Lawndart Posted June 7, 2009 Share Posted June 7, 2009 I'd get a used SBE I. If you're patient, you should be able to find one for about $700. I'd rather have a used Benelli then a new one of the other brands you listed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt D Posted June 8, 2009 Share Posted June 8, 2009 The real question is: What are going to shoot, upland, clays, waterfowl? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JayBenelli Posted June 8, 2009 Share Posted June 8, 2009 (edited) The real question is: What are going to shoot, upland, clays, waterfowl? Exactly. But I would definitely try and find a used Benelli over a Franchi or Stoeger, you wont be disappointed. I have an SBE2 and its the best all around gun I have ever owned. It will take anything you throw at it, I use mine for waterfowl,turkey,and clays.If you cant find a used Benelli, or want a new gun for around that price and are set on either Franchi or Stoeger I would go with an I-12, Ive heard good things about them, my buddy has one he loves it. Even cheaper but basically the same thing as the I-12 is the Stoeger model 2000, One of my friends has one and he says its a great gun for the price. In my opinion go with a used Benelli, but thats up to you in the end. Hope this helps! Edited June 8, 2009 by JayBenelli Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
