Now don't get crazy now.. I have both of them and the Beretta is far from perfect. Your forgetting that the Euro is worth almost 1.50 dollarsa record high..guess who is paying extra for that? You don't think Beretta is putting it into the gun do you? I am having cosmetic issues with a Silver Pigeon and for what I paid for it I am not happy. It had to go back to beretta one week after I purchased it because one of the action bars/cocking rod)had to be deburred. The gun would not cock. I have a Ruger Red Label 28 o/u that has had zip problems..Ruger customer service>>>>> then Beretta customer service and the wood on the Ruger is better as well.
