First,I'm not a trapshooter,and I'm not much of a shotgunner.
Long ago,after getting laid off,I had a little severance pay.Not exactly mad money.I saw a closeout on the Berretta 686 Essential O/U for $599?Maybe $699.
Its been my go-to shotgun ever since..IMO,for an O/U a Berretta 686 is a good,sound shotgun.I do not know the used market on them.
But what I have noticed that has gone on around me,whether its SxS fans,O/U fans,Pump fans,or any other,once they try the Bennelli semi-auto....
Most all seem to end up getting one.
