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.
Sorry to hear about your recent break in. I can not give advice about a over under for trap and skeet. Although for the money I choose a remington 1100 competition and it is super sweet shotgun I have ever shot. I may even turn it into a 3 gun shotgun it is so nice shooting! lol Good luck on your next gun purchase with the over under shotgun they get expensive super fast. If you belong to a gun club with a good trap range then you will find some person go out and buy a super expensive over and under with a couple rounds and say f it and not want to shoot. Timing is key on those though.
