Well, for reasons unbeknownst to me, someone has asked me for an opinion of said model Beretta. Now, I've had just a bit of experience with the O/Us, but, would consider myself a rookie with said SXS, since, if I ever held one, I can't remember it.
Gun is a non ejector 12 with double triggers, and plain wood. Individual will use the hell out of it, this guy shoots 5 times a week, and hunts from north of Hudson bay to South America, just looking at having a double to bring along. I doubt gun will get a bunch of cleaning, just enough to keep it from being called neglected. Appears to be a monoblock design, matte chrome on the action. It will have to eat any 2 3/4 12 load he feeds it, might be able to talk him into a more evolved non toxic than steel, but, maybe that, too. Gun has been used, but everything is OK mechanically.
I'm guessing it'll be fine. What say thee?
Best,
Ted
