Perhaps if pitted against a modern Browning or Remington...

If they work for you, they work for you. If not, blame the rodeo queen.

McDonald's doesn't suck, you suck!
I don't think they are bad guns, I just think they are over-glorified. And I'm curious what Rick has against modern Brownings, I know my Silver and SX2 have been borrowed several times this season because a certain other B gun isn't a fan of the cold...

Among them Brownings (and their Winchester clones?) and Remingtons have seemed the most mechanically problematic by enough margin I'd not again consider owning either. Doesn't mean anyone's particular Browning (Winchester) or Remington won't work flawlessly, just that my experience leads me to believe there are safer bets. Namely, the Berettas and Benellis, both of which have their share of bobbles, too, just not as many in my experience. Shoot, I saw a husband and wife's Extremas both break on the same hunt! But I'd still choose one over a Gold, SX or Remington semi-auto.
And Duck Hammer will be pleased to know my Benelli 20 started hang-firing this season for some mysterious reason:
More seriously, both my Benellis have seen over 20 seasons of hard use and abuse, and both have their share of new parts to show for it. Things one might not normally think of wearing out, like trigger hinge pins. They're far from indestructible, just gosh awful reliable - given the amount of use and abuse they endure. Will they ever be classics romanticized like the A-5? Probably not, it has a 100 year head start in that department.

Went to the local hardware store and bought a spring that was close in its approximate dimensions and took it back to the marsh the next day.
