Them 2 shot guns are really kinda unhandy in a pit...other types of blinds too. Have had some failures to feed and failures to eject...mostly with 3 1/2 inch shells. Cold weather slowdowns also. Know ya don't get too much cold there in Kalipornia but most cold weather probs were at 20 or so and down. And i know how to make a gas gun work. Darn thing is bulky too. Like most Berettas. Manellis always work and they are a bit more streamlined than the Extrema. Just my opinion...but after guiding dem waterfowlers all dem years..Ya want a gun that will work....and I used 1100s and 11-87s most of the time and had ERY few failures to work due to cold or anything to be honest. Course I knew how to make a gas gun work
Hard to shoot them large tolls with a 2 shot shotgun. On snows I have been known to load 5...years ago... in my outlaw days ya know!!
