I own both. You guys are dead on. Good job!
I bought an A400 Xtreme Plus 12ga a year ago and it had a hard bird season last winter from dove to waterfowl and even used it with slugs for deer. Along with shooting some clays ive got about 2 cases through it with zero cleanings or oil being added. Its been dropped in mud, sat down in flooded corn at the marsh, rained on and put back in its dry bag case. I had it out a couple weeks ago and was shaking grass and god knows what else out of it. Hasnt let me down at all. By far my favorite shotgun I've had and used.
I'm looking at purchasing either gun and really appreciate the information from you both. Thanks fellas!
Very nicely done and glad to see the younger generation out and comparing much great interest.
Great video guys👍🏻 I have the A400 and my son has the benelli we love them both👍🏻👍🏻
Good job guys. Have the A400, heavier but swings smoother, also Beretta has the relief cut where the bottom loading port is and makes it easier when loading shells and less likely to pinch your fingers.
Great video lads, thank you for putting it together.
Thanks guys! I’m looking at both and leaning toward the a400. Super informative, straightforward, and easy. I know they are both great but I think I want to put the reduced recoil as the most important factor for me. Also I didn’t know about the difference of the sight alignment. So that was great info! Thanks!
Thanks. I got the a400 and I love it. I think you will too.
One thing you need to know about Beretta if you have to call the customer service or the corporate office they do not answer the phone. Their customer service is horseshit I wouldn’t give them a plug nickel for anything they make.
Didn’t know that. There guns are top of the line though
You are right, there are not very many decent comparison videos on both for them being the top tier guns in their class. Good video. I went with the SBE3 after a few months of testing, reading and fondling. I ended up with the SBE3 because of my familiarity with inertia systems.
There are a ton of videos comparing these shotguns, and this one doesn't even have any shooting footage like Target Focused Life does. Oh, and Kansas sucks!
Very helpful gentlemen, thank you.
Thank you for the vid. Informative and helpful for me to make the decision between the two guns.
Glad you all just made this video! I’m am in the market and been looking at both!
Yup. I was in the same situation. That’s why we made it
Had both kept the beretta. The only down side with the beretta I found that it’s a little heaver and little bit more bulky. The sb3 on the other hand shoots ridiculously high so you have to think about floating the bird constantly when you take a shot, recoils heavy with 3 or 3 1/2 shells. Not that it hurts or anything but it makes follow up shots harder.
I personally don’t think that the benelli shoots that high, I have killed hundreds of birds with benelli and never noticed
@@EmbracetheChase_yt You really have to pattern it to know how high. I was worried about that after purchasing one. Patternmaster Classic Long Range and Golden Pheasant loads at 30 yards shoot 3-4 inches high for me. Right on in my opinion. I don't know if it's the choke or a later production SBE3, but mine isn't near as bad as some I've seen.
@@EmbracetheChase_yt I just sold mine it was shooting at 20 yards 3 feet high and a foot left
Glad to see a side ny side review
Well put together video fellas 🤙🏻 hope you guys have a safe and successful upcoming season.
P.s. we just need to get some hair on those chins lol
Thanks. You too. 😂
I was at sportsman warehouse debating on which to get for almost 2 hours. The SBE 3 even had a $200 store gift card Included. I think the a400 was just a bit more pricy. I ended up going with the beretta because I’ve always wanted a beretta like my grandpa uses. The only thing I don’t like about it is the weight. Its night and day between my other 12 gauge stoeger. The 20 gauge would have been the best choice but I went with the 12 for those windy days and for the goose pit. I think they are both great guns. But I know for a fact if I would have got the SBE 3 I would have had buyers regret knowing that beretta was still on the shelf. So I went all in and got the a400. I like the craftsman ship of it a lot more, the beretta logo on the grip on the forearm and on the extra grip for your shooting hand comes in handy in the rain. I don’t like that the bolt release is plastic tho, you’d think an $1800 gun would have all metal parts, same goes with the barrel cap being plastic kind of bugs me. But overall, it’s a great guns and I haven’t had one malfunction. Can’t beat the oversized bolt handle on the plus either, makes it easy to handle with gloves.
I know you weren’t the only one making that the decision. I think that you will love the gun, even with the extra weight.
I've had the SBE III for a year and am gonna switch to the A400. The benelli is nice but with the inertia system it doesn't cycle well if I'm wearing a coat on cold days because of the padding even if I pull it really tight to my shoulder. I also had to do a lot of adjustments with the shims and the and a different sight because it was shooting high and left when I patterned it when I first got it. I think the barretta will be better for pulling up to the shoulder and shooting quickly and accurately. I'm trying to decided between the 28" and 26". I'm thinking the shorter barrel will help with swinging fast for hitting faster birds like teal but the 28" might be more accurate. I'll put a kicks choke tube on it which extends the barrel another two inches anyways. Thoughts on if I should get a 26" or a 28"?
I got a 32 inch barrel, extra accuracy, and I feel that I can swing fine. Absolutely love that gun. I also got the kicks too. So it’s a pretty big gun. I’d go with the 28. U should have no problems swinging and hitting them faster birds like doves and teal.
Great video thank you for sharing
Thanks. Glad you enjoyed it
I have both and they’re great in their own way.
Conclusion ! C’est quoi la meilleure
Beretta upland A 400 ou Benelli black eagle 3 ?
Plz des réponse
Great video you two, Quick question. Now that you both have had each gun for a year now, do either of you wish you went with the other model? If so, does the Beretta owner want the Benellis or vice versa?
I am the beretta owner and I do wish that the beretta was a bit slimmer, but overall we both love our choices, so if you decide on one of the other you will definitely love your choice. The best thing about the beretta is that it doesn’t kick at all. I hope that answered your question.
Yooo Levi what up… nice vid dudes
Thanks
Hopefully he is gonna do a bunch of videos with me
Well done guys!
If possible I like to see the review and opinion on the Browning maxus 2 gas gun versus the Beretta a400 plus gas gun. Thanks
Im not quite sure about the browning. I have never shot, or held the browning, but I hear that it’s a great gun
I have a benelli ,brother has a a400. 100% the a400 is dominant in every aspect. Just cost more.
Nice video what choke you guys running?
I am running the kicks high Flyer full in the beretta. He is running the patternmaster code black goose in the benelli
Good job guys!
i cleaned my benelli m2 for the 1st time in 8 years and i can’t recall it jamming once
All I know is my cousin bought a new super black Eagle three and I bought a new Beretta a 400 this last duck season and we took them out of the box straight into the woods scatters in Arkansas and the Bonelli jammed every other round I couldn’t make the Beretta jam straight out of the box that’s all I know🤷♂️
Yup. The beretta is a very smooth quality gun. No questions about that.
What gun shoots 3&1/2s consistently without jamming ?
Most guns shoot 3 1/2s consistently. But 2 3/4 don’t always shoot consistently
My Winchesters shoot everything well
Seems like all guns shoot 3 1/2 in. Well. That’s just my opinion
I have both I’ll take the benelli
How do they do with light loads looking for a squirrel gun in 20 ga?
The beretta will do a bit better because it’s a gas. Vs the benelli which is a inertia driven. They both should do great with squirrel loads tho.
@@EmbracetheChase_yt thanks have a franchi turkey elite very nice does not cycle light loads and i am not shooting hundreds of rounds for it to start a expensive gun should shoot well and reliably immediately
Benelli 🤘🏼🤘🏼😃
always taking my berreta over my benneli and people give me $hit about it but it’s so fast and reliable
I totally agree
Usually when I take Someone in the blind I hand them the a400 just cuz it’s no recoil. Soft for sure
So which one do you guys prefer?
They are both high dollar guns. And both feel amazing. The beretta fits better, but the benelli is more slim. I prefer tbe beretta. But either way, they are amazing guns.
I'd go for the Benelli man 🤘🏼The SBE 3 can fit you better too if you shim it, and easy to clean. 🤘🏼👊🏼🤙🏼
I have an SBE 2 and had a A400. Hated the safety on the Beretta. Both would stovepipe with light loads 1oz 1100 fps. Both had problems in freezing wet conditions.
Keeping the bolt engaged in the benelli became a habit.
Beretta makes a weird sound when cycling.I use my gun for upland and waterfowl hunting.
Which one would you prefer
r u cleaning your guns bc this doesn't happen to me with either gun
I heard that Mullets were coming back 😂
The A 400 is THE ultimate creme de le creme waterfowlers gun
Did YOU buy them or did your parents 😂. Certainly a nice game room you guys have. Seriously. Keep it up. Just a few hints: get some lav mic’s so your sound is better. You have a good backdrop with the stuffed animals, but I would cover the windows when it’s dark and keep them open when it’s light. The backdrop is worthless with this crummy audio. Good luck.
Thanks. It’s actually my dads game room. I paid for 100 percent of mine. Thanks for the hints.
@@EmbracetheChase_yt good to see a young man who knows the value of hard work. And how to well spend his money. Buy once, cry once. Kudos.
Thanks
Is it max 5 the sbe3
Max 4
@@EmbracetheChase_yt sbe3s didn’t come max 4 had it dipped yourself?
I’m sorry. Your right. Max 5
@@EmbracetheChase_yt own a sbe 1 sbe 2 bought the 3 after seeing that gun
Benelli doesn’t make a SBE 1 it’s a super Vinci lol
You can absolutely pull shells out the bottom of the gun
Y’all both special! Learn what components are and the perks of them before doing a review
Thanks
How did y'all afford $2000 shotguns?
both were less than 2k and started working at a young age
A300 for the win!!!
I mean, it sure wins for price. And it is reliable
@@EmbracetheChase_yt I have shot them all and there is not a dimes worth of difference in a shotgun past 650ish in price. You are buying a name. It’s a shotgun, not a precision long range rifle.
@Meh 2 Yeah. I mean out of the box there is not much difference. But after years of wear and tear, eventually the 650 gun is going to cycle slower, and it’s not going to cycle the small loads as good. There is also a difference with recoil using Turkey loads.
So not exactly true
@@EmbracetheChase_yt The recoil is hardly a noticeable difference with 3 inch Steel Shot and the “years of wear and tear” is not a good argument. The higher end guns do not have a higher life expectancy. They do not advertise a higher life expectancy. They are prone to the same malfunction issues as the mid tier. Most of which are failure to feed, failure to fire, failure to eject.
So yeah. About a dimes worth of difference for an additional $700 dollars. You are buying $690.90 worth of hype.
Jesus is King!
You need less stammering and more shooting in your videos.
