New Semi Auto 12 gauge

I have a sx4 I use for ducks geese etc, and a a300 for turkey. the 300 is heavier I think (not weighed but sure feels like its heavier). Ive never had a single issue with either gun and both are great. I LOVED the 1100 back in the day, but both are light years ahead of it. pick whichever fits best and go shoot. I will say, for me, I bought a browning gold a few years ago an 1. could not hit a thing with it and 2. the safety was in the front of the trigger guard. I never could get that thing off easily. I grew up shooting thousands of rounds thru my 1100 with the safety in the back and thats where my mind and finger went to. just some food for thought. both the guns you have listed have the safety where it should be lol.

Funny about the browning gold. I bought a 20 ga about 18 years ago. It was the nicest single shot I have ever seen. No matter what load I put through it, it would fail to cycle 1 in maybe 25 rounds. Had 2 gun shops say they could fix it and neither could.
 
my 10 guage ran like a sewing machine. never had a hiccup as far a cycling. but man, that safety SUCKED and I could not hit a thing with it. I assume it was just different that the 1100 as far as where to point. I learned a good lesson. with my sx4 I shoot lights out an it feels like the 1100, cant say that bout the 300 but its for turkeys and I havnt shot a box thru it yet. It is very very nice tho
 
Both are great choices. I’d go and see which one fits you best and feels better when you mount the gun. Both actions are super reliable.
