I am purchasing an o/u 12ga for my boyfriend for his birthday. I have done tones of research and have it narowed down to a Ruger Red Label or a Berret 686 (I can't afford the citori).......Any thought? The gun will be used for pheasant hunting. Thanks
In shotgunning, how the gun fits is an important factor. Does your boyfriend know about this gift? Has he tried shouldering each of the shotguns?
I've got a Citori O/U that I use for sporting clays and doves. I tried packing it through the fields for some quail hunting and it seemed like it got awfully heavy. Since he's going to be toting it through the fields, I might be influenced by how much each of those weighs. They're both pretty decent shotguns, although, I think Berettas might have anedge in overall quality.
Thanks.....I'll tell him that. The gift card idea is a really great idea, but i really want to be able to give him the physical gun, its more fun. I am lame like that.
I don't think you can go wrong with either. Has your boyfriend made any passing remarks about either that would given you a hint as to which he would prefer? Tough decision, both are good shotguns.
He has said Ruger, but it was VERY much just in passing like (I need to get a shot gun. What kind? There are lots of kinds, A ruger, but can't afford that). That is one of the biggest reasons i am still looking for feedback. Most people have been saying the Berreta and after i looked at them, I liked the Berreta.....but I could be wrong. I would rather not be wrong on this one
The Beretta will havemore of a "WOW" factor when you give it to him. In my opinion, Berettas are about as good as they come . I would rather have the Beretta, but I would take either as a gift .
