New to me grouse gun(Tempted by the Dark Side)

My best friend Terry is a diehard vintage Beretta shotgun fan. He shoots BL4 20 ga on grouse and a S2 12 ga sidelock with double triggers in 12 ga for pheasant.
I came across this BL3 26" that looked like it had never really been carried or shot much. Factory box with all the paperwork were there. Weighs 5 lbs 8.5 oz on my postage meter and nice trigger pull, extractors(BL4s are ejectors).
Price in 1974 was $296, which adjusting for inflation would be $1900 in today's market. The gent flew fighter jets In Vietnam for the Navy, and Terry is a retired airline pilot, so some interesting conversation.
Looking forward to shooting this on wobble trap on the 4th.
