The Lovely Linda inherited a nice little 686 26" 20 gauge from her late husband. As time went on, I found a nice straight grip stock for it as well as a set of 28" 28 gauge barrels, with forend. It is one great package for any kind of hunting when a light gun is called for. In the eighties and nineties, Beretta USA liquidated their overstocks and blems at their clay target range pro shop in Maryland. Linda's 686 came from that factory outlet shop. The prices were very friendly. I have an SO2 light pigeon gun that cost me $2100 and a custom made 682X 20 gauge 30" step rib trap for $1200. Back then, no one wanted such a weird gun. No more of that foolishness, not for Beretta anyway.
