Thanks for your comments. It looks like the jury is split.
I'm tempted to go for a new Remmy although the allure of a Beretta (new or used) is tempting. I'm not sure if there is an actual difference in quality but I believe there is certainly a perception of better quality with a Beretta product over a Remington. The problem over here is that it's difficult to find a gun shop with all the products that you're interested in on the shelf at any given time so it's difficult to make a side by side comparsion.
Any more opinions are welcome.
Kind regards,
Tim
