If I were to buy new (which I wouldn't) I'd get a Benelli Legacy. I fear change so I'm partial to only two semi-auto shotguns; The Browning Automatic 5 shot (Belgium made 2 3/4") and The Remington Sportsman Model 58 (in 2 3/4). These guns work-period. They look great in there own way. And no matter what anybody says, 2 3/4" even with steel works! These semis were designed to cycle 2 3/4" from the beginning. They're affordable and they made lots of them. That and any gun in camo or black plastic looks and feels like the one made by Mattel you got for christmas in the 70's. JMO. IHC.
