I was at the Beretta Gallery on Madison Ave in NYC today. I handled the standard 486 in 20 Ga. ; a nice gun. Didn't do a real thorough eval, just handled, looked at wood to metal fit, barrel striking, bores, etc. Overall a nice gun. round body, nicely shaped single selective trigger, ejectors. Seamless, laser welded mono block barrel construction. wood finish a satin , not 100% filled but good enough, checkering was pretty good for machine cut. French gray receiver and trigger guard, log tang guard. would have preferred blued guard and case colored receiver. solid lock up,
also saw Papa H's SO3 on display. kind of cool piece of history. My daughter actually pointed it out. I was too busy looking at an SO10 EELL ($170,000)
