I bought my first SA shotgun in 2023. The Beretta A300 Ultima in Cerakote Bronze Mossy Oak. Phenomenal gun!! Bought it late on a Sunday and was so excited I took it duck hunting the next morning after a light cleaning. My first 3 shots on an early morning bunch were all green heads in the bag, and my shot percentage was ridiculous that day. Felt fantastic to shoot and knew I made the right choice as the gun fit me so well. I almost purchased the Mossberg 940 Pro W.E. based on the video with Jerry and Lena and your review, but the finish on the A300 and fit was so good in the shop (for under $1k) that I knew I made the right choice. Performance in the blind and field confirmed this. Could easily see the A300 Ultima in the same slot as the V3 or Franchi Affinity 3 for a waterfowl or even on the upland list. I have not had the issues with the trigger like yourself and a few others, I have a feeling had you not had that bad luck with your A300 trigger you would have had it on your list because it is fast too. Any A300 Ultima fans out there?!
Can you do a old shotgun review? Remington 1100, original a5, browning b80 etc...
I have all three of those and they’re all beauties my b80 doesn’t like light loads my a5 and 1100 are both 2 3/ 4 guns neither of those have ever missed a beat. All three guns have beautiful wood machining and blueing.500 bucks for a used 1100 can’t go wrong
Throw one more to the mix, Browning 2000. I’ve got Belgium A5’s, 1100’s, and a 2000. All of those are a literal toss up for me to grab for field use. Now the 1100 is my go to for skeet.
Great idea... don't forget the original Beretta 300 series
I couldn't agree more
Cool idea. Would love to see that. The Beretta 390 would definitely need to be a worthy contender for that list.
After binge watching all of your videos I went with the A400. I’ve personally never owned a semi auto shotgun because my 870 20ga did the job in Louisiana.
Thank you for helping me make an informed decision!
I have an A400 multi target in 32”, it a great gun for both sporting and trap… I have even used it on skeet with very open choke! The A400 extreme plus is also very reliable and comfortable to use with heavy loads.
I bought a CZ 1012 shotgun for shooting trap in my 4h group. This was by far the best shogun I’ve ever shot! I’ve never had a misfire even though I only cleaned it twice that yr. It shoots so smooth and is just amazing for the price! Love it. 19:50
I bought the A400 this year as a gift from my dad for my birthday. I made the purchase after watching a ton of your reviews and I have to say I am absolutely pleased with my purchase. I love it. Thanks for the awesome reviews.
You bought yourself something from someone else for your birthday, how does this work? I am dyslexic and this is not computing, do you mean you bought him one for his birthday or him bought for you?
Or did you pick it and he pay for it as gift to you?
I like your videos, I bought the falcon Strike recoil pad, I actually took a couple of rounds of skeet and didn’t really think it helped much! I was wrong, this over under used to kick like hell, I went back out to the gun club a week later, what a difference, first the recoil was knocked down significantly, next I ran the birds on a sporting clays gun I never ran them on before! I’m ready to get another one for my beretta trap gun! It really helped reduce recoil!
Man I have the affinity 3.5 in waterfowl version and I absolutely love it! Great video!
I won the berreta a400 Xplor in a raffle and have been shooting it for a few years. Best shotgun I have ever shot low recoil, quick pointing, easy to shoot.
Comprehensive review..thanks for wonderful reviews all the year. Keep going.
awesome comparison by activity. Really informative and helpful. All the best in the New Year!
I’ve been using a sx4 and only ever had an issue if I was using cheapy shells but using waterfowl loads I have never had an issue love the gun
Great content man! Really enjoy your channel!!!
ThankYou, Always good reviews. I'm a hardcore water-fowler and own the Wicnhester SX2,3,and 4, which I love the original SX2. None have ever let me down in the inclement marsh environment, But last year I got the Browning Maxus Wicked Wing in 12Ga. This gun has Jumped to my Fav, comes with shims, feels good in the hand with or without gloves, cycles extremely fast, has an improved loading system, and it Looks Great !!
Franchi’s are the only semi auto we use duck hunting. I have one going five years strong. I’m sure others are just as good but these affinities just plain work. My old a5 and 1100s are fun for clays. When the job gets dirty give me a pump or my franchi. Love the videos. Best shotgun channel period.
I totally agree, great review. You might wanna review the Fab Arm auto loader and the Yildiz (Perozzi, MX8) clone this year.
I am still trying to wear out my 1100 3 inch Mag from 1976 and it has done it all as I have several extra barrel for it.
Great review of all the shotguns. Without knowing what you shot id say it’s a very good list. CONGRATULATIONS ‼️👍👍
I’ve been looking at Retay recently. Good to see that you’re giving them good reviews.
I have 15k between 2 early A400 xtremes, before the enhanced controls, over 3/4 of those being dove/target loads. I can remember 1 shell in all of that that failed to eject on the last round. I just dumped the shell out. My only complaint would be the recoil pad deteriorating for some unknown reason, Beretta says bug spray but they have never been sprayed. Replaced with a limbsaver and they've been great since.
Bought my son, who just got into sporting clays, a left-handed a400 xplor. He loves it
I bought a new Franchi Affinity 3 in 12 gauge after watching your review. I paid $1,000. Later I bought a used A400 with the all blue receiver for $1,100. I think both are very good for sporting clays. The A400 feels better built but that Franchi will surely get the job done. Thank you so much for all the cool stuff you do for the sport.
Greate video!! Love your reviews. I have suggested this before as well. Please mention the country of manufacture when reviewing or comparing. Manufacturing/Engineering/design/QA/QC standards vary in different parts of the world and very important factors to be considered imo.
Good show , love my SA 410 and my element 20. Another one of mine on the list was Affinity 3 - 12 , have used it on clays and ducks . Easy clean and shoot
Really wanna see a review of fabarm's 12 gauge L4S semi-auto
Surprised to not find a Browning on the list. I own an A5 Wicked Wing and love it..!
I have a retay masai mara and originally I loved it! For me it fit so well and was incredibly accurate out of the box. Unfortunately that went down hill very quickly. It would jam so bad that I had to pull the entire gun apart to clear it. I will give Retay credit and say they stand behind their product. They overnighted me all new internals no questions asked. It seems to be working fine now but I have since got an A400 and it’s hard to pass up taking that out to the duck blind.
I bought myself the 940 JM pro for Christmas and man is it a fun gun. Love the 24” barrel. About 100 rounds through it and no jams
Just got one yesterday
What made you choose this over an m2 or 1301?
I bought the 940 jm pro. I have 0 complaints about it. Its smooth, reliable and fun to shot. I also have a 590m mossberg. Its a fun magazine fed shotgun. You can never go wrong with a mossberg. I would trust my life with them if needed.
Love your videos. Do you ever look at combat/tactical shotguns? Thanks and Semper Fi.
I've had the A400 Multi Target for a year, only use it for sporting in the UK. I agree with you its the best, why? coz I own one :O bought 2nd hand probably the best option regarding cost. It's a tool for sure. The Beretta chokes are really good, the modified half choke, its magical I swear! it can hit 10 yard or 60 yard. Recoil is so low. Best part of it? adjustability, worst parts of it? that spring noise when shot. Would I let it go? no, no way.
The most innovative shotgun of 2023 for me was the Winchester SX4 LEFT hand. Maybe that was out in 2022. But as a left handed shooter and now mature with a bit more means I no longer try to adapt to right handed guns. (With some notable exceptions.)
Excellent video Steve.
Great video! Still love my old SX3
Absolutely love my A400 extreme plus. Hands down the best waterfowl shotgun and I don’t thing anything else even comes close. Especially since I mostly hunt sea duck.
I completely agree! What is your choke of choice?
@@derrtyd750 I’ve had a great season using my factory modified. Most steel loads I’ve tested pattern around 65-70% pattern density in a 30” circle at 40 yards. I consider that about the max effective range for the #3 and #4 steel shot that I use. I could probably even open up my pattern a bit more with the factory improved cylinder choke without sacrificing any range. I just haven’t tried it yet since I’ve been doing so well with the mod choke.
I've had 2 rem 1100s for over 40 years nothing else
All time favorite is a 1970’s SuperX Model 1. You had to buy barrels with different chokes.
Favorite waterfowl gun. Browning Auto 5 Magnum.
Great video! You can upload a Beretta A400 Extreme Plus by pulling away on the bolt release too
On waterfowl shotguns your one and two are spot on!!
Hey Steve You Should Reveiw The Girsan MC12, One Heck Of A Gun Love It
Would definitely like to see you do a review on the Girsan MC 312.
Many of us use shotgun for deer hunting as well as waterfowl. Would love to see a review of pumps and semi autos with the factory smooth bore.
I added a red dot sight to my A300 Beretta and it's accurate out to 100 yds with Mili slugs. I have 3 different smooth bore chokes to cover other applications
Hey Steve I’ve been trying to get ahold of you!
Anyway I bought a CZ 1012 on your recommendation. Well I want to get a Carlson’s choke because you recommended them and had one for your 1012. Anyway they said they don’t carry chokes for the 1012 did you use a beretta optima hp choke? Anyway thank you for your time!
Somewhat surprised neither the gas or inertia Browning Shotguns made the list. Can you do a review on them ? Unless you already have. Thank you.
Btw the "bolt close" feature on inertia Shotguns. Both Browning and Berreta / Benili. Already addressed that issue.
Thank you
All your picks were good picks but if you want to try a gun that will surprise you test the tri star autos for around 400 bucks it's amazing how reliable they perform
I agree mossberg 940 pro and its on my list to buy
I'm hunting chukar in NV which is the toughest game bird to hunt in the country. We're walking 6-10 miles a day and gaining 2-3k' of elevation. Weight is key. Reliability is key. shoot ability is imperative because it sucks to work your ass off just to miss. I shoot the Benelli Ethos Sport and I don't think there's a better or more aesthetic gun out there.
You should do reviews over the SAUER SL5 WATERFOWL and the Otus SMX12
I never agree with these comparison videos unless the best overall shotgun is the one I bought! I completely agree with the results of this comparison :p
Will you do a review on a Impala Plus? Inertia gun made in Turkey that's fairly priced.
Please can you remake a video on the patterning shotguns with the company original chokes to be fairely considered
Happy holidays
Can you review the Girsan MC312 3” model? I’ve been eyeing that one along with the Weatherby Element and the CZ 1012 and I’d love to compare your reviews of all 3 side by side if you review the Girsan.
Thanks
I bought a 940 pro waterfowl for Christmas this year first trip to the duck blind had about 15 light primer strikes. Sent it in to be fixed Mossberg replaced the barrel assembly and the trigger assembly and sent it back. Took it hunting again and had 4 more light strikes during the hunt.
Mossbergs quality control has been an issue for a long time. I bought a couple many years ago. First one had multiple issues the second was a different model it was even worse. Both pumps. Get a Benelli or Berreta or possibly a SX4.
Never been a fan off mossberg myself, anything halfway affordable say the patriot rifles, nobody can get them to group worth a damn and there's plenty of proof on TH-cam to prove it, I've personally seen 2 with my own eyes do this and heard of a lot more from friends who have them, but then to see this on there shotguns... attention mossberg stop trying to keep up with the Jones and make the things you already have out work decent, I'm aware there mostly pretty affordable but geez it it doesn't group or won't fire reliably every time clean I will not own it, alright rant over
@@Allsznhunter your rant is spot on though. A buddy bought a patriot for a bear hunt. I helped him zero it in and I used to shoot and reload rifles a lot. 2 brands of ammo 6” was the best group. I was the guy that bought guns for our DU chapter years ago. Would buy 60-70 long guns a year. Bought quite a few Mossbergs because they were cheap. Wow so many came defective some wouldn’t even fire. And fit and finish was terrible. So when I hear how great Mossbergs are Im very skeptical. There had my own rant.
@@kross1261 yours would be very correct as well, I keep my rifles with a thin layer of Vaseline during the off season and those patriots will still wanna rust, so I'm like you very skeptical about any mossberg, rifle or shotgun, I'll stick with my Sx4
Good content
Disappointed to not see an A300, SBE3 or Browning...
For waterfowl I like the stoeger 3500.
Like to see you do a video on the Remington model 11. None better.
I'm surprised the Browning Sweet 16 didn't make your list for upland after your previous glowing review. At 5lb 12oz it's an easy carry & functions wonderfully. Why the overlook?
Probably because it's 16 gauge
Awesome video! I’m brand new to clay shooting. Concerning the least amount of recoil, is the Mossberg 940 Pro (I saw a tactical for sale) or SKB RS300 a better option?
I own the original maxus for the past 8 years with hard waterfowl use and I would trade it for anything it’s a amazing gun after I bought it 3 more guys I hunt with bought it and they all said the same thing. Looking to get the maxus 2 soon to put the original in retirement and special hunts.
Good video 👍👍
I would love to see a 1301 comp 24" review
How would the 940 compare to the a300 ultima? Looking for a new duck and clay gun.
You need to review Fabarm semi auto shotguns they are high quality and fairly expensive. They are gaining in popularity
So I’m going to throw this out there for the waterfowl category.
The browning maxus 2 wicked wing or the browning a5 wicked wing. I have shot both and I own the maxus 2. It’s light, low recoil and never misses a beat.
He liked the maxus better in the showdown but somehow beretta is #1 waterfowl gun on this list.
@@garrettrowe7917 yup I get the a400 is an awesome gun, but the maxus is literally on the same level. I don’t think a mossberg is on par with either
Great review! Thought I'd see the Maxus 2 in there somewhere though... 😎
I like the Maxus 2 a lot. That’s the thing with a best of list, we can’t put every shotgun we like on there.
Would love to see more cz reviews
I've been seeing things about otus. Is there a way to get your hands on one?
I've got good old browning Belgium A5 was my dad's great shooting shotgun what do you think of them ?
People have been complaining about a feeding problem with the 940 jm pro - are you aware of the problem? What has been the fix?
Solid list on all categories. I was hoping the new M2 would land on there somewhere. But I’m just biased. lol.
Agreed. My M2 has served me well hunting wood duck, dove, and crow.
Hey, I have recently been using the Benelli supersport for competition clay shooting, and i have really liked it. I feel like it is a faster gun and can be used in all 3 main disciplines. You should try it out sometime!
I’d like to see you review the impala Plus shotgun.
And compare it to like Retay Gordion and the weatherby element!
Yes please review the impala plus
The number 1 spot for clay shooting could’ve gone to the Remington 1100 competition but it’s not available anywhere and not well known so probably can’t qualify 😂. I personally had the gun as my first gun and I love the thing.
Interesting findings, just goes to show how different things matter more to different people. I've used the A400 Extrema and the Browning Maxus II for waterfowl last 2 seasons but preferred the Browning due to controls. The Beretta is amazing but for me the Browning was the better gun.
Same!
I agree, he had the maxus II beat out the Beretta a400 and the sbe3 in the Shotgun show down but lose to the Beretta in this video. Rather suspicious if ya ask me lol
The best shotgun is the one that shoots every load tight and those are usually browning guns from Belgium.
I love my remingtons 1100s 11 87s both older browning A5s even the Belgium love the older 11 87 and 1100 love the 2000s 1100 and 11 87 lets see a video on those please i agree with the other guys who have commented to see this shown havent got my hands on any newly released shotgun but a few are on my list to check out and see if it replaces my go to 11 87
You need to review a Browning Gold 10ga, or another 10ga offering.
100% agree with the number one waterfowl gun.
Please do a review on a fabarm xlr5 waterfowler and Chesapeake. Thanks.
I was looking hard at the Retay shotguns but then I read a few reviews of cycling issues. One individual had the Retay U.S.A. work on it but after their spring change didn’t fix it they wouldn’t do anything more for the owner. That really concerned me & I decided against the gun, I have enough things that break or fail in my life (ie old collector cars) that having a new gun with issues wasn’t one I wanted to deal with. If they get it figured out or Retay U.S.A. stands behind the guns better, then I’d likely buy it.
I have an a400 upland and don't care for the feel of it. I shoot it well but the feel and balance aren't as good to me as my AL 391s I've shot many of the new shotguns, A300, A400 excel, TriStar, Winchester etc. I'll still take the AL391 for clays and birds.
Would've really liked to see a review of the Fabarms L4S
You need to test out the Franchi 48al 20 gauge it’s insanely light and a great upland gun
I have that same gun! It was given to me by a friend whose dad had acquired it from one of his old buddies that had passed away. The gun is in rough shape, and the firing pin was broken. I looked for a while, and it took about a year before I finally found a firing pin. You are right! It’s recoil operated and very light👍🏼
Could you review the escort PS youth 22 inch barrel in 20 gauge Please.
I got the a400 xcel sporting for clays. Usually get 90 or so out of 100 with it in tournaments.
Before i knew about fit and length of pull i just went and got an a400 xtream plus. It didn’t fit me very well but i got a 2 inch extended choke bringing the barrel out to 28 and i can hit 80-85 clays with it. When i go shooting clays and bring a friend without a shotty i let them shoot the xtream plus and they love it.
I also got the jm 940pro for my once a month 3 gun match. That thing gets down with a shot clock. I put an aftermarket tube extension on it to give it 11+1. I challenge anyone to do a 11+1 00 buck shot mag dump on it.
I Really enjoy my A400 Xcel for clays, I thought about getting a A300 Ultima patrol or 1301 for house defense/ 3 gun. I have had great experience with Beretta, and feel the Gas system and similar controls would be the advantage compared to a JM 940 Pro, whats your thoughts?
The Remington v3 is in fact a great shotgun. Very reliable and easy to breakdown and clean
I've been shooting the Remington walnut 28" V3 with a Star Dot ported choke for sporting clays for about 6 months now. It is a very affordable gun. I've been shooting an 870 forever and the V3 points just like an 870. It's a very soft shooting gun with it's proprietary gas system in the receiver and forend rather than a gas piston extending into the gun stock. Because of this, you can modify the stock to have an adjustable comb....which I'm contemplating. I just wish that there was more aftermarket parts available for customization. I still love it!
Can you do a review on franchi affinity 3 sport?
Hello could you maybe do a review of the Remington versa max please
Damn i want that mossberg bit the snowgooses versions
would you please do one for beginners,
Todas muy hermosas armas amigos saludos elegante belleza armas
Stoger m3500 and happy with it
I wanted to get into shotgun sports. There is a local club that has trap and sporting clays events that is near my house. I wanted to get an all-purpose shotgun and since I didn't think I would be quick enough with a pump shotgun I started looking at semi-automatic shotguns. After seeing the reviews and hearing from a popular source that the Mossberg 940 Pro was the best shotgun for the money for someone on a budget, and an all-around great all-purpose shotgun at any price, I got a Mossberg 940 Pro. I didn't want to dump thousands of dollars into something if I wasn't even sure I was going to like the sport once I got in it. WOW. I am very impressed. This shotgun has done everything I have asked it to do. Now I don't have a lot of experience with shotguns and I haven't shot clays with any shotgun other than this one, but when I asked some of the experienced shooters at the range to tell me what they thought of my purchase, they all said the same thing. I would not be disappointed with this shotgun. I put the shims in it to fit it to my size and shooting it feels very natural and I didn't have to spend any extra money to get what I needed to make the shotgun fit me. I am sure that if I had thousands of dollars to spend on a more expensive shotgun, I may be able to find something that works better for me, but after seeing this shotgun come in number 2 on this review for all-purpose shotguns, and the fact that I don't have over $3000 to buy the one that came in number one, I can't say enough about my experience with this shotgun. The first clay I ever shot at, I shot at with this shotgun and it was a hit.
I would like it if you added a category for big game hunting since many like to use Shotguns for deer, bear, etc. And some very few people like myself can only use Shotguns for hunting (Japan. I have to wait 10 years to buy a rifle).
Are the CZ 1012 and Wetherby Element good for deer and rabbit hunting?
can someone please help me out? i’m getting my first shotgun and i’m split between the stoeger m3000 and the cz1012. i’ve don’t research on both and i like both of them. can someone please help?
What do you think of the ultima patrol ?
For most versatile, you named the Mossberg 940 Pro. My only problem with that pick is it only comes in 12 gauge.
Can you do a review on gforce hunting shotguns.
Any TFL videos on the best semi-auto shotguns for the lefties? If not, would love your opinion on this topic...
Can you do a review on a gforce one hunting shotgun looks likes a sbe3 clone
Thinking about buying a sx4 for next duck season ive heard great things about it at a good price.
V3 has less recoil with 1 1/4 loads than the sx4 with 1oz loads. Four people shot my sx4 during a sporting clays shoot and all mentioned how much it kicked.
