Butch-M, I do like the look of the sbe 2 over the Beretta. I also like that the sbe 2 is lighter. I am having a tough time choosing, but I am leaning toward the SBE 2. Just need to save for a few months and I will have one for next season. This is an great forum, thanks for all the help!

Idahoducker, I am upgrading from a pump and I am not to recoil sensitive. I am going to look into the sims pad and the benelli recoil reducer though. Is $1,550.00 the going rate for the SBE 2? That is what Turners outdoorsman in Southern Cal wants for it. Thanks for all the great feedback! You guys rock!

Tucker, thanks for your insite very helpfull! Wildflower, Just a shot in the dark but worth a try.

I am looking to buy a new shotgun in the near future for duck and goose hunting. I was looking at both guns a couple of the guys had at the duck club this past weekend. I am between the SBE 2 and the Xtrema 2. I like the SBE 2 because it is a little lighter and has the center sight and has been around a little longer and has been proven to be a fine gun. The xtrema has the (kick off) recoil pad and has a 45% less recoil. ( at least thats what it says on the website). The xtrema has a slightly bigger bore ( I don't know if this is an advantage or not). Just looking for imput on the pro's and con's of both guns. Thanks, Aaron
