Years ago when I was choosing between a Beretta and a Browning 20 ga. o/u, I spoke with a local gunshop owner and gunsmith. At that time, he said it was difficult obtaining parts for repairing the Citori. As for the Beretta 680 series, he had fewer of them for repair, but BerettaUSA was a responsive and reliable source for parts. Based on his comments, I bought the Beretta. This was over 15 years ago, and things may have changed by now. Gil
