The Beretta 486 Parallelo is available with 32" barrels and a double trigger from the factory; it's just special order. Regardless, I've put on order a 12 bore Beretta 486 Parallelo with 28" barrels, Prince of Wales stock, and beaver tail forearm. Can't wait to pick it up.

Canvasback,
I agree that the lines on the gun certainly look contrived and unnatural.

Offer it in sub-gauges would be more of a hit to me to. JMHO




Although I could never afford it, I rather like both the gun, AND the maker's courage to put something different out there.

I also like the discussions this OP has provoked, both for or against - please keep it up !

That gun looks like it would slip out of your hand if you didn't wear gripper gloves...Geo

Given that it's a sxs--which automatically means it's more attractive to hunters than to target shooters--they wouldn't be likely to sell very many high dollar purpose built sidelever target guns. Now if it were an OU target gun with a sidelever . . .

Obviously Larry you don't follow the NSCA events around the country, both large and small, where there are hundreds if not thousands of registered shooters who participate in the sxs events. I assure you there are many more prospects for this gun in this segment than for a few hunters scattered around the country.

Well John, this being a doublegun BB, it's a great place to test the water. So far, I see you and one other favoring the gun in pure target format. I count myself and 3 others--references to 28ga, gun in subgauge, and 16ga--that think it's better offered as a game gun. So far, you're trailing 4-2. And of course as a game gun, it can also double as a competition gun. Make it 8 pounds plus and it wouldn't be the choice of many upland hunters. Ducks and turkeys . . . maybe.

Well I like it.
Why custom though ? That just means that it costs us way more.
As stated earlier, with modern CNC Manufacturing this gun could be made affordable.
No engraving made them a big saving, & it is just a box lock, with a single trigger. A simple looking gun.
The Turks could make this for about a grand I reckon.
You pay for Beretta, the name, & a shotgun comes with it.

Looks better than a bunch of doubles, as is. I'm thinking Win. 24, Win. 21.................

I'm also thinkin' a .410 with 31" barrels and two triggers would be smokin' hot..........a veritable funeral model.
