A little tidbit for the faithful in the last post, very easily missed...
I ended up springing (splurging or overextending maybe?) on the Benelli last week. I just could not fricken take it anymore. Credit cards do have a purpose you know. After a more careful inspection (in which I was surprised not to find demonic engravings due to the voices it had previously placed in my head), I have pronounced myself completely satiated. Yea though I slipped into female pattern shopping for this purchase, I shall fear no remorse, for it is the nicest gun in the valley. Amen.
It is true; I agonized, fretted, compared, drew out, exhausted, and generally complicated the process of getting this gun. Tactics, tactics, tactics. My wife eventually got sick of the process and just said "buy it already", which of course, was the overt permission and subliminal victory I had been seeking all along. How could I then let her down? I must say you have executed a brilliant maneuver on the marital battlefield when you place yourself in a position of having to buy something YOU want... to calm down your spouse. That is psy. ops. "total war", and complete victory all wrapped up in one. I should also add that I was once or twice the "enemy combatant" of my wife's juggernaut. To wit; the kayak that was going to be worn out before the warranty even expired...sitting since it's purchase, unwetted in the garage. The skull cracking career as a mountain bike racer complete with a NASA designed & approved Trek bike, now gathering dust alongside it's car carrier in the same den of unpursued activities. It's all good though. We both know when each other really wants something, and by and large, that is more important for harmony than the act itself. At least I think it is. Maybe that theory needs more testing...like with a boat trade or something.
I don't think so. Remember, there is a new gun in the house, and my wife knows how to shoot!

Damn, congratulations on the new Benelli!! I am waffling back and forth between my Winchester 101 and my Remington 1100SC for skeet and sporting clays at the moment and have been eyeballing the Benellis for a while...make sure to give us a range report!!
Here is the range report: This is one sweet scattergun.
Very light recoil (but still more than a good gas system), extremely responsive (maybe even a bit too quick), and loud as hell due to the porting. Be prepared for all the stares at the gun rack...Love that carbon fiber finish! Shot a 44 the first time out. Not to shabby for a new gun.
