I do a lot of waterfowl hunting so I need a "bulletproof" shotgun next to my sidelock Aya who isn't liking the abuse this kind of hunting is dishing out.

After some research I was about to order the xtrema 2.

But just as I put out my feelers for the best price I run into this film:

WTF?

The xtrema2 has proven itself to be reliable.
The A400 xtreme is new but maybe has better technology.

What are your opinions?

A400 xtreme or the xtrema2?

Thx!

have 4 xtremas 2, one orifginal xtrema one, and I am going to get the x44 as soon as it comes available....

I have had problems with all 4 extrema 2's with light firing pin strikes after a lot of shells.... dont know if they fixed the problem, bought a couple of benellis last year for the same time and loved them, no problems

that being said Im buying a x400 as soon as I can get it in cammo.. I figure why not.

Cool!

Here in Holland we're only allowed 5 guns on our licence!

So you better buy the right one!

I heard the firing pin story as well on youtube they say it's due to the gasket in the forend not being well placed?

What is a lot of shells for you btw?

greetz

went out and bought the a400 extreme, and I am really liking it, althought it does not fit as well as the extrema 2's that I have, I will have to look into the issue with the gasket that you are mentioning.

When I say a lot of shells I mean 8 to 10 thousand shells a year per gun......

I will have to say that I really like extremas, and even though I have had problems with the firing pins, I would continue to shoot one if I could solve that problem.

See which one fits you better and roll with it.
