new over/under

I'm thinking of getting one, I don't need it really because my beretta 391 20 guage is just a year old, but I figure I'm single (at least for now), have very few bills and have several extra dollars aroudn so why not go ahead and get it.
Anyway I went looking today and I don't know if I want a 20 guage or a 28. My urrent birdgun is a 20, I woudl like to have a 28 someday, mostly just to say i have one, but I have hunted with one and I liked it. Anyway here is what I found today:

NEW: Beretta 686 Onyx 20 guage, very pretty. about the same wieght as my 391 Urika about $1400 or $1500 range
New: Beretta Whitewing 20 guage, not as pretty as the 686 but a few hundred dollars cheaper.
New: Rizzini 28 guage, one with a color case hardened finish the other sith a stainless or nickel something, actually it says Sig Arms onit but it's made by Rizzini, $1800 for either one.
Used: Winchester 101 12 guage with the full bbl. tubes for a 20,
28 guage and a .410 bore. Basicly the option of four guns in one, but good God the thing was heavy. It was purty though for $1600.
Looked at a Franchi O/U 12 guage, didn't like it at all.

Of these I am strongly thinking of the Rizzini, I'm just looking for the nice gun, probably not going to use it on every hunt but then again I might. The little Rizzini was sharp too, both had fixed chokes in them but the guy (who was a master gunsmith) said that coudl be easily changed for a few hundred bucks, he said you probably won't neeed to though.
The whitewing was nice too, but I don't know if I want another 20 or not, I have two already.
What do yall think?

Thursday I found a Rizzini in 20 guage just like teh 28 guage I had looked at the day before. About the same price too.

Still don't know which one of 5 I want. Tough decisions to be made here.

I recently purchased a Berreta Whitewing 20 gauge and love it . Nice and light and when you bring the gun up it is right on. The Whitewing has been discontinued and the link pear gave you shows a used Whitewing for a great price. If I was still in the market, I would look into that gun.

A good deal, but not as good as the one Grant got on the Franchi.

Thats a REAL pretty gun. We had a gun party in our Motel room last weekend, evrybody pulling out (and assembling) their favorite gun. (showing off!) Where were you Greg J?

Yep, that gun looked brand new and cost half the price of a new one… I got the hook up! :cheers:
