And I thought Bellinis was a place to eat. because the recoil of a gas operated auto, is like 1/2 the amount of a O/U, and i plan to do a fair bit of shooting my shoulders are a bit knackered from years of boxing and carpentry, so i feel an auto will be the way forward Quote Link to post

Stays cleaner as it works off recoil not gas, and still part of the Beretta family. I had a 303 and now have a 391, the recoil is very well controlled but they do take more cleaning than the Benelli.... But I just like Berettas... Quote Link to post

But I just like Berettas... yes i did indeed mean Benelli, my spelling leaves alot to be desired I too love beretta's as my dad always used them, and they seem to be the gun of choice, with out blowing 4 grand on a Kragoff but on the auto front, the choice seems clearly between, those two manufacturers i mentioned in my op, bar the spelling mistake Quote Link to post
the Verminator 0 Posted August 12, 2009 Report Share Posted August 12, 2009 Benelli, beretta are the best there are, i think that Benellis are a bit cheaper as they dont carry the name of the berettas. Quote Link to post

I am a master in both, and advise you of everything you may need to know. Perhaps in appreciation you could help me in the art of shagging?, as I have sadly left that neglected?
