Beretta A400 vs Browning Maxus for sporting clays - can't decide!
I've been shooting a Mossberg 500 for about 2 years and want to upgrade to a semi-auto for sporting clays. I'm torn between the Beretta A400 Xcel and Browning Maxus Sporting. I shoot about 100 shells a week, mostly 1-1/8 oz target loads. Which one would handle better for a full round of 100 targets?

I've owned both - shot the Maxus for 3 years before switching to an A400 Xcel. The A400's kick-off system really makes a difference on those long days when you're shooting 100+ targets. The Maxus is a bit lighter and swings quicker, but the A400's recoil reduction lets you stay on target better through stations 4-8 where you get those long crossing shots. Honestly, you can't go wrong with either, but try to shoulder both at a shop - which one fits you better? What's your current LOP on that Mossberg?
