Actually Frank, it's my youngest son, not grandson...and we'll be trying both the Citori and the Beretta. I actually owned a Browning automatic in Pakistan 1975-78 with 30" barrel...never shot it...sold it there. And I did look at a Beretta as a possible gun for Daughter-in-law before giving her Ed's 16 guage Gerest-Berthon SxS.

And when Ed's not on drugs, he's a very intelligent and persuasive guy - I can comment on dealing with him - what he told me about that very attractive 1906 SxS and what was left out.

This will be fun partially because I'd like to try these two O/U's as well and I'm always looking for something we can do together. Actually to this day I still like shooting that 1979 Remington 870 (and son does too) and I want to make sure this idea isn't just some romantic notion that an O/U will automatically open the door to higher scores. He does seem to be a natural shot but like golf, equipment might not replace some professional training. I'll let you all know how it comes out.

However, If Stephen decides to sell that 1930's Saint Etienne 16 bore, as rough as it is, I'd be sorely tempted.
