Yeah I saw that price tag. About 1350-1450 depending on finish. Thanks for the thoughts on the 300. When you see a new Beretta under a $k it gets your attention. As I shop around I have also noticed the Browning Magnus I believe it's called. I really like my Browning rifles and if it's going to take that kind of money then the new Brownings are in play along with Benellis. Guess I'm looking for that one do-it-all hunting shotgun with multi shell length offerings in case I have to reach on out der for a big bird!
