If you want forty yard performance and light recoil with factory loads, investigate .410 TSS loads from Browning.




"Benelli click" is a figment of your imagination. It's not a condition caused by design failure. It's caused completely by ooeator error



The franchi is a far superior gun to anything Remington has ever designed and built


Don't be ridiculous. It can happen just setting it down against a tree. I've done it with a Franchi. Upgrade the gun with a heavier spring and it won't happen. It's not worth spouting nonsense over when you can easily and cheaply prevent it.


If you're putting a gun down hard enough to knock it out of battery you're not simply "setting" it. Benelli click is completely caused by the operator. My SBE2 has probably close to 6000 rounds through it almost all of that 3 and 3.5 inch Steel. The only time it has ever come out of battery is when I've done it by easing the bolt back to check to see if there was a shell in the chamber. That gun lives in swamps, boats and blinds of all kinds it's never even heard of gentiel treatment
