I've been researching a ton to try and find what I want as my first shotgun for clays. IMO what I've found is that a lot of British or overseas shooters praise and love Benelli, but here in the states berettas seem to get the nod for semis usually due to better recoil. Is my assumption true? Why is this? Not that I've seen overseas shooters talking down on beretta semis they just seem to LOVE Benelli.
