New Semi Auto 12 gauge

[SCHUNTER73]

I find myself in a need/want situation for an upcoming trip to Saskatchewan for ducks and geese in October. I have an old REM 1100 that is great for dove and quail, but I want a new gun. I’m looking primarily at the A300 and Win sx4. I plan to head to my LGS to shoulder them for fit and feel, but was looking for real world experience for owners of both. Interweb reviews and YouTube calls it a toss up for the most part. Talk to me. I haven’t bought a new shotgun since 1995.

Those are both great guns, but I personally went with a Franchi Affinity, and couldn't be happier with it. It's been extremely reliable, but 95% of my satisfaction with it is just how well it shoots for me - and that's definitely an individual fitment thing. Definitely lift as many of the quality guns as you can, and see how well any given one points for you naturally.

I love my a300 outlander I’ve had for about 10 years. But it is definitely starting to breakdown now after years of hard hunting in saltwater and sand on the coast.

Take a look at the Browning Maxus II….love that gun.

Out of those two, a300. If looking at others beretta a400, benelli m2 and franchi affinity in that order. Haven’t shot a sbe3 or new browning.

I have shot different Beretta’s thru the years and shoot an A350 as my main duck / goose gun and I love it. I have looked hard at that Franchi Affinity. I think I may pick one of those up in 20ga.

A300 outlander has never let me down
