    wanting to upgrade to a fancier 12ga semi..

    suggestions?obviously aside from the most important aspect of fit, I'm wanting a soft-er shooting 12ga than my ata century and am considering a berretta A300 or Fausti(cant remember model). suggestions?

    Theres heaps mate.
    I've had a few, I now have a Browning Maxus and I highly recommend it, under 2 grand, soft shooting and it just flat out works for me.

    A400 or Benelli Supersport if you really really have to have a semi but both might be over your budget. If its for clay busting then might I suggest an O/U, (spoken by someone who got sick of picking up empties and did exactly that.)
    All those with dogs waiting no longer fear death. Those with many dogs waiting even welcome it in it's time.

    Just had a look at the new A5 Browning and it looks and handles pretty well.
    Just over $2,000 from memory and is recoil operated!!
    Maybe worth a look.

    I have a Browning silver hunter ,it don't kill your shoulder with heavier field loads like some auto's.
    Any of the Browning auto's would be good value for money .
    Gun control means using both hands

    You could look at loads and chokes before running out to get a new gun.
    I used 2 3/4 BB thru a kicks full choke last year,
    Big difference from a 3 or 3.5' on the shoulder.
    Milk your birds in closer, and pick your shots more
    May save you 2 grand.

    For what it is worth buy a Benelli 20g and never look back. We have M1 and M2 in 12g but the 20g is so much quicker it is not funny. Forget the lies about the 20g being under powered.Deer ,goats and pheasants all die full stop.
