Which 3 gun semi auto shotguns are the most reliable?

[BeerBaron]

I run an SBEII
JB welded the notch to float 1
Bought a second barrel and had it shortened and threaded for screw in.
Mag tube to hold 5.9 3.5"ers. 7 plus 1 plus 1, 2 3/4's

Having the 1 extra has definitely won me a few rounds.

I don't see anyone else with one? Is the M2 that much better? (I've never had a problem with mine, but get that some people might have problems)
Or do you mean a 3.5 versamax?
I thought the SBEII was an easy choice over the M2, but don't see anyone else with one

We've had a few guys in Saskatoon run SBEII's... they definitely seem to have more ammo sensitivity/issues than the M2's, though if you have one that runs reliably for you I certainly wouldn't bother trading it. In my experience with other guys running SBEII's you have to be prepared to do a little more tuning to get them running than you do with an M2.

Does anyone shoot trap/skeet with the same semiauto shotgun they use in 3-gun, or is it a better idea to plan for two different guns?

I shoot trap/3 gun with the same gun,can post low 20's with it. Only because I'm too cheap/poor to grab a dedicated clay gun.

Totally... I've shot trap, skeet and sporting clays with my 3 gun'd benelli. Shot 70/100 at sporting clays a few weeks ago, and that's probably only the 5th or 6th time I've ever played the game. If I was more serious about it I would definitely consider a specialized shotgun for it... but I get out maybe once or twice a year for fun, so the 3 gun shotgun does just fine!

had a buddy use a Maverick 88 with extended mag tube. Used it for 3 years, zero problems,...and he was fast !
never underestimate the simple & inexpensive.
