If you are buying new, definitely give Joel Etchen a call if you decide on the Beretta, there’s a reason he’s the biggest Beretta Dealer in the East!
If I were looking for a gun like you mentioned, though- I think I would look at used guns. Field guns, in general, don’t get shot much (compared to target guns). You could pick up a used Beretta or Browning for fairly cheap, and it’ll still last you a lifetime.
