nutshot 0 Posted January 9, 2006 Report Share Posted January 9, 2006 me and my mates have been shotgunning rabbits on a large estate in suffolk for quite afew years now ,off the back of a truck.and in that time we have tried quite a few autos, and in general most have been a pain in the arse.the only ones that have stood the test of time is a berretta ulrika and a benelli m1[8 shot]. the problem with the benelli is its weight but itsgood point is it really comes into its own when you come onto a group of rabbits .the best handling is the berretta ,and it is very reliable to ,it hardly ever miss,s a beat .this said i still prefer to use my berretta over and under and with practise you can load it fairly quickly to, if the need be,plus when it,s broke you can see it,s safe not like an auto especially at night . so my advice would be stick with th o/u met .
