Re: Semi Auto Shotgun Suggestion

I don’t really have any knowledge of the ones on your list, but I do own a Benelli Silver Black Eagle II, and it has been mostly problem free. The only issue I’ve had with it is that it sometimes tries to feed two shells simultaneously from the magazine, causing a jam above the lifter consisting of two shells stuck there, end to end. It only seems to do this with 2-3/4” shells in #7-1/2 or #8 birdshot/practice loads. I think those 2-3/4” light loads just don’t have enough grunt to cycle the action with authority. I have been told that this is not uncommon with SBE II’s, and that the solution is to use 3” shells.

Other than that, with proper ammo it runs very smoothly and it’s built like a bank vault. I have also considered the Mossberg 930 series of seamiauto shotguns.
