New Beretta 694 Over/Under 12ga Shotgun

Here is more description.
We do a lot of talking around here about the sadness of passing of legacy and heirloom firearms made of fine Walnut with beautiful contour lines and craftsmanship.
Over/Under shotguns are the exception. Winchester makes a beautiful shotgun too, as does Browning.
I’d love to have a new 694 to test at my local sporting clays range and report back to you, but unfortunately Beretta didn’t send me a gun to review.
If any enterprising reader gets one, report back over these pages after testing.

I do love an O/U and this one sure looks like a peach.
That said, such a gun is pretty low on the list of priorities at the moment. Hopefully, I can run across one somewhere and at least fondle it.

I share the Captain’s love of aesthetics however I substitute a lever (1887/1892) in lieu of an O/U.

Yea I understand.
Lever action rifles are hard to come by at the moment. Not just legacy JM-stamped Marlin’s, but new Marlin’s, Henry’s, and Rossi’s.
All of them.
