Don't have much experience with the Benelli and have a few friends that have Berettas and they handle nice and have been good guns . However I'm somewhat like 260RG. and have shot a Remington 1100 for years w/o issue. There are 2 things that sort of concern me about the Beretta and in one case benelli. There's something about the alloy receivers that once they begin to accumulae wear and scratches just look really bad and are tuff to address. The other thing as to the Beretta is their penchant to reintroduce new models every 5 years. The down side is eventually parts dry up. I have a very nice Beretta o/u from the 1970s that is a very nice gun but once something breaks it's done. My 70s vintage 1100 and870 would be good to go. Luckily all of these guns are pretty reliable so unless you are a competitive shooter that buys shells in pallets you are probably going to be ok.
