Ah . . . what a relief! A new addition to my (very short) ignore list.

Anyhoo, I do think that gun could look better if it were photographed in a different setting.
The black back ground is being accentuated to push that funeral look.
The Serpentina with side lever & walnut stock has been photographed in a more normal setting & looks very desirable.

Just my opinion, but the only way to photograph that gun so it looks "better" is to do it in the dark & w/o a flash.
I've no problem w/a sidelever but that gun is ugly & the shape of the side lever is ugly.
With so many nice looking examples of A&D & trigger plate actioned guns to copy, why would anyone design that Beretta abortion just to be "different"?

Hello All,
After 13 pages of... back and forth? I can only say:

(Miller, spot on!)
Best.

 I'd have to order it with the lever on the other side, as per Miller! JC

What a wonderful looking gun. Would love the opportunity to shoot in. In the mean time, I will be having my new Beretta 486 Parallelo fitted by Dale Tate tomorrow in Camanche Hills.

Trying to compete with the Benelli 828U for ugly, I think.

Compared to a 1905 Stephen Grant side lever I owned; that is one very homely shotgun. Beretta should go back and look at what classic side levers looked like and duplicate those rather than this rendition. No thanks!
