    This followed me home

    I went to the sporting goods store and this Benelli Ethos 20 gauge followed me home.

    Mighty purty shootin' iron ya' gots there! I sold off almost all my guns after my "near death" experience years ago and one of the guns I miss sometimes is my Ruger Red Label 20 ga. (I had the same gun in a 12 ga also).

    I have always like the Red Labels, I have a Browning Citori O/U that is really nice but it’s pretty heavy. This new Benelli is 5# 6oz’s.

    As far as a semi-auto shotgun goes I'm not sure they make a better one than Benelli. Their SBEs are so versatile chambered at 2 3/4 all the way to 3 1/2. I've used mine to hunt everything from Coyotes to Quail.

    That’s a pretty scatter gun.

    I like that wood stock too. I’m kind of tired of composites.

    Yeah, the composites certainly have a place in the duck blind but when walking behind good dogs in a milo or cut corn field it almost has to be a nice wood stock. This thing is 5#7oz, it handles amazingly well.

    Benelli's are nice shotguns. Great looking gun.

    I agree with hombre, an auto 20 is probably capable of doing it all. And comfortably.

    That sure is a beautiful example there. 😊
