Browning Silver 20 ga, or Benelli Legacy 20 ga? Liberated quail in South Alabama!
Re: Gun Choice
If money is no object then I would go Benelli. I have a Legacy 12 so I'm partial.
Re: Gun Choice
Have a Benelli Monte in 20ga and love it. Hard to beat a 5.5lb quality gun.

Re: Gun Choice
Ben,
Both are well made guns, pick which ever fits you best, and get use to shooting it.

Re: Gun Choice
IMO you can spend all the money you want but it doesn't matter if the gun doesn't make you happy and fit you right kind of copying RGD but i feel it needs to be said again the gun must fit you to make you happy.

Re: Gun Choice
GDB,
I definitely agree the fit is critical to good gunning, in the field or on the clays course the gun must fit, if the gun needs to be altered to fit properly, you must take the cost into account prior to purchasing.

Re: Gun Choice
Be hard to argue with fit, especially at either of the extreme bounds of a person's size....but perspective re "fit" is important.
I was professionally "fit" with a 17 1/8" LOP...I shoot just fine with less than that and gun mount at the end of a long day or in tough cover is less of an issue.
Fit is often about a mix of length, weight and bulk and any gun store "fit" is also notoriously good if you like the gun to begin with.
Truthfully, most folks do well with about any scattergun as the mind is a powerful convincer...balance is the real key to hitting stuff flying thru the air....one key amongst many.
Many times and away from the Internet, gun fit does not involve a set of measurements.
Keep that in mind and you will do OK....put off letting any wood chips fly untill you have shot any scattergun at game for a year or so.
You will likely be money ahead.
