Look what followed us home today

Do a search on Ringneck here, there are a couple threads. I have one, have about 4k rounds through the first one, about a 1k through the 2nd. No SxS is going to hold up like a O/U will. They just won't. (the 1st one broke, they replaced it under warranty, do a search for the thread)
Use lighter loads and limit it.
Me, I shoot SxS's, if they break every so often, well, so be it.
CZ's have a 5 year warranty, you could go through a lot of shots and get it replaced/fixed within that 5 years.
I'ts a very nice gun though I like mine a lot.

I've been looking at those Beretta SxSs and other than the Browning BSS, I think they have to be one of the more affordable, modern made SxSs available today, and, being a Beretta, you know it will last a lifetime.

That was exactly my thinking. Plus, it's pretty.

Congratulations Boze, one simply can't go wrong buying a product named after me. I was looking them over at the Beretta Gallery and they are pretty, indeed. I've recently been introduced to the Dakota Superlight and can feel myself wavering. Good thing too, as I can't afford either one and confusion over what I want can't do anything but good: if I vacilate long enough, perhaps it will pass.

It won't pass, the double gun disease cannot be cured, only treated.
The Dakota's are more than the Beretta, prettier though, but as you say, you have the Beretta backing. I paid $2900 (plus tax, title, license) for this Silver Hawk, thought that was fair.

Can you believe only 18 months ago, I thought anyone spending more than 1500 on a O/U was insane. Crazy game this shotgunning.
Oh yes, still have my CZ. Would (will?) buy another one in a heartbeat. Try the bobwhite (english stock)
