If I could afford a semi auto it's probably the one I'd get.

[Lavid2002]

Why?

[Jseime]

Look them up on youtube there are some great promo videos on there. Looks like a really nice shotty to me.

[Lavid2002]

Wow! Funny you should say literally I just returned fromt here right this instance! : D Great videos. Hows it for rust though. Mu shotgun is good with reliability and speed, but its made of bad metal, and is VERY hard to clean....

[Jseime]

I think in one of those videos they throw it in a slough for 30 some hours then take it out and shoot away.

[Doggieman]

those are some of teh best ad videos I've seen for a firearm.

[Lavid2002]

Hi Mate, this is my first post so I hope it helps.

I have an xtrema2 in black with KO and all I can say is it's fantastic!. I use it for everything, clays, birds or beasts and it performs faultlessly with anything i put down it (7/8oz, 1oz, 1 1/8oz, etc right up to 3 1/2" magnums no problem)

As I say the gun is excellent, but there are some minor 'niggles' (for me at least).

DON'T lose any of the five chokes supplied, I lost 1/4 choke which is the one I was using most and in Britain it is over £50 (around $100) to replace!!:eek:

LOP is a little short for me and Beretta UK do not import the spacer to lenthen pull even though it's listed on the parts list.:confused:
I'm currently trying to find someone in the US who will send me this part and some others that I want (not least of all a new 1/4 choke which is MUCH cheaper in the US. I will pay up front, just need someone to take delivery and send on to me in the UK) :D

Lastly I would comment on the synth stock. It is very good not to have to worry about getting it wet but I have marked it quite a lot by accidently rubbing it against the buckle of my ammo belt when carrying the gun. Because its plastic it gets 'scars' (can't think of a better word) which I have no idea how to remove or repair. I suppose the only up side is that bare plastic stocks seem very cheap (around $80) if I can find someone who will post to UK

Thats about it, I could carry on about the crisp trigger or the slimmed down fore end or the anti corrosion coating or the K/O system or the straight shooting etc. but it all been written about elsewhere and for me, it all works and therefore should not need comment.

I have been shooting for nearly fifteen years and have been lucky to shoot quite a few shotguns, semi's, O/U's and sbs and I can seriously say that for what I want, ie a do anything, honest, reliable, robust gun, I wouldn't change my xtrema2

Just my thoughts, I hope it helps
Cheers

Thanks pal! : D

My uncle has one that I've shot a bit. His has the KO recoil reducer. Fairly soft kick, and super reliable with all sorts of shells. Good shotgun.

[Doggieman]

nice to hear from shooters in the UK
