Do you mean P. Bernardelli or V. Bernardelli? The VB's are excellent guns, but scarce, and parts will be a real problem if it ever breaks. The PB's can be a real bargain; mine is a DT/English/splinter with 28" barrels and oil finished wood; $325 brand new a few years ago on the closeout after Cape Outfitters closed. I like the M/F chokes, which are difficult to find in a lot of the Spanish/Basque guns currently imported; most seem to come with very open chokes. You won't find a Parker Repro at your $2500 price point, but if you do, grab it and don't look back. Of those you listed, I'd probably lean toward the AyA, but would buy the first really good gun I found that fits me. One advantage of the AyA is that there are more than a few floating around with 29" barrels.
