vinci and I love it. I dove hunt with it.and shoot a lot and.I've never grotten any blisters from it. Also have a 390 & 3901,.they are good guns too

I have a Super Vinci, old 1100 and a 870 from the mid 90s. The Vinci is awesome and I take it out nearly every time but if I had to have one gun the rest of my life it'd be my 1100. It's a 78 model so I'm not sure how it stacks up against the new 1100s but it shoots when my buddies guns are jamming and it fits me better than any other gun I've shouldered. Only thing I've done to it in 12 years is change the O rings...

I guess it's better to dig up an old thread vs starting it all over again as if it had not already been talked about dozens of times.

Love my old reliable 1100.

The best valued or the best? Two completely different options.

My son shoots it as well, very good price/performer. You just have to keep it clean..

Yeah no kiddin.

Bought a benelli M2 American for $699.

I bought two Affinity's and think they are great. They replaced the I-12 and supposedly don't have the issues the I-12 had. My 12 gauge even cycles 1 oz loads without a single FTC.

Like others above, I have a Vinci (black, regular version) and love it! Although, I made the mistake of letting my older son use it for dove hunting last winter. It's now the only gun he wants to shoot. I guess, I'll just have to use my 20ga cordoba this season.

I just sold a miroku made A5 for $500 in 98% condition.

It's not current production, but one of those will outlast you if it fits you.

Just one mention of the 1100? I have a beretta extrema and love it but i also keep using my 1100 its boring but its my dad shotgun and keeps working fine

I bought a Weatherby SA-08 last year and used it all year without cleaning and it worked like a champ. Put atleast 300-400 shells through it including some buck shot. Very versatile light weight and swings good. Will take up to a 3in shell.
Oh yeah and it only cost me 400$

Talked to the Browning Rep today he said the a-5 will be out mid july, that's what I'm waiting to see.

Love my browning silver. Fast gun and never had an issue.

I am partial to my browning gold but it is what I have. Never needed to try anything else.

Beretta 391 with twist bolt!

I shoot a SBE II but i really like the Vinci. I also won a escort gun at the DU banquet last year. It shoots very good also for a 400$ auto shotgun.

Old A5 and A500S cant beat them....iv hauled mine around and put it through some nasty weather...never lets me down

vinci. never had the finger rub, but if you fire enough heavy load shots, feels like a broken knuckle by the end of the day. just reminds me of the fun hunt i just had.
