Hey guys. I'm new to the boards and I'm looking to get a new waterfowl gun. I currently have a Remington 870 Express Super Mag but I think I'm ready for an autoloader.
I have a few questions for the Beretta Xtrema 2 owners with the 26 inch barrel if there are any around here. How do you guys like the feel of the shorter gun?? Does it still swing pretty smooth?? I know the Xtrema 2's tend to be longer overall so getting the gun with the shorter barrel shouldn't be too big of an issue. I would think line of sight on an Xtrema 2 with the 26 inch barrel would be almost similar to my Remington 870 Express Super Mag with a 28 inch barrel. Would I be correct in this assumption?? Does the bulk/width of the buttstock of the Xtrema 2 causing any shouldering issues?? I've noticed it is quite a bit more bulky than my Remington.
Also, those that have shot the Xtrema 2 with and without the Kick-Off system, is there a big difference or is the gun without the KO system manageable??
