Went to a store last night to price one out. Looks like the new Beretta 686 silver pigeon I starts at about 2000$. But i guess it gives us the excuse to upgrade. Maybe go a step up or two.

Anyone have opinions on over under shotguns for mostly sporting clays? Being italian we are huge fans of Beretta. ALso just love the looks of it. But i held a few brownings and they were nice as well. Not a big fan of the high polish on the wood though. The Benelli over under was ugly to me. But i loved the weight distribution the best.

I'm surprised New York's finest didn't give you a hard time about having a weapon in the city...

I had a Browning Citori 20ga. skeet/skeet that was a pleasure to shoot, lightweight, great pattern, but that was 40 years ago. Back then some had a matte finish, but I preferred the gloss, looked richer. Dad had a Browning sweet 16 that was smooth as silk, that semi-auto takes a lot of the kick out. If I replaced the Citori today, it would be with a semi-auto, but that's just me.

That's funny... 60-ish years ago they replaced the 7.62 with the M4 (equivalent)

I have both, If I didn't have to carry it on 20 mile marches, give me the .308... If I have to carry it and ammo all day, it's 5.56 as long as my buddy has a .308 to back me up on hard targets.
