I only have one side by side gun.....a Beretta 471 Silverhawk 20 Ga. with 28" tubes and Mobil chokes. English stock and splinter forend.......every man should own one fine shotgun.
I have used it for Huns. Pheasant, Grouse and Rabbits and Tree Rats.....lightweight and a real joy to carry.
My other "Double" is an O/U 12 ga. Beretta 686 White Onyx......and it just hammers birds!
I had the same shotgun w/pistol-grip/beavertail. Also a 20/28". I lusted after one for ~20yrs before the $$ and the shotgun crossed paths at the same time. Alas, that 471 had too much drop for me and the only way I could hit with it was to add a 3/4" tall leather riser, covering up some exquisite lumber in the process. I shot a 13wk season of skeet, practice rounds, some sporting clays +/- 500 rounds trying to get things figured out. Last Dec it made someone else a fine Christmas present.
