I'm thinking of getting one, I don't need it really because my beretta 391 20 guage is just a year old, but I figure I'm single (at least for now), have very few bills and have several extra dollars aroudn so why not go ahead and get it.
Anyway I went looking today and I don't know if I want a 20 guage or a 28. My urrent birdgun is a 20, I woudl like to have a 28 someday, mostly just to say i have one, but I have hunted with one and I liked it. Anyway here is what I found today:
NEW: Beretta 686 Onyx 20 guage, very pretty. about the same wieght as my 391 Urika about $1400 or $1500 range
New: Beretta Whitewing 20 guage, not as pretty as the 686 but a few hundred dollars cheaper.
New: Rizzini 28 guage, one with a color case hardened finish the other sith a stainless or nickel something, actually it says Sig Arms onit but it's made by Rizzini, $1800 for either one.
Used: Winchester 101 12 guage with the full bbl. tubes for a 20,
28 guage and a .410 bore. Basicly the option of four guns in one, but good God the thing was heavy. It was purty though for $1600.
Looked at a Franchi O/U 12 guage, didn't like it at all.
Of these I am strongly thinking of the Rizzini, I'm just looking for the nice gun, probably not going to use it on every hunt but then again I might. The little Rizzini was sharp too, both had fixed chokes in them but the guy (who was a master gunsmith) said that coudl be easily changed for a few hundred bucks, he said you probably won't neeed to though.
The whitewing was nice too, but I don't know if I want another 20 or not, I have two already.
What do yall think?
