Big Al Posted December 7, 2020 Report Share Posted December 7, 2020 I remember entering a Shooting Times competition back in the late 80s or early 90s when you had to select your perfect gun. As a confirmed Browning user now, I'm not ashamed to admit that I chose the Beretta Essential for its 3 inch chamber and all round versatility! I was wondering if there are many of these babies in use? I've never even shot one but I've a sentimental longing to have a blatter with one.

Adrian Foster Posted December 7, 2020 Report Share Posted December 7, 2020 Yes. I have a 28inch 12 guage which I use for 'teaching' right handers (my guns are lefties). It's been serviced up to a good state but shows its age - its a field gun which has spent plenty of time in the field. By all means try one but the barrels are light - they lack the mid rib of the better 686s. I would prefer 30 inch but the 28 inch set is great for newbies.
