New Gun – Beretta S686 Onyx
October 17th, 2001
I treated myself to an early anniversary present and bought myself a Beretta Over-and-Under 12 gauge with a 28 inch barrel. I’ve always wanted an O/U and finally pulled the proverbial trigger. Black matte finish, a meat and potatoes sort of gun. Ok well, perhaps a New York Strip and Potatoes Lyonnaise at the price point, but not something I’ll be afraid to ding up a little in the field.
Update: Â The gun is a very nice one. Â It shoots well, I tend to shoot poorly. Â My 14 year old son borrowed it for part of opening day and was hitting doubles when we shot some trap after lunch. Â Got his first bird in the afternoon. Â Â All in all a good day!
