The people here on this site always give good sound advice.
I am looking at buying a new shotgun. I have two in my sights.
Brand new Benelli SBE I (not the SBEII) it has been in the store for who knows how long. I have them talked down to $899.99. (wood stalk and forearm)
Brand new Winchester Super X3 999.99 (composite stalk and forearm)
The Benelli has a small crack in the forearm, which can be immediatly sent in for warranty replacement. It also has some scuffs/maybe scratches in the barrell that will not be repaired with the warranty. I am leaning towards the Benelli b/c it fits me better, however both can be adjusted via shims. This is a big decision for me, the gun will have to last for at least 15 years. I will be using it primarily as my waterfowl hunting gun, and maybe spring trap league.
What would y'all do?
