I'm going to have to disagree with Mr. Hadoke on this one. I've shot an Arrieta for a dozen years now, on all kinds of game and in all sorts of places, and I have zero complaints. Most barrels are 28-inch on Spanish guns, but longer isn't impossible to find. If you're worried about resale, buy a good used gun and take good care of it. You shouldn't see much of a loss on it, if any, when you are done with it. With all of the problems in the EU these days, new versions of these guns won't be getting any cheaper.
