I shoot a 45 year old Remington 870,never fails and never had to repair it. I have all of the big B shotguns and still use the 870 because reliability is 1st.

Its a shame they downgraded tremendously when they unveiled the sx4I was in the same position as you, several years ago. Had saved my money and went to my LGS, to buy a Benelli or Beretta. After checking out several guns, I eventually bought a Winchester SX3. Awesome gun, several hundred dollars cheaper.
Every now and then, I get the itch to try something else. Then i shoot my SX3 and say, "Nah, I'm good".
It won the job and has kept the job.
3.5s out of a pump is for young people!!Have a 870 express super mag for 40 or so years. Never let me down. Every one else in our group has them fancy Benelli's. Mine shoots as good or better than theirs....I just don't shoot 3 1/2" shell's anymore, too old for that stuff now. Going to Texas first of the year to hunt some sand hill cranes
I'm a fan of the Franchi Affinity. I have the 20 but I imagine the 12 is just as nice.
I shot a whole box one weekend out of a benelli nova. It was uncomfortable to say the least. I’ve shot a bunch out of my 835’s over the years. I actually get better patterns with 3” heavy shot for turkeys.3.5s out of a pump is for young people!!
I am looking to purchase another shotgun. Something I can shoot ducks and maybe a turkey with so the cammo is needed. I've racked my brain trying to find a cammo Benelli Montefeltro. Any good advice on who still has that gun or a comparable option??.
And yes.......I understand most of the guns and ammo are bought up with respect to the social climate!
