Looking for a New O/U

My vote would be for Beretta. I have a 20ga 686 since the mid-90s and never once have had any issues. Seems bullet proof, comfortable to carry and fits me.

If the Beretta fits, it's a good choice. I didn't like the Browning's and others I looked at nearly as much as the Beretta.

However, in the 30 years i have owned it my propensity to spend has increased as well. If I were to add another O/U I might get some other manufacturer. Rizzini, Gamba, Guerini..... I'd love to get a Cosmi but my hunting life is probably not more than 10 more years. hard to justify!
 
Last time I hunted with Santa, he was shooting a Beretta 687 20ga. 28” barrels with English stock and upgraded wood. Maybe he was field testing the gun for you Britt, check for light scratches. If it doesn’t fit you, please reply back to him and drop the name Birddude.😁

That would be cool. The gun I would want would be north of $8500. I would probably choose a different maker at that price.

My Weatherby Orion (40 years or so) is a great 20ga gun. I believe it is SKB partnered production.

I am looking at a 12 ga. OU.

Yes, in the 80s Orions were SKBs.

Amongst the 6 SKBs of various gauges resting in the safe there is a 12ga Orion. Great shotguns.

Why not get another SKB? They are around at reasonable prices. SKB Omaha has the parts and expertise to handle any problems that occur.

I picked up a VERY nice SKB 605 (the XX5 models have screw in chokes) 28ga this year for $1350.

Just a thought.
