Been having some fun lately at Lehigh Valley Sporting Clays and it's time to "upgrade"... I know I want 12 gauge and semi-auto even with some of the benefits of a good O/U.

Looking at the 3 B's.. Beretta, Benelli and Browning. I was originally leaning towards the Benelli's but find myself more interested in the Beretta (specifically the Beretta A400 Xcel Multitarget 30" KO) due to the gas system and lower recoil. Price-wise I'm okay with spending a little extra to get the right thing the first time out.

ANYWAY, that's my research so far. Any other shorting clay shooters out there want to throw in their opinion?
