3 1/2" mag shotgun?
What's better the Browning Gold or the X2 Winchester, Benelli SBE, or?

I only have experience with the Benelli SBE. I use mine for everything from doves to geese. It is reliable, accurate, and fun to shoot.
With its enertia recoil system, you can mix ammo without any worry about gas impulse or recoil springs.

I own the Browning Gold Hunter. I have had nearly no trouble with it, I say nearly because early on it jammed on some Federal shells. These shells were over 1/8" longer (after firing) than Winchester or other 3-1/2" shells. After I switched to Winchester loads, i have had no problems.
I believe the Winchester and Browning are virtually the same gun. Both companies are both owned by one corporation. I do know they use the same gas assembly but may have other different parts.
I would not hesitate to buy a Browining Gold again. I have not heard anything bad about any of the Benelli's, so I dont think you can go wrong there either.
Go to a gun store, and feel each of them, whichever fits you best get it, because they are all great guns, and you wont go wrong with any of them.

I'll put in a second vote for the Benelli Super Black Eagle... They will shoot the heaviest load down to fairly light loads (but mine will NOT shoot 7/8 oz 2 3/4 loadings but will shoot 1 1/8 oz el-cheapo loads all day long).
The SBE is a breeze to clean and stays much cleaner than gas operated systems. It also cycles much faster too if that's important to you...0 -
I can only second the notion.. that Benelli SBE is a great choice.
Own one myself - it's definately a gun that I would not part with, no matter what.
Being as simple as the Benelli is - it's very fast.
I can't remember the record, but I think it was 9 shots in 2.15secs - a good second faster than the second fastest in the test.
I like the safety feature when unloading the gun.
Just cycle the bolt - this ejects the shell but will not take a new shell from the mag - let the bolt close and unload the gun like any other semi-auto/pump.
If you want to take the next shell in the magazine - you have to press a button and then cycle the bolt.
I really like this for smaller hunts - makes unloading really fast and much safer, at least seen from my perspective.
Don't do anything that I've allready done - That'd be just plain STOOOOOOPID.0 -
Another vote for the SBE. And mine will shoot the 7/8 ounce loads. I bought a few boxes by mistake. I did some work on the trigger and the stock, added recoil reducers in the stock. Shot it till I could shoot 25 straight(at trap), then started to use it in the field.
