I have one in 20 gauge. I've had it since 1977 and shoot it regularly. I paid $300 (how times have changed!).
They are lovely little guns but light and whippy. I find I shoot mine better if I run my left hand out a couple of inches farther toward the muzzle than most sxs I shoot.
For years, this was the only shotgun I owned and it shot skeet, doves, slugs (not very well) and everything else I used a shotgun for. It's still the gun I did best in a dove field with (11 birds in 13 shots), although in an attempt at honesty, I do have to mention that my particular location on that day resulted in the birds presenting like a station 1 high house bird in skeet.
For that money, you can't go wrong, given the condition you describe. The Vincenzo Bernardellis were very good guns for the money and are today.
