Why the ha after benelli?

Cuz they're fucking expensive. Almost as expensive as Browning. And what do they offer over their cheaper derivatives like Stoeger or Franchi? Nothin'.

ahh ok, its the old kia == bmw argument. I get it. . I love my Benelli 12ga, smoothest 12ga I've ever shot.

Nah, it's not Kia == BMW.

It's more like Ford == Lincoln.

See, I don't think that the Lincoln (Benelli) offers so much more over the Ford (Franchi) to justify spending the difference between the two.

I mean, literally the only difference I could find between my Franchi and my Teammates Benelli SuperSport is that my bolt return spring is "forward" around my magazine and his isn't. A little more conventional, and it makes for a *slightly* larger handguard. The actions are identical as far as I can tell, they shoot just as well (he actually likes mine a little better) and mine is prettier.

So why'd he pay double? (Literally.) They're both Italian short-action-recoil automatic shotguns, they're made by the same company in the same factory, owned by the same family.

Now, I'm not saying that Benelli's are garbage because a Franchi is just as good. I am just saying that, for me, there was no way I could justify the extra expense to buy Towncar instead of a Crown Vic.

What did you spend? My benelli was only a little more than a comparable Remington which is really the only other gun I considered.

800 bucks.

Well, the first time I picked this gun up I suspected there was a 25 in there, just waiting for me to coax it out.

Well, tonight was the second time I've shot it, and damned if I didn't step up to the line and shoot a 25. I didn't even realize I hadn't missed until I loaded my 21st shell, and then looked at my buddy John down the line. I'm sure he could read the fear on my face. I wanted this so bad I could taste it, and I just wanted to gloat a little.

Where do you go shooting? I'd like to go sometime. I've never shot a gun at a range before.

The league I shoot in is held at Fairfax Rod and Gun Club, but when I want to shoot on something other than a wednesday night, I normally go to Bull Run Shooting Center.

Here soon I'll schedule a "NoVA MM Shoot Shit Day", I'm just waiting on either a cooler day or for the weather to break a little. It's pretty miserable when you can't see anything for the sweat.
