Winchester Says:   Competitive shooting matches can heat up when the targets are tough, and you need all the gun you can get. The new Super X3 Sporting, with its lightweight, aluminum alloy receiver is as beautiful as it is strong. The barrel is configured in a lightweight profile with a ventilated rib and is ported to reduce muzzle jump. The proven Active Valve gas system with a new, unique sporting gas piston will reliably cycle all 2 3/4" loads from light to heavy. The Invector-Plus™ Choke System, partnered with precise .742" Back-Boring regulate the shot more efficiently than any other system. An adjustable comb stock and a Pachmayr® Decelerator® recoil pad help absorb felt recoil so you can shoot all day long. Its superb balance, quick shouldering, pointability and effortless swing become natural in your hands. No other sporting gun wraps such beauty and performance in one deluxe package. Receiver – Aluminum alloy. Barrel – Ventilated rib; Ported; Fiber-optic front sight; mid bead. Action – Gas operated with Active Valve System; 12 gauge, 2 3/4" chamber;.  Stock – Satin, walnut; Fully adjustable comb. Features – Chrome Plated chamber and bore; Five extended Signature Invector Plus™ choke tubes (LF,IM,M,IC,SK); Pachmayr® Decelerator® recoil pad; Molded red case included.  The magazine holds up to four, 2 3/4" shells depending on shell length.

Hero's Arms Says:   This SX3 should have the lightest recoil you can find in a 12 Gauge shotgun, with its gas operated action, reasonable weight, ported barrel and Pachmayr Decelerator recoil pad.  It actually comes with 6 choke tubes, 5 extended and one flush Modified choke you have to put in to get the barrel to fit into the case  The wood is very attractively figured, and the overall presentation very sleek.

HA1256 Beretta 3901 Target Reduced Length Semi-Auto Adjustable Comb, (Compact Adult/Youth) 12 Ga., 2 3/4" & 3", 28"MC Bbl., NIB, $995

For a full page of  photographs and a detailed description click the photo above or click here.

Beretta Says: The 3901 Target RL was designed from the ground up as the ideal first shotgun for youth. Developed in cooperation with the NRA Youth Program, Scholastic Clay Target Program, Boy Scouts of America and other organizations, this is a shotgun that grows with the young shooter. The semiautomatic allows the beginner to shoot a 12 gauge with the benefit of a gas operating system that reduces the felt recoil. It also features an adjustable length of pull from 12 to 13 inches and a specially designed shorter stock that’s adjustable for cast on/off. The stock comes equipped with Beretta’s Memory System II to adjust the parallel comb. Because of these attributes, the 3901 Target RL also makes the perfect shotgun for new shooters and smaller stature sportsmen, and women. The 3901 Target RL’s adjustable comb helps give you the competitive edge by allowing you to regulate your personal sight picture. The stock is also adjustable for cast on/off and comes equipped with Beretta’s patented Memory System II feature that lets you remove and replace the comb without losing your individual settings.

Hero's Arms Says:  We have added choke tubes to the package to make it suitable for more sports.  It now has Full, Improved Modified, Modified, Improved Cylinder and Skeet tubes.

HA1281 Benelli Montefeltro Left Handed Inertial-Semi-Auto, 12 Ga., 2 3/4" & 3", 28"MC Bbl., New-In-Case, $1.095

For a full page of  photographs and a detailed description click the photo above or click here.

Benelli Says:  Light, slender, and quick-pointing never described a semi-auto better than the Benelli Montefeltro 12-gauge shotgun. The Inertia Driven^® system in these Benelli shotguns requires no springs or gas cylinder under the forend. That allows the Montefeltro’s forend to be slim and graceful, while the lightweight, anodized aluminum receiver keeps weight to a minimum. The 12-gauge is chambered for 3" magnum loads, making the Montefeltro equally at home in New England woodcock cover and a Louisiana duck blind. This is one gun that looks as good as it shoots. Stocked with beautifully finished satin walnut, the Montefeltro is the gun for the wingshooting purist who wants the feel of a classic game gun with the added advantage of a semi-auto. The Montefeltro uses the Benelli Crio chokes that sit flush with the muzzle, available in F, IM, M, IC, and C.

Hero's Arms Says:  This Left Handed Montefeltro ejects to the left and the safety is pushed off from the left.  The stock can be adjusted to have Cast On for a left handed shooter by installing the included shims.

HA1328 Winchester Super X3 Walnut Field, Gas-Semi-Auto, 20 Ga., 2 3/4" & 3", 28" MC Bbl., NIB, $995

For a full page of  photographs and a detailed description click the photo above or click here.

Winchester Says: Bold looks and innovative features make the Winchester Super X3 Field a beautiful sight to behold and a force to reckon with. Weighing in at a scant 6 3/4 pounds — thanks to a weight-saving magazine tube and recoil spring system, slim barrel with a machined rib, and an alloy receiver, — the 3" chambered Super X3 Field has all the features you want in a field gun, or a sporting gun for that matter. The self-adjusting Active Valve gas system reduces recoil significantly more than recoil-operated systems and a proprietary next generation Pachmayr® Decelerator® recoil pad is fitted to further increase shooting comfort. Trim grip and forearm dimensions add to the lightweight, fast handling feeling. The .742" (.630" in 20 Ga.) Back-Bored Technology and Invector-Plus™ choke tube system work together to provide perfect patterns. A unique gunmetal grey Perma-Cote UT (Ultra Tough) surface finish is applied to external surfaces for extreme corrosion protection, and the bolt is plated with electroless nickel for added corrosion resistance. This is one shotgun you must experience to believe. Three choke tubes and two stock spacers for length of pull adjustments are included.

Hero's Arms Says:  This is an all around light twenty with reduced recoil that can be adapted to shooters of varying heights.  The gun comes with one spacer installed and a 14 1/4" Length of Pull, but 2 more can be installed to bring it to 14 3/4", or the installed one can be removed bringing it to 14".  The cast & drop shims can be installed between the stock and the receiver to suit individual preferences for cast on or cast off and drop.  It would be handy for most kinds of hunting, and for skeet or sporting clays.  It uses Invector Plus chokes which are widely available, and comes with tubes in Full, Modified, and Improved Cylinder.  It is made by FN in Belgium.

HA947 Browning Maxus Mossy Oak Duck Blind Camo, Gas-Semi-Auto, 12 Ga., 2 3/4", 3", & 3 1/2", 28"MC Bbl., $1,295

For a full page of  photographs and a detailed description click the photo above or click here.

Browning Says:  Description: Receiver - Strong, lightweight aluminum alloy. Barrel - Lightweight profile • Flat, ventilated rib. Action - Gas-operated autoloader • 3" and 3 1/2" chamber models • New Power Drive Gas System reduces recoil and cycles a wide range of loads.

Features - Vector Pro™ lengthened forcing cone • Three Invector-Plus™ choke tubes • Inflex Technology recoil pad • Lightning Trigger System • Magazine Cut-Off • Turnkey Magazine Plug.

Hero's Arms Says:  Gun Tests Magazine (December 2009) ranked the Maxus above their previous favorite the Benelli SBE II because it was easier to load, cycled everything from 2 3/4" 7/8 ounce shells to 3 1/2" 2 1/4 ounce loads, was easy to clean, and had several useful features.  There is no end cap on the magazine, the forearm pulls off after a lever is lifted, the magazine limiter plug comes out with a screwdriver or a car key, the magazine cut-off allows for quick switching of loads without emptying the gun.  It starts with a 14 1/8" Length of Pull and comes with two 1/4" spacers which would bring it to 14 5/8.  Additional spacers can be ordered and installed using longer screws.  It comes with a set of cast and drop spacers which an give it a 1/8" cast On or Off, and/or raise or lower the comb by 1/8".  This particular gun was purchased from Davidson's, so in addition to Browning standing behind their guns it comes with a Lifetime Replacement warranty from Davidson's.

HA915 Remington 1100 Sporting Gas-Semi-Auto, 12 Ga., 2 3/4", 28"MC Bbl., NIB, $945

For a full page of  photographs and a detailed description click the photo above or click here.

Remington Says:  The Model 1100 Sporting 12 provides timeless good looks in a light-recoiling sporting clays gun. It features a polished blue receiver and 28-inch light target contoured vent rib barrel with twin bead target sights. The American walnut stock and fore-end display cut checkering with a high-gloss finish and a sporting clays style recoil pad. The Model 1100 Sporting 12 also offers a gold-plated trigger, as well as four extended choke tubes: Skeet, Improved Cylinder, Light Modified and Modified.

Hero's Arms Says:  A gas operated semi-auto should provide the least felt recoil of the various systems, though there is a lot of subjectivity in this.  This is an all around gun, equally useful for hunting, sporting clays or skeet.  It comes with a two year warranty from Remington, and a Lifetime Replacement warranty from Davidson's.

HA750 Benelli Vinci Inertia Semi-Auto ComforTech, 12 Ga. 2 3/4" & 3", 28"MC Bbl., ANIC, $1,195

For a full page of  photographs and a detailed description click the photo above or click here.

I purchased this personally to try it out and was quite pleased, but I don't have any need for a 12 Gauge Semi-Auto so I'm selling it as Almost-New-In-Case. Its warranty has never been registered.  It has had about 50 shots, two rounds of skeet, fired through it.  There are scads of features but the ones I like are the ComforTech stock, the straight line recoil, the easy to clean Inertial action, and the modular design which will eventually allow for changing the stock and the magazine for different applications.  It comes with five Benelli Crio Chokes in Full, Improved Modified, Modified, Improved Cylinder and Cylinder constrictions.  The stock can be fitted with different combs and butt pads, and it has drop and cast spacers which can be used to adjust these measurements.  It takes a little practice to get it together and apart, and it is certainly unusual enough that you should, as I sometimes tell my wife,  RTFMD (Read The Fine Manual, Dear).
