This is a follow up to an e-mail I posted almost a month ago for a Beretta GR3 that was being sold for around $1200. I bought it and I couldn't be more happier. 28" barrels, cross bolt, single selective trigger, pistol grip, beavertail, extractors, ventilated rib, and Pachmayr solid pad. It has some nice engraving on the action. The wood is strong where it needs to be and the checkering pattern has no run overs. I plan on taking it to Bull Run Regional Shooting Center and try it on sporting clays. I keep thinking about getting an SKB 385 sporting clays. They're out there, but they are usually priced around $2200. Depending on how the Beretta feels and shoot, I may hold off.
Congratulations. Solid gun with some weight to it making it good choice for round of sporting clays. They also made some 'Empire Grade' for Charles Daly and some 626s for Orvis of Manchester Vt. (model Waterfower or Wildfowler). They made 626 Onyx 3.5", but I have not come across sample in many, many years.
