Brother has a Versamax and it's handled every shell type in any order we've thrown at it. Quality seems ok to me. The Sportman version doesn't come with the case or the grip inserts, but is $400 less

Yes, I am going to wait to get to Calgary to handle all the models to see what fits & feels the best. A little spooked about spending the $2000 it takes to get into the Beretta A400 or Benelli, at least until I see how much of a chance I get to get out and shoot it. I have heard a lot of great things about the Browing Line, with guns around the $1200 mark. But have heard that the Stoeger M3500 is a very well built gun as is the Franchi Affinity. If I end up shooting a great deal I can always trade up to an A400etc later. Doogie how do you like the Stoeger, and anyone have experience on these 2 guns?
