I was hoping this was gonna be my answer. But I have an FN SLP that just wont cycle reliably any 2 3/4 shells never has. I did what your buddy did and started throwing parts at it. Even sent the piston out to be sealed and installed the surecycle recoil system. I want to like this shotgun but can’t. But thank you for the video I didn’t know about that buffer.
Recoil is exactly why l have come over to Beretta a400. My SBE 2 is nice realible and given years of good hunting, but the recoil has always been stout. 😂😂
And I had to take my sling off and put it on another gun. I found that the sling would drastically slow me down and restrict me while reloading. With this gun, I’ve found you need to be as free and mobile as possible in order to do quick reloads
"Chill out bro, your to tactical. "Maybe he is wearing that because that's his everyday gear on duty, or maybe if you don't like something just keep it to yourself and scroll on. Why stop and watch it if it bothers you so much. People like you are the very reason some of the best you tubers are disappearing. Constructive criticism is one thing but just being negative is really a waste of the precious time we have on this earth. Be positive buddy, or just don't say anything.
I’m with you man I’d rather shoot a hand fitted and polished gun from the days when quality was first. And u can tell when someone’s never shot a sweet 16 or light 20 set up right. Now days crappy a$$ triggers and they do not shoot to point of aim….. stiff loading. I can’t understand. Do a video on the best dove guns ever made hands down lol. I’m not knocking yal at all just sucks we don’t get our moneys worth anymore
Been on the fence on choosing one. I’m partial to Beretta because I have the A300. All in all it boiled down to the safety placement and the kick off system. Great videos very helpful with explaining the weapons as a whole! Beretta all the way.
I had just bought a beretta A400. The quality out the box is appalling. I went with beretta because of the gas system and eas of break down and assembly. Looking at the banelli I have severe buyers remorese. the bolt group is blued and everything appears to be orders of magnitude better quality. Have the A400s started to be manufactured somewhere else? I'm furious at how poorly my weapon looks. The magazine tube was bound shut and rust on the bolt with severe wear on the bolt carrier. Wtf beretta.
I'd send it back to em. My a400 is like 6 years old and still looks great other than the minor finish wear that will happen with heavy use on any dipped gun. Always reliable cycling even after 2+ cases ran though it no cleaning. I'm not sure if they are manufactured elsewhere now but if it looks that rough I'd send it back to them. I have found that regardless of price or maker, you may always have a chance of receiving a lemon. My dad's maxus 2 has always been garbage since the day he bought, including after he sent it back to browning. Now he just shoots a 500 dollar impala plus because he doesn't want to quite literally waste 1800 dollars again. Hope everything works out for you. Qc isn't what it used to be unfortunately.
What’s your favorite auto loader for the dove field? I want to buy something in 20ga for dove and skeet shooting for practice. Really like the idea of Beretta recoil system for lots of shooting. Thanks!
As for the safety on the m4, try this! With a long straight finger, push in the safety button with the inside of the second joint on your right hand. That works for me, let me know if it works for you?
I'm lucky enough to have a 1301 LTT. It has been just outstanding! My luck holds and I also have an m4 LE model. It also had been even more outstanding! Both are excellent fighting shotguns! I am well and heavily armed with either or both! I do favor the m4 over the 1301 LTT. I subscribed and will look forward to your future content on fighting shotguns. PS: I completely agree, those Hornady shells are really hot!
Botton line the smith at 800 with a rise ra 140 trigger is all you need folks. The trigger is everthing. I have an anderson arms with that trigger. 450 for ar and 92 bucks for ra 140 trigger and its more acurate, better gun than any of my other guns ,colt, smith gen 3 ,bushaster old school, .....basic gun with drop un trigger is were its at. Not ambi controls.
Not the M400. The M400 is a direct impingement gas operated rifle. It has a low profile, mid-length gas block. The piston operated rifles like the 516 and the MCX do have adjustable gas blocks.
I have Beretta A300 Ultima, A400 Extreme Plus, and Stoeger M3500. All good guns. I kinda like the feel and swing of the Stoeger better. All cycles everything I put in them.
I shoot a 390 and my buddy a sbe. When we trade guns I don't notice the difference in recoil(shoulder pain) with duck loads while hunting, but I DO notice I can get back on target quicker with the Beretta due to less recoil. I say that even though I think the SBE feels better when I shoulder it. A400 xtreme will be my next shotgun.
I would echo your comment. I have a 390, 300 ultima, and a 400 Xtreme Plus. Gas guns really just have less recoil which equates to getting back on target much faster. Inertia guns have a great reliability factor though. BUT much like AR piston systems vs gas systems the gas systems have improved so much the gap is now near zero. I would also say if you are willing to do the research and go to a 2 3/4 shell in the 1250fps to 1350 fps range you will slay more birds due to even less recoil. My 2 3/4 hand loads worked wonders last season and out of the A400 it almost felt like the gun didn't fire the recoil was so low.
@@pjoffrion I would strongly recommend it. There's nearly no pellet increase in a 3" shell over the 2 3/4. So realistically less recoil will kill birds than 15-20 more pellets.
I got both in 6.5 Creedmoor, waypoint likes the heavier 156 by Norma and CA likes the Hornady match 140’s. The CA does out shoot my waypoint but waypoint feels better.
I've owned over 20 Benellis. Not all Benellis shoot higher. It's a problem specific to the SBE3. Also, any Benelli with a 3" chamber instead of the SBE's 3.5" chamber will shoot light loads. I regularly shoot slow 1oz loads in my Benellis with ZERO issues.
That Montefeltro is HANDS DOWN my #1 all-time wishlist shotgun. I wish to God I could afford that thing. It is, by far, the smoothest action I have ever felt on any long gun. You can literally pull that bolt back with judt a pinkie finger. Excuse me while I go find a bib to control my drooling over this gun.
I shot Benellis for years M2, SBE11 very successfully. I got an SBE 111 and struggled with it for a year until I gave up. No matter what I did it just didn’t work for me. I bought an A400 plus and everything came together. I am extremely happy with it even though it failed to cycle on my last hunt. (I have never had any of my Benellis fail).
Had a SBE 2 years ago. Was the best shotgun I had ever owned. Was about ready to buy the SBE 3 but figured I better do some research. I use the 3.5 inch shells for coyotes and have gotten a bloody lip a few times while patterning the SBE so the A400 may be a better option. Great video. Thanks for your time end efforts.
Don't forget guys a big point you missed is the Beretta safety is on the front of the trigger guard witch is a big minus for a lot of guys.and you should do a video on the rem vc 3
