Where are they??

[browninggold]

I'm starting the search for a decent O/U, likely a Browning or Beretta. I think I went on every dealer site I could find in Canada, and there are hardly any nice O/U's in stock anywhere!! I know any dealer can order a gun, but if I'm going to drop 5g's on a gun, I want to see the actual gun I'm getting. There are your standard Citori Lightning's and 625's, and Beretta 686's, but thats pretty much it. My search is narrowed down to 12g (possibly 20) O/U, with 28" (or 30" if its sporting) bbls. If anyone knows about a store I might have missed (I went by the firearmscanada.com listing, so they might not all be on there), or the whereabouts of a nice O/U, please feel free to share your info.

In the (nearly) $5K range, CGN sponsor P&D Enterprises has a Beretta SV10 Perennia in stock, as well as a Blaser F3 with 28 inch barrels (very nice gun).

Wholesale sports in Edmonton usually keeps one or two of the more expensive Beretta 687s in stock.

The guns are out there, keep looking. It is hard to convince a store owner that it is wise to tie up that many dollars in inventory that will probably sit on the shelf for quite a while. Also, when you start getting into the $5K and up range, people know exactly what they want and do not mind waiting for a special order to get it.
