Hope it shoots well cause im thinking of getting for for doves, and clays and such.

You'll really like the 391s. Light, neutral balance, and they just don't jam. Seen a guy shoot just over 1300 targets before he had to push the bolt handle forward just a little bit to get one nasty old reload all the way chambered.

I second the 391's. I have several of them. I have been shooting competitive sporting clays since '01 and have shot well in excess of 100,000 rounds through my 391 sporting model. Its the older one with the mobilchoke barrel instead of the newer optima barrel. I have broken some minor parts in the past but nothing I could not fix on the spot(I keep spare parts). I will tell you now: There are two types of automatics, those that have broken and those that are gonna! The thing about the 391 is that the parts rarely break and they are easy to fix when they do.

If you are only shooting once in a while or just using it for hunting, it will probably never break. High volume competitive shooting will take its toll on any shotgun eventually....even over/unders.

The benelli's are tough as nails too and dont need to be cleaned as often as the beretta's being they are inertia operated instead of gas operated. I just could never get over the way the benelli's recoiled. They dont kick that hard but they feel like they bounce back and forth when you shoot them. That said, I would choose one over the beretta if waterfouling was my game.

Wow, I have shot a ton of the guns mentioned but I really like the Citori or Superposed Brownings for just about anything. I know I am crippling myself with only two shots but they are pretty nice to shoot and carry in my opinion.

I had the opportunity to buy a friends old Browning Twelvettes and passed them up. I wish I hadn't. That is a sweet swinging gun too.

The Bennelli's are unbelievable. Can't go wrong there.
