am wanting to buy a new semi-auto 20 gauge that is light and has very little recoil. I need all the opinions i can get. Please give me all the info you have on these guns. I am considering getting the Benelli Montefeltro, the Farnchi 720, the Beretta AL391 Urika, the Browning Field hunter, the Franchi 48AL, and the Remington 1187. Which one is more reliable and which the best gun? Which has the least kick?

When in doubt, go with the one with the fewest moving parts (less to go wrong)......from your list I would choose the Benelli Montefeltro

But If you don't mind me making a suggestion, you might want to look at the Stoeger Model 2000. Its almost exactly the same as the Benelli but at half the price.

I don't have a Rem. 11-87, but my 20 ga. 1100 has given me 13 years of good use. Solid, reliable, USA made.

For a 20ga semi-auto, you CANNOT beat the value of a Saiga-20. Based on the highly reliable AK-100 action and offered in a classic sporter stock. Used to be they could be had below $200. Nowadays, $250 is a fair price. If the synth furniture, offends, I make wooden Saiga furniture.

Semi-auto?, listen to BRG. can't beat a AK. :nod:

Anyone that starts with a "B" in your list would be just fine. I also have a 1187 in 12 ga that I like pretty well. It does fine so long as you keep it clean (very).
