Browning Maxus or Benelli Super Vinci

[Temp430]

I'm trying to decide what to buy myself for Christmas. Are there any opinions one way or the other?

I would mostly use it with 3.5" turkey loads so I'm leaning towards the softer shooting Maxus despite it's reported heavy trigger. The Browning Maxus is about $350 cheaper than the Super Vinci so I figure I could afford a trigger job on the Maxus.

I decided on a Maxus in Realtree Max-4. I can still feel the 3.5" loads but it's a huge improvement over the old Nova. Also, I found the Maxus trigger to be quite good despite reports to the contrary.

Get the heaviest gun you can and then put a good recoil management system on it. 3.5"? OUCH, my shoulder's needing surgery just from the thought of a load like that!
