Who is now making a 10 gauge semi? I am thinking of getting one in December when I am home and need some input.

Browning and remington! These still make 10GA semis new,. In used semis you get the Ithaca mag ten in the mix as well. the Remington SP10 is a ithaca mag ten derivative.
I have had all three and i liked the Mag ten the best.
The older steel reciever tens by browning i personaly liked more than the newer aloy reciecer Golds of today.

Have the Brownings in steel and alloy receiver models, get the 26" barrel - trust me. The long receiver makes it an unwieldy shotgun with anything longer than a 26" barrel, have a 30" barrel on one and it swings like a phone pole. Not real good for geese, but it worked for 5-6 years of 40+ geese per. Still going strong.
Always grab the Gold Lite (aluminum alloy receiver) maybe a pound lighter, recoils a little more ( I think )
Never use my Extrema, and haven't put a 3 1/2" shell in my like chambered 686 in years. The real problem with 10ga shotguns, for me anyways, is after you get one the turkeys try and get within 10 yards and the geese land at your feet. Again, trust me on this:evil:
I like my Brownings, they hold five slugs ( if you needed it)_ you don't need a plug for a remy, it wouldn't have anyplace to fit.

Had to add, better get into reloading steel with a mec single stage, it'll pay for itself in about a season of goose hunting.

I have a Remmie SP-10. Got a 24# turkey this spring at 50+ yards. Hevi-Shot is THE program.

Less recoil than I would expect. Heavy to carry.
