I bought my Beretta 471 in '04 as a dedicated pheasant gun. I had Micheal Murphy's fit the gun to me & do I ever Love it! 7 lbs 2 ounce 28 inch barrels it truely shoots where I look. The balance is superd it carries nicely is a beauty to behold!
I spent a couple of decades with Remington auto's 1100, 1148 and yuck yuck a 1187. Another decade with a Browning Citori 12 bore ( 8lbs way to heavy for a uplander). Gave that Citori to my daughter for a clays gun & bought myself a 3 1/2 inch satin Citori for waterfowl. Early on I used a 12 bore Ithaca 37. My first gun was a Mossberg 183d .410 then a Stevens single barrel 20 then a Savage O/U .22LR .410.
My go to upland guns these days are my 20 bore SXS Ugartachea and of course my "favorite" the Beretta SilverHawk! Had it to do over again I think I would have bought the 20 bore Beretta.
But whatever the case of the guns I have mentioned the SilverHawk is by far my all time fav. Yeah a Beretta O/U is probaly easier to hit with but something about a classic Side by Side....
