[QUOTE="tpe187, post: 2905854, member: 127629"] I have an M2 20ga, SBE3, Beretta A400 Lite, and Beretta A400 Xtreme plus. The M2 are known for the "benelli click" which is if the bolt gets knocked back a bit, it's out of battery and you won't know it. That was fixed with the SBE3s but Benelli insists on patterning high for that model and it's the most common complaint. Some are 100% high. Mine is 60/40. That doesn't matter as long as you set up the shims so that when you mount it, it will point a bit low. You'll need to verify on a pattern board and some practice on skeet crossers. Where it will come into play is if you plan to use it for Turkey with the bead. If red dot, no issues. The benellis feel the best in my hands, and kick a little harder but not noticeable in hunting conditions. The A400 lite swings like the benelli. The A400 Xtreme is a boat, but a smoother swing with the weight and recoil is nothing even when shooting the big stuff. Oh, and I see no need for 3.5", especially if using bismuth waterfowl loads. Good luck on the water this year! [/QUOTE]
