The Browning Gold and Winchester X2 are practically the same gun, not the Remington and the Winchester.
Skeet likes to say that the Berettas and Brownings are over priced, but I guess you can say the same thing about Ferraris. The Ferrari gets you from A to B just like a Taurus would, and they might just last the same length of miles, so why is the Ferrari that much more expensive and why are people willing to pay for them. The simple law of supply and demand would cut Beretta and Benelli's price down if they weren't worth it. However, there reputation must have something to do with it. Same goes for the Remington. Why is that gun so cheap? Because it isn't worth as much as a Benelli or Beretta (i.e., very few hunters are out there swearing by their 11-87).
My SBE has lasted me 8 seasons now, and I even use it for deer hunting. I already feel as though I got my money's worth out of the gun.
