I have three

Western,
I have a 686 Onyx Sporting, a 682 Gold Sporting, both in 12ga. and a 686 combo gun with 20 & 28ga. barrel sets. They have proved stone reliable for me. I have owned Browning and SKB doubles, but for me Beretta just shoots better. For the record the Browning and SKBs gave me no problems either.

The Geezer League,etc, seems to like them. There seems to be few probs. Quality seems to be on the same level as the Brownings,far from faint praise.

The one I took a few shots with had a stock that did not fit me. This seems to be endemic, from hearsay. Once it's fitted, you're set.

Owned a 686 in 28 GA. Great little gun that had to be sacrificed to the god of better guns.

Berettas are as good as Brownings and I personally prefer their handling and action over Brownings.

If you need parts or choke tubes or stuff check out Cole gunsmithing. They are often better stocked with parts than Beretta USA

I've owned two Beretta over/unders -- a 682X trap gun that was sold as part of an upgrade and still own a 28" 682 Super Sport that I'm very happy with. Friends and acquaintances own a selection of Beretta in various gauges and no complaints from any of them.
