RE: Buying an O/U need Help!
Wow... What a great girlfriend!
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.
