There are some great buys on the Beretta BL series guns from time to time. They will be a fixed choke gun but with all the same quality of today's Berettas. You'll find them numbered from BL1 to BL5. That is from early to late rather than grades. They also had the S55, S56 and S57 which were kind of the European counterparts to the the BL series. You'll often find either for well under $1000. Any of them with barrels choked IC/M would cover most shotgunning needs. The BL 1 was a double trigger gun with a slick barrel. The front trigger was hinged. the later BLs, 2-5 all had single selective triggers, though some of the 2s had a rocker trigger. A single trigger with two finger grooves. The upper groove allowed the user to select the top barrel and the bottom groove the bottom barrel. I don't recall if the 2s were offered with a vent rib or not. The 3-5 models all had vent ribs.
