I received the rifle yesterday, and have a dilemma. It is perfect in every way except one. I love the fit and handling, wood and engraving is excellent. Triggers are good, sights Ok and ejectors are even timed the same. The compact travel sale is very nice. The S&B scope is amazing, best I've ever used and the scope is mounted low enough that it allows a firm cheek placement on the stock. I shot it with iron sights at 100 yards, two quick shots, one lower and one upper, check target and let barrels cool, repeat. I could cover 5 shots - 3 from lower, two from upper, with my hand. About as good as I can do by holding the rifle in my hands with wrists resting on the sand bags and with my less than perfect vision with open sights.
Now the problem. I put the scope on, and the groups from each barrel are still reasonably OK, but the two barrels groups are far apart. Elbow to finger tip. Lower barrel shoots low, upper barrel high. I'm pretty certain it was never regulated at the factory with a scope installed.
So what now? I can return the rifle for a full refund to the seller, but would rather have it shoot well and use it. Can these rifles be re-regulated? It still has some of the wedge sticking out between the barrels, I assume to allow future adjustment. Is regulation done by Beretta in Italy only? Any good gunsmiths in Canada that could do this?
