Nice wood, and info folks, helps A Lot.......so a guy was hunting yesterday with a 101 he bought back in the 70s or 80s.....it was a 28" 20, IIRC, and he had an IC and perhaps a MC.
I was thinking perhaps the O/U design was fairly robust and would last with little trouble - even the off brands, but I may have assumed wrong.
So are the 101s less money than a similar Browning? I assume they are both solid guns? I've heard issues about Customer service before with Beretta since buying Sako.........too bad given their long history.
So not many folks seem to feel a need for a 3" in a 20 O/U for what they use it for it seems. Thanks everyone!
Beretta has been working on improving their customer service reputation. While it used to be slow, they most often did good work. I would have little hesitation buying a Beretta.
SxS and O/U take a certain amount of care and skill to be done right. Not sure what you mean by off brands, but be careful how far you go down the hole.
