I don't want it to sound like I am hounding Beretta, I use a lot of their products, but when it comes to the semi-auto shotgun; my money is on the Benelli.
The Xplor is a little more rounded off where the receiver meets the stock and a slightly different trigger guard from the Benelli Vinci. Otherwise, you are looking at almost identical shotguns. Then again, Beretta owns Benelli so why not copy off the makers of the best semi-auto shotguns in the world.
Do you constantly fret over the adequacy of your gun collection? Are you worried there's a gaping hole in your hunting arsenal? Do you have guns for small game, upland birds, waterfowl, turkeys, predators, deer, elk, moose, bear, dangerous game, plains game, and pretty much anything else that walks, crawls or flies, but you still think there's something missing for the really, really big game?
Well, fret no more, because for the low starting bid of $19,950 you can complete your ultimate hunting battery with this, the Kongberg 90mm Harpoon Cannon, complete with everything you see here (crusty Norwegian whaler dudes sold separately).

Let’s get back to some hard-core fishing. As some here know full well, there are lots of little things in fishing that mean a great deal--sharp hooks, good knots, and--yes--split rings. These are the little double coils of wire that hold the hooks on many lures. The following doesn’t happen too often, but it can happen. You hook an unusually big or strong fish, the split ring pulls apart, the fish gets away, and the air turns blue with words you never heard in Sunday school.
Mr. Merwin,
I now know, thanks to you, how important good split rings are, but I would like to know how strong are the interlock snaps on a ball bearing swivel. During a recent trip to Canada I unfortunately lost a trophy Northern Pike when it bent my interlock snap straight. I was using 20lb test Fireline Crystal fastened to the ball bearing interlock snap; which I figured would have broken before swivel did. This was a brand new swivel and they cost $3.99 for a pack of 5, but I was disappointed and very religious when I found out why my fish got off. Any insight on the strength rating of different sized interlock ball bearing swivels would be greatly appreciated.

Anti-Deer-Hunting Billboard Goes Up in Kansas City261
From KCTV 5 News:

In the video the one guy is talking about a compensatory rebound effect...Is this something I have never heard of or is that guy just full of crap?
