Anyone got experience with it?
What little I can find on the web sound excellent. But it might all be marketing hype.
A few things I like: It's a semi (yes, I'm still lazy). It's a Benelli, which (if the quality of their shotguns carries over) means that it's probably an excellent machine. You can get two barrels (for example the .30-06 and the .300 Win Mag), and have two guns for a little more than the price of one, and the training from one carries over to the other. And it looks really good.
Disadvantages: Can't get it with a synthetic stock (which is ugly but practical). It might not feed reliably with really light loads (like the .30-06 125 grain, that's sort of useful for vermin like coyote, because any heavier load will make mince meat out of targets like that). Quite expensive. No idea how accurate it is.
Discussion please. For a person who would own only one big rifle, and use it for everything from racoon and coyote to the occasional small deer (and mostly for practice and target shooting), might this be a nice combination machine?
