[QUOTE="SumTingWong, post: 1797381, member: 110341"] I've been going down the rabbit hole researching, and am slightly farther along than I was. I'm set on 12 ga, and 26 to 28". I'm leaning toward gas, but would love to shoot an SBE for comparison. Thanks (tierradelmundo) for the list, which are some of what I've been considering. Price range, I don't want to go more than an SBE, but am looking at other end of spectrum. Others I'm considering: Retay Masai Mara Mossberg 930 Beretta A300 I realize the price spectrum is wide, but I have few options for trying before buying here. Two questions, that will most likely show my "noobness,": 1) I've seen some actions that accommodate a fixed shell size, like the 3" Masai Mara, and I've seen others that accommodate multiple, using the shell size to dictate gas compensation. What are the advantages of each? 2) I will need to shoot light loads for dove. If possible, I'd like to be able do a little turkey as well. I know a one size fits all may not excel at one particular, but I do want an autoloader. That being said, of all the choices listed, are any more adept at cycling with lighter loads? I don't want to have a crappy dove experience for the sake of wanting to shoot turkey. [/QUOTE]
