Want a Beretta 390 (Wal Mart Gun)???
Ok, I have seen a lot of posts lately regarding the Beretta AL390, widely known as the "Wal Mart Gun". I came home from work today to find the Cabela's Sale flyer in my mailbox. The Beretta 390 is featured for $549.00.
Also, they list a Remington 870 with an HD barrel (it doesn't say, but I assume it is 18 1/2"), and a 26" field barrel. Price $399.00. Nice. And to top it all off they list a Stoeger M2000 with a short HD barrel, and a 26" Field barrel. The Photo shows it with a vent rib. $459.00 I have no affiliation with Cabelas and no interest whatever other than I have seen numerous posts from people looking for the Beretta 390. I have seen several posts stating that Remington did not have the 870 combo with 2 smooth bore barrels. Evidently they do. And finally, I am just a fan of the Stoeger M2000 and think this is an incredibly good deal. Here's the flier online: http://cabelasflyers.dirxion.com/q0v...Code=q0v09flx#

Note: The Beretta 390 and AL390 were both Italian made shotguns, which are no longer in production. The 390 used a steel receiver, while the slightly lighter AL390 had an aluminum receiver.
The shotgun that you see on sale in that ad is a Beretta Model 3901 American, which is made in the USA at the same factory that makes the M9 handgun for US Army. It is basically a clone of the old AL390, but with a cheaper matte blue finish and with no chrome bolt. -- |

RoscoeC,
The $200 difference you mentioned doesn't seem that high when you consider that a basic Remington 870 Wingmaster has a MSRP $400 more than the basic 870 Express. |

Good point, Zippy13. In the world of quality Semi Auto shotguns, especially ones with the sterling reputation that these enjoy, $200.00 isn't much. On the other hand it can make the difference between someone being able to afford a 390 or having to settle for something less.
