I'm thinking of buying a few shotguns before I have to go back to the
states.
I was wandering which of the Italian shotguns would you buy.

1. The first gun I plan to get is something for everyday hunting
a pump or a auto. nothing real fancy, for duck, quail, and
squirrel max price of $600 or so

2. The other one that I thinking of is a nice one of a over and
under. max price of $1500

If you know of any good Italian rifle companies let me know the only
firearms that I hear of here and at the gun shop is pistols and shotguns.

Plus I planning of getting two berates pistols in stainless on 9mm and a
..40cal
mainly waiting on the exchange rate to get better
so what you yall get.

Can't wait to get back to the states to go hunting and get my guns back.

I like the looks of the Weatherby, which yes, is made in Italy.

Either a Benelli or a Franchi autoloader (_I'd_ buy the Franchi 48AL
in 3" 20 gauge, but that's because I want one of those for chukar
hunting). The Benelli MIGHT be on the high end of the price range, the
Franchi will be within it.

I think I would be "wandering" into the Beretta shop...

Any "wing" O/U that falls in the price range specified.

Dang, ya' put an upper limit on this..!
