I saved my moolah for several years, and bought a Benneli Super Black Eagle. It is a real sweet gun, and can handle form 2 3/4" to 3 1/2" loads. I use it for ducks, pheasants, huns, quail, geese, and Turkeys.

My all time favorite, and I'm going to own one some day, would be a Ruger Red Label over and under. Light as a feather, and two shots are more than enough in most instances. My father has a Browning Citori that is about 25 years old, and has only had a single box of shells run through it. That one would be a sweetie too.

Good luck in your choice of guns. It all comes down to personal preference. If they shoot and handle well, I don't care who makes them.
