I'm researching Ithaca and Beretta model 410 magnum 10 gauge doubles. I have not owned either one but will be buying one this season. How would you compare those 2 guns? The purpose is for pass shooting geese and turkey hunting. Thanks in advance.

I like the Beretta http://www.gunbroker.com/item/724785222I have an NID Ithaca but the Beretta seems a bit more modern and may be better for non-tox.

Thanks for your feedback. The Berettas I've looked at are about 40 years newer than the Ithacas I've considered. That's not bad in itself of course but goes with your comment.
Thanks for that link. I didn't see that one in recent searches. I do wonder when they mention the cracks around the frame...that was an issue with some of them. I think the 70's production had less issues related to that?

The Beretta is a very well made SxS. There are two frame designs. The one on gun broker is one style. The second style has an angled frame. The angled frame is thought to be better and doesn't lend it's self to splitting. The frame shown on gun broker with the sharp angles is believed to split under recoil. I have only owned the angled frame and never had a problem.
Best,
Ron

Is this the other style?  Here's another one with a small crack or maybe it's just a scrape...

That last photo is a super clean example otherwise. It's sold of course. Nice gun.

I would suggest having a look at the AYA 10 ga. magnums.I have owned four or five over the last 30 odd years and currently have two.They stand up very well to serious use and I believe are the most shootable of what is available out there.JMHO
Better to keep your mouth shut and be thought stupid,than open it and confirm.

Condition equal, a Beretta would be the better choice as far as modern materials and most likely less cost. Not many NID 3.5" 10 ga. guns were made. Gil
