Beretta 486 Parallelo

[Roan]

Hi

Just bought one of these 486 Parallelo's

What to know what you guy's opinions are on them.

Like them? don't like them?

Should have probably asked for info before I bought it...

 

[Ernie Shipman]

We love them. A vast improvement over the previous Beretta entry level SXS. We have sold several with zero complaints. VERY smooth handling, superb build quality, very "British" in their feel in many ways. Congrats on a fine purchase!

 

[Ray B]

What gauge?

 

[Roan]

12 GA

Ok seen a few reliable and work well but we see them as a gun for people that don't want English sbs handling but want a sbs.

I handled one recently when I bought my SP3. It's a lovely gun that is bound to make it into my collection sooner rather than later.

Roan if you like it that is all that matters. It likes like a nice gun to me! Have you had the chance to shoot it yet?

Agree with Ernie, handled them in London and in Dallas although never fired one. They feel verrrrrry British. Much less expensive than a new Brit gun from the majors builders, but around the same price as many of the older Birmingham box locks!

I think you probably did well Roan. The Brit SxS s can grow on you very fast and I suspect this Italian SxS will do the same.

A much improved rounded action vastly superior to the Beretta Silver Hawk line.

I handled a few of these in 20 gauge and was pretty impressed, nice round body, the two I saw had very nice figure in the wood and balanced nicely, I was in the market for a 20 sxs at the time as well but I personally just could not justify a sxs with a single selectable trigger, I was not overly fond of the laser engraving either but I could live with that

Very, very nice shotgun.

I seriously doubt that you'll ever part with it.

 

[Scrumbag]

Single or double trigger may I ask?

 

[sierraone]

Single or double trigger may I ask?

All of the ones I have seen were single trigger.

Scrumbag....Are you near London?

I live in SW London sir!

I live in SW London sir!

There is a Beretta Gallery at 36 St. James St. just a very few blocks from William Evans. Stop by there for a visit and see everything they currently make!

 

[Gerry Addison]

That is my only complaint, single triggers. All that I've seen were single triggers and I like double triggers on double guns.

The barrel selector ( operated by a single selective trigger ) occasionally does not work , if the operator is using lightly loaded shotgun shells ( such as Rio 36 gram 2 3/4 inch # 7 1/2 shotgun shells ) . This is because Beretta employs an inertia operated trigger . I have personally witnessed this occurring during a snipe hunt , last December .
