SxS Recommendations please

[TexasRifleman]

I am in the market for a SxS. I used my grandfathers' when I was very young, in 16 ga and I'd like to get another.

That one is long gone (locked in my brothers safe) so I'm in the market for a new one.

I don't see many in the stores any more of course, and even searching online I get a limited choice.

I'm looking to stay under $3-4000 which limits me further.

To limit it further, I'd really prefer single trigger and pistol grip.

At the moment the Beretta Silver Hawk (471 I think) seems to be about my only choice within my criteria.

Anyone have other suggestions for a Side by Side? Did I miss any?

Many thanks as always!

If I were in the market for a god SxS right now, I would wait until Connecticut Shotgun gets its RBL model into the hands of some folks. The wait right now is over a year, but they look sweet and the CS's rep for quality shotguns is outstanding.

If I had to have one right this minute, the Beretta Silverhawks are nice. I haven't held a Kimber Valier, so I can't say much about them.

I have a 471 silverhawk
I like it A LOT
12 ga, 28inch barrels, english stock.
hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
probably got 2000+ rounds through it since December.
It's my baby.

If the RBL EVER comes out, it will be sweet, I'm tired of waiting.
There are some very nice spainish (aya?) in that 3k to 4k range.

there are some Italian ones also in that 2500 to 3500 range.

Look around, find a good shop. there are always used ones around too.

I love my SxS

The Beretta Silverhawk is a good solid gun in that price range. The RBL from Galazan is back ordered and the wait is long.

As for the Spanish guns, while I love them and own one I would avoid any with a single trigger and definitely not get one with a single selectable trigger. Mine has two triggers, like a sxs should have.

I would look for a nice English best gun. They can be had in the price range you mentioned. It can be a great shooter than will never depreciate and a fine piece of work to admire. PM me for a source I have that always has a few guns and usually has more coming (ATF forms in process). I have a Hussey Ltd. that fits like a gove and points like my finger.
