About 10 years ago, I was browsing through Cabela's the first week of January and noticed that they had some pretty incredible prices on shotguns. I saw a Silver Pigeon V that was marked at $2295 which was a very good price at the time. I really didn't need a 12 gauge O/U because I already owned a Franchi Alcione field grade that had exceptional wood and I shot that gun extremely well, but I thought the price was pretty nice and I loved the case coloring & nice wood of the Beretta. The shotgun fit me perfectly as well. Fast forward 10 years and I still have the Beretta in unfired condition. I take it out of the safe once a quarter, wipe it down and put a thin coat of oil on it, but that Franchi feels so good to me & since I hunt with it, shoot skeet & sporting clays, I haven't ever bothered to shoot the Beretta. I've thought that one of my sons might like to have it some day but they don't seem to show a lot of interest. I suspect it's because they're good men and aren't greedy. I consider it an upper mid to lower high end shotgun, but certainly not the find of a lifetime or anything like that. It is the nicest shotgun that I own. I'm wondering what the folks on the forum would do with this gun. I suspect I know but I thought it would be interesting to put up a poll, so here it is:
