Title says it all... VOTE!
Up until 2006, the Duck Commanders used/promoted Browning's.The Duck Commanders use Mossberg's now so they must be better than Remington's. They used Benelli's before that???????????
There are gas, short-recoil, long-recoil, and inertia operated semi-auto shotguns. Benelli is inertia driven. Cracked forends can be attributed to improper installation and swelling of wood from inclement conditions. I haven't seen a Benelli forend crack, just the old Auto5's, which had a tendency to crack if you tightened the forend nut too tight.Like the top tang safety on the Mossberg way better than the safety position of the Remington, so my vote goes for Mossberg.
And for everyone screaming Benelli, I have a question for you... How come every Benelli (or other inertia-driven auto) I see with nice sexy wood has a crack on the forend/stock?
