Hey Guys;

UPDATED AGAIN... Shot my gun at Stittsville this past Sunday, here is a little video. I did not miss the first shot on the first clay. And this was how I finished the first round of Skeet, 3 hits on Station 8, POWDER!!! I love my new shotgun!!! Can't wait for the upland hunting this year!

UPDATE!!! So, I noticed LeBaron's had the 12ga Beretta SV10 Perennia Grade III, field 28 inch barrel on sale... I 'asked' the wife if I could upgrade, got the green light & started looking for a 26 inch barrel... None at LeBaron, they had 28, none at Prophet River, it's actually being discontinued & that's the reason for the sale price...

Called Al Flaherty's AND BINGO!!! Got to choose between two & tomorrow my new upland gun is on it's way to me!!! YAHOO!!! :rockOn:

Pics to follow...

Cheers

P.S. Here is the original ad from LeBaron's, $4489!!! (Just remove the spaces between the W's...)

Old story...
So, I have the 'GREEN LIGHT' from my beautiful wife to buy a nice upland shotgun... :rockOn:

I went to LeBaron's and SAIL here in Ottawa. I looked at 3 guns at LeBaron, and while they all pointed well for me, I discounted the Browning Citori as it was not as slim as the Beretta 686, even though the Browning they showed me had nicer wood. SAIL showed me about 6 guns, again all pointed well for me, and again the Beretta product stood out, but they only had the 20ga model.

LeBaron has the 12ga Beretta 686 Silver Pigeon Grade 1, field model, with a 28 inch barrel... BUT I REALLY PREFER the look of the 26 inch barrel & I know Beretta makes them in that barrel length. And, if I was getting picky, and had several to choose from, I would choose a darker wood, even better if it had a little character to it!

HELP!!!

Cheers & Thanks in Advance!

Any particular reason towards the preference for 12ga? Personal opinion only, if the intent is to use the shotgun for Upland only, the 686/687 20ga with 28in bbls has the best all round handling properties.
 
Just spoke with Clay at Prophet River... Awaiting a return call after he makes some inquires... Fingers crossed!

Ha ha ha, no green light there! My good little catholic 'teacher' girl won't post pics here...

Now... Clay called me back, NO 26 barrel in Toronto... No 26 barrel in New York... Shipment is due in the USA in 30 days & Clay had them add a 26 barrel to his shipment...

So, I found my gun!!! Thank you Clay & Prophet River! I look forward to your call saying my gun is in!!!

Cheers

I prefer the 12 ga because I personally regard it as more versatile. For me, this is a once in a lifetime purchase of an upland gun, so I went with 12 ga. I also choose the 26 inch barrels because of some of the tight shooting that happens in the early bird season before the leaves are off the trees.

Just personal preference, that's all.
