Shotgun Advice

I would recommend the Beretta AL 391 Extrema 2 with the kickoff system that is what I shoot it is a great low recoiling shotgun that will shoot the 23/4 3" and 31/2" shells they are the best on the market for the money

My 15 year old son has been shooting birds and clay pidgeons with me this year and really loves it.

I am thinking of buying him an automatic for X-mas. We will be doing mostly skeet/trap and upland bird hunting. Maybe some ducks down the road.

Winchester new auto's that look good to me are the X-2 and X-3.

They are going for about $750 to $800 for a 28" barrel, chambered for 12 Ga 3 1/2" shells. I figure to add a choke system to the gun, and it should be fairly versatile.

OK value? Any other brand/model suggestions?

Blade, break down and get the kid a Beretta!!!

ROFL!!!! He is turning his nose up at the Belgium Browning I started him out on, and would gladly tie a ribbon on for him. All my shot guns are break guns (nice ones) and he still wants an auto.

I would recommend the Beretta AL 391 Extrema 2

Great suggestion, I am checking them out

you can buy them in bundles over on gbid. they're seconds, but most BOTG would say there is no difference.

A Benelli for a 15 year old boy? Nice dad...Yeah that is a great brand, along with Remington and Beretta. I think you would do better with the Remington or Beretta for the price/performance. I would never buy a Winchester since they sold out to Savage Arms. Has he ever shot before? I have Browning, Remingtons, and a Charles Daly. I love my Browning 12G automatic. But if I were in the shopping mode I'd consider Remington and Beretta, with Remington being the pre-shopping favorite.

Benelli all the way, same price as the Beretta, at least around these parts.
