Shoot a Beretta Gold Sporting 391 for sporting clays, love it and use the SBEII for everything else. Hate the Xtrema for the duck hunting that i do. I have shot both and the beretta is just more bulky and not as easy to maneuver in a layout blind. People talk about how bad the SBEII kicks but, I really dont feel it. Im 6' 185 and listening to people that are 250 plus saying it kicks like a mule raises alot of questions....maybe im missing something?
