For what its worth. i bought my first semi ever this year half way through the a season, a Browning silver and put 2 cases through it and never had a single issue
I haven't shot near as much as most of the legends but I've learned a few things over the years, all guns will have problems, the ones with the most moving parts will have more than guns with less! Pretty simple concept really, autos will give ya more grief than pumps and pumps more than break actions! I switched to an auto for punt shooting about 5 years ago and have had a couple problems whereas I shot 870's for about 35 years and rarely had a problem. K
There are used browning, beretta's and benelli's on gunnutz everyday or wk, confirm your price point and buy one. You'll probably be happy with what ever you end up with.
If your a warranty kind of guy buy a new one, but i have found most shops are hesitant to help you once its been fired!
There was a good looking camo 391 Xtreema II on there a week or so ago for $1200. Better gun than the A400 with a few more 'options' than the A300, I would have grabbed it if I was looking for another Waterfowl gun

Foxton's Cuervo Gold "KEELA" Oct. 2004-June 2017. Always in my blind and my heart.
I seen it I think it sold. The guy originally wanted $1700 if it is the one I am thinking. Still a dollar short yet.
Just dont rush, watch prices for a while, get a feeling for a fair average used price and offer accordinly. Some ppl think they are selling gold but some are!
If there's less then a case of trap threw a gun it will still be like new! Minus tax's to a couple hundred buck if fair for next to new.
Older beat up guns you got to get a feel for.
I am in no hurry. I have some side jobs that will go towards it hopefully in a couple months I will have my poop in a group.
i shoot an older 11-87 Remie and have put thousands of rounds threw it with out a problem. Not sure about the new onea
s but pretty happy with what I have.
