Ed, I favor the Beretta's......Back in the middle andlate 1960's I shot a Beretta " Sliver Snipe" O/U, but like a FOOL
I sold it in the middle 70's...My wife to be in 1967 gave mea FNBRN A-5 VR 12ga for that Xmas
(which I still Have)and I started using it more and morethan the O/U Beretta.
The Berettawas the best fitting and quickest handling shotgun I ever had for Quail and Snipe.
Beretta is what I am favoring as well just w/o the nitride finish or a Rizzini. Owner of the sporting clays course near my home hates Berettas big time of course he works for one of the big gun manufacturers that beretta is handing their a&& to. Gander had the plain jane onyx for sale this time last year for I believe it was 1050 why didn't I buy 2 of those &*(**(( things.?
