That is a good looking shotgun, kind of looks like a Browning Gold. I have never owned a Benelli, though I have considerd them a couple of times. As far as 20 guage goes...........I have one 20 ga that I use for grouse hunting. Full choke with number 4's or 5's, makes for good head shots. I dont use it for anything else because of similar experiences to seastrike.
