Upland Shotgun Recommendations

Well I got the chance to handle a beretta 686 at the local gun store a couple days ago. Made the mistake of having the wife with me though otherwise I don’t know if I could have resisted. Her sideways glance was enough for me to know I shouldn’t be buying that at that moment. I’ll probably have to go with the 686. It just felt right.

Hard to go wrong with a 686.. that’s what my wife shoots in an O/U… they are a very nice gun.. there’s a reason you see so many of them out on the trap and skeet fields..

I suggest going to a bunch of local gun shops and shouldering a variety of double barrels. My favorite which I unfortunately sold was an old Montgomery Ward branded SXS 16 gauge. Someone had put new wood on it with a straight grip, which I now prefer.

I prefer SXS to OU but that seems to be personal preference.
