Specifically, the Onyx. Here's the deal....
All this compulsory OT I'm doing has an upside. Money at Casa McC is more available despite the efforts of MD's finest colleges to keep us broke. So, it;s been a long time since I had a new toy.
I've been toying with the idea of adding a good O/U to the battery. While my 870s still fill the bill, I'd like something different. An O/U has some minor advantages for clay shooting, and that's most of my shooting these days.
These advantages include two chokes, two barrels which can be loaded for different shots, and the fact that one doesn't need to pick up hullls off the ground while shooting doubles.
Beretta owners are common around here and seem a happy lot.
And, Accokeek is about an hour away so if I get a lemon, or something needs fixing, I can drop it off in person.
The Onyx is the base model. I shot two rental 682s today and liked them.
And no, I didn't pull the forearms off trying to shuck them.
So, is there any negative input on these? I'm thinking a 32" barreled Onyx would make a fine addition here.
Thanks....
