Any experience with Fabarms or Bernadelli autos?
CDNN is closing out some Italian semi-autos and I am curious if anybody out there has had any real world experience with them. I gave my son my old Browning all-purpose over/under so am now looking for a general purpose semi-auto. I shoot a couple rounds of skeet, trap, and 5 stand a year plus a pheasant tower shoot once a year. For some reason I've never been able to bond with Rem 1100's or 11-87s and I'm not wild about spending a grand on one of the other B guns.

Would like to hear from somebody that has fired one of these.

CDNN is closing out some shotguns at big discount. Both seem like a lot of shotgun for the money.

One is the Fabarm H368:

The other is the Bernadelli SX801 models

I would leave them alone ...Seems like a good deal but when you have to service or get parts for them they won't seem like such a bargain. I have handled the Fabarm semi-auto and if it is built like my classic lion it is one heck of an autoloader. A bit heavy but nice gun but parts and service ?????
