Looking at Franchi I-12

[gastch]

I'm thinking on getting a semi 12 ga this spring and am looking at a few different options. I debating on the Mossberg 935,Stoeger 2000, and the Franchi I-12. I've pretty sure I don't really need the 3-1/2" chamber, but if I do the 935 looks like the ticket. I really like the idea of the inertia system. This brings in the Stoeger and the Franchi as the Benelli is out of my price range ($1000). I've heard good and a few bad things about the Stoeger and not really anything on the Franchi. What are your thoughts? Any other suggestions? And any prices in canada on the I-12?

Thanks
Chris

There is an excellent write up on the I-12 in the latest issue of Outdoor Life. They really liked it' Thinking of one myself.

For the $$$ I think the stoeger is the way to go. I'm getting one myself. Next week I hope. I have a mossy 935 great hunting gun. I've never had a single hang up with it. The only thing is it's primairly a hunting gun. It won't cycle
2 3/4 shells. If you only plan on only hunting it's a good choice.
