Guys thank you very, very much for the info and the helpful replies !! Lately I have been shooting a 20 ga A5 Browning, and it is a fantastic Dove gun, so I'll definitely take a look at the M2 20 Ga. Take care, and many thanks again !! -- Cain Stan, I may take you up on shooting that Gun sometime. I live in Lexington, but I get up there on occasion for work or play (football- I'm a Gamecock tho!)...

Which guns have the most recoil, all 12 ga. Browning A-5 Beretta 390 Benelli SBEII Benelli M2 Field All assuming typical field loads for shooting doves, upland birds and 2 3/4 shells. Thx !! -- Cain

Good morning folks. I have a question for anyone kind enough to help me please. I am primarily a Dove shooter here in South Carolina. I have grown up shooting an old Browning A-5 and I am interested in a newer gun, hopefully with a little less recoil than my Dad's old 12 ga A5 (made in the early 1950s). I own a 12 and 20 ga A5s, and I tried a Beretta 390, but did not like it as much as my A5s. Now I'm looking into the Benellis, so can some kind soul tell me exactly what the differences are between the SBEII and the M2 Field, other than the max shell size ?? Considering my shooting which is mainly doves and some occasional skeet/trap and less occasional ducks, which model makes the most sense for me, since I shoot almost exclusively 2 3/4 shells ?? Reliability is No1, fit and recoil No2, and ease of maintenance is No3 for me. Many thanks for all replies, and opinions !! - John Cain
