They have already discontinued the Beretta 3901 RL which was the only gun that fit my wife. She uses it to trap shoot and loves it. Almost no recoil. You can find these but beware they don't have Beretta barrels now (they are putting Stoeger barrel on the ones they are unloading). The forend fit is terrible so I bought her a Beretta barrel. There are does and don't on lubrication of the gas operated Beretta.

This is a video by Rick Gump the service manager of BerettaUSA regarding the Beretta 391 maintenance.

Since January, I've gone through around 40. Just ordered 20 flats today. It takes a concentrated effort to keep up. grin



These just arrived yesterday and since I was down to two boxes, it's a good thing. One flat is gone already.

Battue I was buying Kent's by the Pallet. I stopped because my local Dicks Sporting goods was selling Federal Targets for $49- a flat. I talked to the manager and told him if he stopped opening the flats and putting the boxes on the selves he would sell more. He said that if I wanted to buy them by the flat in high volume then he would sell me them for $39- a flat. Guess what I am shooting now?

MCH,

$39 per flat is late 1990s pricing. Buy all you can. We paid $49. for these RIOs and it was a group buy that was huge.

Redneck,

I could put myself through Harvard on the money I've thrown out the end of a shotgun barrel. Hint: I'm not that bright and it would take longer than normal. frown

No more room in the garage for anymore right now. I am sure I could have bought a small house with the money I have spent shooting.

The Winchester "Super X" model 1 keeps running for me. I have Beretta 303's, and 390's and Rem 1100's but the Super X is my gun of choice for it's workmanship.

I would have agreed, until I got the Beretta XCell. Not the same workmanship or all steel parts, but for function it has the SuperX Model 1 beat. Combined with the fact when something does break replacement parts will be easier to obtain and they are easier to clean.

I have three Model 1's and used one exclusively for a few years. A great semi that unfortunately became too expensive to make and be competitive in pricing. Much like the old Model 70.
