Maybe "beginner" wasn't the right word. How about "first" over/under. I grew up using singles, pumps and autos. Got the sxs bug in my late 20's and never looked back. All of my shooting is done with a sxs except coastal duck hunting. For some odd reason I now have the itch for an over/under. I decided to limit myself to no more than $4,000 in cost. This should keep me put of trouble with the wife. My youngest son is pushing the Beretta Silver Pigeon III. He thinks I will hate an over/under and will give it to him.

I am thinking of going over to the dark side and trying an over/under. Would a Beretta Silver Pigeon III be a good place to start? Thanks. SS, you've mentioned nothing about its intended use. 12 ga. or small ga.? Clays? An upland piece where weight is a big factor? Lots to consider before asking recommendations...

Then why bother, except to verify that you love being an a$$hole?

I just like to aggravate liberal Democrats like you. Seems to be working.

JR Thanks for making my point. BTW, I'm not a Democrat. Keep trying.

I'm strong on Beretta. My 20 ga. 687 SP II Sporting may just be the perfect dove gun. Used exclusively twice, for eight shoots each time, in Argentina. Never once has it failed me in any way. I love my S X Ss, but that O/U will never leave my stable as long as I'm alive. Stan; Why did you not tell them about the real beginner's O/U that you and I both know about that is probably the best value in the world (and in different gauges) https://www.academy.com/p/yildiz-legacy-hp-410-bore-28-in-ou-shotgunhttps://www.academy.com/p/yildiz-legacy-hp-20-gauge-28-in-ou-shotgun
