dove duck pheasant quail gun use other than Benelli M2. My fingers get blisters from the loading port. I know I can have it sent off and widened, but it is wifes gun. Looking for something for me. Browning Silver maybe? Haven't ever held one or seen on but do see some good write-up. I already have a Beretta Whitewing 20 O/U but wont/cant shoot steel through it. Have a SBE for 12 ga stuff. I just want a 20 semi. TIA

Just to make sure that it is done thoroughly, I go both ways.

I have a Weatherby SA-08, I believe it is now sold as the Weatherby Element. It's a great gun. Also, don't ignore the Franchi Affinity 3.

M2 and don't cry about loading it.
The secret to a long life is to try not to shorten it.

Browning Silver's are nice guns, but a fair amount heavier than the A400. I have an A400 in 20 ga that I really like and it's light. Franchi Affinity's are nice too. Personally I didn't like how Benelli's shouldered for me.

I have a Urica 3901 and love it. My wife has a 301. Maybe check out the used racks.
