Beretta didn't exactly hit a home run in the looks department with the 486 Parallelo but to me it's much more attractive than the 490 Serpentina & given it is a Beretta I'm sure it is a very good design from the mechanical standpoint.

I used a 12 ga Beretta 470 SxS for years as my do everything rainey day/beater/loaner hunting gun until I switched to double triggers & it always performed well.
