i just sold my black eagle a few weeks ago and was planning on a new black eagle II, but i really like the looks of the al391, from beretta, does anyone have any experience with it, patterns? thanks in advance.

al 391 HANDS DOWN!!!!

more reliable. better value. better made. better patterns.

391 is a WELL made slaying machine!!

shold have read a391, sorry, you guys are gonna make it hard on me, either one shoot both that you could compare patterns? thanks.

Md. Turkey Hunter,

Hey just wanted to touch base with you to let you know i am a Western Md native. I grew up in Allegany County and have hunted there all my life. I currently live in Northern Va and still travel back to hunt. Shoot me an email if you want.

MD TURKEY HUNTER - I looked at both guns the other day and they were both very nice. The thing I did notice is that the Beretta seems like a much bigger gun because of how long the forearm is. I think you'll find that the Benelli is a little bit lighter as well which you may want to keep in mind if you do a lot of moving around. I haven't shot either gun so I can't speak to how well they pattern. Good luck!

guest, i hunt green ridge, been hunting there my whole life, some real good turkey hunting there, still didnt come up with your email info, maybe you can try again. thanks shaggy, i know how well my benelli shot, guess i had no good reason to sell it, just planned on getting the sbeII. but ive always been interested in the beretta. i know the beretta is gas operated, and people have said they jam some, but still have the 11-87 i bought when i was 16, gas operated, and never jammed one time in thousands of shells. they said the same thing about the black eagle, and its not supposed to work well with 2 3/4" shells, but i never had one jam with it either. the benelli pattern was awesome, shot the red winchester 3.5" not the hv shells, and i can say it made my 11-87 3" pattern look like a 20 gauge, but then again, i never had a problem killing with the remington, but i like all the help i can get, only takes one pellet, and things are not always the way you like it when shooting at turkeys.
