Vinny: Sounds like I was the guy talking up the Benelli with you on Sunday at Old Bridge! (beard, 'World Steel Challenge' cap) You mentioned you purchased the gun at Rays.. Small world... I'm lookin at either the M2 or M1 S90-- got some interesting leads on gunbroker... Glad ya like the hotgun...see you in 2 weeks! docgary

Appreciate it!

Thanks for the reply, tucker.... My understanding of inertia v gas is a difference in recoil. Since I only shoot clays(no hunting) I use target loads-3 d, 1 1/8 oz, 7.5 or 8 shot-always at or under 1200 fps. How would the recoil compare between the 2 and my 12g o/u Stroeger? My real concern is the SBE or M2 a better clay shotgun as compared to the 1187? Why? Another question for another day- Which dedicated practical shotgun (IPSC, 3 gun etc) is the best -regardless of $: 1- Benelli M4 2- Benelli M3 super 90 (semi-auto and pump) 3- Remington 1100 Competion Master 4- Winchester Practical MK I / II TIA docgary [ 05-06-2005, 05:02 PM: Message edited by: docgary ]

As a new shooter and leftie, it has been difficult to choose a good semi for clays. Although the Rem 1187 is the 'conventional wisdom' choice, the SBE II and M2 are appealing. Are these Benellis over my abilities and needs? (I have a Stroeger Condor which I love.) Also, how does a gas driven semi compare to an inertial driven one? Pros and cons? Dose the Franchi 712 cone in left hand? Any other left hand semis come to mind? TIA Docgary
