New Beretta SxS 490

Some nice unique elements but probably not for the traditionalists.

I’m a tradionalist and I LOVE that case hardened one. Could do with a wee bit of checkering. Perhaps scales would fit the theme...

Ooooooo I like that!!

Yes that case hardened receiver with the standard deep blue barrels is a little more staid than the bright blue receiver with stainless barrels. Still that bright blue receiver looks striking imo. Will probably show every mark and print though.

OMG, the CC is hurting to stay deep in the Billfold....
I would hate to see the price in Canadian Collars.
BitCoin might sound more appealing right about now.

I like them all though I am sure that my CC can't handle it right now.

That model is to far out there for my taste. For the money I would buy something else. Dam things not evan checkered.

haha!
Not enough triggers either.
I do hope it marks a resurgence in side lever actions though.

No self respecting FUDD would be caught dead with that.

Lol

 

[vmxracer]

I like it. Very modern

 

[1963beretta]

Not for me...but I bet the round action would be sweet to carry without that side lever

 

[ninepointer]

I gotta go with my first impression: I like it! This coming from a lover of double guns, meaning that by default I'm a traditionalist.

 

[FLYBYU44]

Damn!, that is one ###y gun, hope the lottery comes through for me this Friday!

 

[Grouse Man]

That is a piece of art. Serpentine, indeed.

Yes, checkering for functionality would be a good idea.

 

[Bland]

Not including checkering is an interesting decision. Mixed feelings, a good looking gun but prefer two triggers for sure.

 

[canvasback]

Don't like they way they handled the fences and as someone else noted, it's missing a trigger. But I love the side lever and the round-ish action. CCH is the way to go. If the colour in the pics is true, they got the wrong shade of blue on the "blued" receiver version.

 

[the spank]

Thats just butt ugly!! But it well sell to the anodized crowd since the receiver is about the colour of some plumbing part under the hood of some custom on Counting Cars.
