The best thing I like about mine is it's ability to handle light skeet loads and full power 3.5" magnum waterfowl loads with everything in between and nary a hiccup! Mine had been dragged through muddy corn fields and pelted with ocean salt water spray sea duck hunting, and it cleans up in a snap.Grouse said:What do you like about your Benelli?

Best of luck!
I would agree with your statement Loggy and I am the one who called Browning. I have owned several Browning shotguns over the years and the workmanship and quality is excellant.
I currently own a Browning Gold 12 ga. and it is my go to turkey gun. Absolutely love the light weight and functionality,have never had a single problem.
I do however have a real problem with the lack of official warranty. This might not hamper me from purchasing additional Browning guns though!
With the quality manufacturing already there, the warranty issue might be a mute point. Remember, Browning's ad logo: "Browning, The best there is."
Additionally, if Browning handles service issues on a case by case basis, I'll bet most services for failed components probably would be covered.
