I would go to the store and test them both for fit. Pick the one that fits you best and you'll be happier in the long run.

Yeah get a Browning. The Chinese are known for shotguns.

Benelli is damn good

I'm sorry, the japanese are known for shotguns.

So back to the topic-

Benelli Cordoba or beretta xplorer? Just want to hear if anyone has experienced problems with either.

Tks

Used the cordoba lots. Solid gun no problems. Really fun guns. Shoots great in super cold (-20). Shoots great wet. Killed a lot of ducks and clays w/ SBE2 and loved it. Like the cordoba even more.

Thanks for the info. Both guns feel great and I'm leaning towards the Cordoba. I just wanted to get some feedback positive or negative before I go and drop 1500+ for a shotgun.

I've given this advice on here before and really believe that fit is the most important thing with shotguns. When you have two guns in your price range don't go for the most popular. Go for the one that fits you best. Most don't have the luxury to go test each gun so try this...

Head to a store that carries both if possible. Get the gun and mount it toward an easy to see landmark in the store. Do it slowly and do it a few times. When you feel comfortable mount it with your eyes closed. Get settled and open em up. You'll get a good idea which one fits you most naturally by which you mount more consistently (ie the bead is lined up down the barrel). This isn't the end all be all and if you're about average size they'll probably both fit fine.

Most people shoot poorly due to repetition, gun mount, and gun fit. Try to get one that fits you. There's a reason an expert shoots better with his own gun. It fits him and he knows it.

Thanks for the advice.

I bought the cordoba yesterday and shot some clays this morning. I spent a ton of money on the gun but it was well worth it.

Congrats. It will serve you well for years to come.
