Hi Mark:
I have been to Argentina twice:
The first time I shot a Beretta 28 gauge 687 ou with 30" barrels. It weighed about 6-1/4 lbs.
The second time I shot a Parker 16 with 32" barrels that weighs 7lbs 4oz and an SKB 28ga SxS with 28" barrels that weighs 7lbs. I shot about 4,000 rounds through the SKB 28ga and 3,000 rounds through the Parker 16 in 4 days of hunting.
I wouldn't hesitate to go again with any of these guns.
My companions on the first trip rented guns from the Estancia. In my opinion the Beretta OU 20 gauges were too light and generally beat the tar out of them. The Beretta semi autos jammed often.
On my second trip my buddy took a Beretta semi auto 20 gauge that I had bought brand new and loaned to him. It constantly jammed shooting the Estancia's shells. It shot without a single failure before we left and after we returned. He rented a Beretta 28 gauge from the Estancia that operated flawlessly except for the ejectors. If they told me the gun had been shot a million rounds I wouldn't doubt them. It was well worn. He was very pleased with the Beretta 28ga ou.
Best,
Mike
