You will never regret buying a Benelli or a Beretta. Every aspect of ownership is better, including long-term reliability, parts availability, and future resale value. There is a lot to be said for buying once and avoiding the endless cycle of warranty claims or “upgrading” from one sub-$1,000 semi-auto to the next. Save yourself the headaches, troubleshooting, and wasted time that often comes with cheap clone guns. That’s time and energy you could be spending at the range or with friends and family instead. I can’t stress this enough. Over the last ten years I’ve owned roughly ten different 12-gauge shotguns, including Browning (both Belgian and Japanese-made), Winchester (American and Japanese-made), Canuck, Weatherby, Remington, Benelli, Beretta, and Mossberg. The only ones I kept: Benelli SBE3

Remington Versa Max

Beretta 1301 Side note: the Remington Versa Max is criminally underrated. The V3 is a more refined shotgun in many respects and is still in production, but it cannot accommodate 3.5” shells. In the Canadian market, that reduces overall magazine capacity compared to the Versa Max, if that sort of thing matters to you.
