My goodness! An 8-bore? 13.5 lbs? 36” barrels? Let’s see...900-1200 gr of shot? Surely a gun that has outlasted its day.

As to the Beretta, I like double triggers in a double but I guess with both barrels choked the same, there is no choice to be made. If I was twenty years younger I’d hold it against you for providing that link. 😜😀

I see it used in the English driven bird-hunt tradition scenario. Birds high, fast and a guy to reload it and hand it to you.
However, posting in the fields of SD will suffice. 😀
