Sorry for the confusion guys. The gun pictured above is not my Beretta. Its a 682 I found. I just like the way the finish on the action looked with the high grade wood. I'd like to achieve something like this with my Beretta.
I don't have a photo of my new gun but here is a shot of another Orvis Uplander that I've owned. My newer one is basically the same except the figure in the wood is not as nice as the one pictured below.
Another route I thought about, was sending the current stock and forend to fellow board member, Mark Larson, and let him "enhance" the figure.
Regardless, I'd still like the refinish the action. Its not a matte blue like you often see on the Onyx models so it can easily be refinished. There is quite a bit of wear on the edges. Any recommendations for a good smith to "French Gray" the action?
