Dang, that is a tough question KT.

Like you, I have a Beretta that I really like to shoot. It cleans up on clays and doves, but it is the 391 Teknys Gold and it cost me more than my Benelli SBE cost. Then again, the 391 was bought two years ago and the Benelli was bought 8 years ago, so inflation might have something to do with it.

Now, I also love my SBE, but don't use it to shoot clays because it doesn't cycle the light loads all the time. Hence, the SBE for most hunting and the 391 for clays.

With all that said, I still own a couple of Beretta 682's that I like and I really like to shoot the o/u's. Problem I have had with using them on sporting clays is the recoil from so many rounds. Hence, the use of the 391, which I have recorded better scores with anyway.

I still use the 682's for trap and skeet though.

There are a couple of other guns I have, but if I had to pick just one gun out of my safe as the only gun I could shoot for the rest of my life, it would probably be the 391, followed closely by the SBE.
