Thanks tides edge it’s a pity I didn’t know The beaver tail definitely fits my hand better as well As in my previous post the gunsmith fitted a damaged forend just to try and it changed the whole feel of the sporter He actually told me when the beretta sales man was in the shop last year and asked if he had any suggestions the gunsmith told him that a lot of people would prefer a beaver tail over the Schnabel for New silver pigeon sporters Something to think 🤔 about 👍 Edited May 26 by Gerry78 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old Boggy Posted July 28 Report Share Posted July 28 I must admit that I was expecting a much wider one being a beaver tail but that certainly looks the part and has been nicely made. Lots better than a schnabel in my opinion. Well done for persevering with it and thanks for posting. OB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
