Pedro Arrizabalaga 12 gauge, Two-barrel set, Sidelock ejector, Regal Sabel, imported to the UK by Gunmark, Ltd in 1976: This gun was made in 1976 by Pedro Arrizabalaga and imported to the U.K. by Gunmark, Ltd. Arrizabalaga is known throughout the world as “The Purdy of Spain”, one of the finest manufacturers of London Best-Style doubles. This two-barrel set began it’s life as a “composed” pair, but over the course of 45 years, gun #2 lost its locks and had a broken stock. I had my gunsmith fit the barrels from gun #2 to the action of gun #1. The chokes of both barrels are improved and modified, but one set can be opened up for different hunting situations. Both sets of barrels have mirror bores, but the #2 set has a more highly polished exterior. The action retains most of its color case hardening. There are minor handling marks on the exterior of both barrel sets. Both sets of barrels ring like bells and shoot well on the skeet range and on pheasants. The wood is above average, showing some fiddleback and smoke and honey contrast. The stock shows handling marks from field use. It has an articulated front trigger, hand-detachable locks and well-timed ejectors. The trigger pulls are 4# and 3-1/4#. The gun is well-balanced (just ahead of the hinge pin), is quick to the shoulder, and swings like a dream. I bought a new canvas and leather two-barrel gun case to use as my own, but I have no other two-barrel sets in my collection. I even made a custom insert to hold the action from gun #2, which I am including. Arrizabalaga is no longer in business, so this is your chance to own a gun from one of the best manufacturers in Spain, at a fair price. Price: $3950.

BERETTA S55 – 20 GAUGE OU – RARE BARREL CONFIGURATION WITH QUARTER RIBS: Beretta Model S55 in 20 gauge with 28″ barrels with quarter top ribs.

Gun appears to have been exported to Argentina – notice the stampings on the receiver. Front trigger is arcticulated. Extractor. Manual safety. Tight on face like a new gun. No loose ribs. No cracks to wood. Shipping is $50. Price: $1,350

Here’s one of the all-time great doubles – and one of the best bird guns you’ll ever find.

Beretta introduced the 686 Onyx around ’88 and built them until around ’99 or so.

Like the one for sale here, it had a straight stock and its matte-black finished looked so ‘friggin cool.

20g Beretta 686 Over-Under Double Barrel Shotgun, 28" barrels — 20g Beretta 686 Over-Under Double Barrel Shotgun, 28″ barrels

Here’s your chance to get one of the all-time great shotguns: A 20 gauge Beretta 686 Onyx OU. If you’re an upland hunter looking for solid, do-it-all double barrel, this is it.

Beretta introduced the 686 Onyx in the ’80s and made them into early 2000. These shotguns are built on a simple, time-tested design and feature trigger-plate style actions.

I saw my first 686 one in the ’90s and fell in love right away. Its matte-black finish made it look both utilitarian and elegant. I think it cost $1200–a fortune for a kid just out of college and heading into the world with a BA in English.

Since then, I’ve shot some of the finest — and priciest — doubles in the world. Are they better than this gun? Absolutely. But does a $75,000 Boss feel 50x nicer than a 686 Onyx? I’m not so sure.

This ones comes in its original box and includes 2 choke tubes. It’s on Gunbroker.com now with an opening bid of $1200 and No Reserve. The listing ends on 4/14/2018 @ 1:07 PM

20g Beretta 686 Over-Under Double Barrel Shotgun, 28″ barrels: Very good condition used Beretta 686 Onyx 20 Guage. Orignal box, manual, 2 extra chokes. overall a nice over and under 20 ga. Metal and blueing are excellent. Wood is overall good, with a few small dings in the stock.

BERETTA S686 ULTRALIGHT 12 GAUGE OVER/UNDER DOUBLE BARREL ITALIAN SHOTGUN

I’ve never been into modern shotguns. It’s not that I have anything against them, it’s just that they’ve never done anything for me, kind of like Chevy pickups and the color yellow. That being said, there is one line of modern shotguns I admire: Beretta 686s.

Beretta 686s are affordable, easy to fix, versatile, and good looking. They handle well, too. If you’re looking for a new gun that’s just about all you can ask for.

Like lightweight? Then this Beretta is first you. At just over 6 pounds, it’s about as trim as you can get in a 12 gauge double (or would want to get).

BERETTA S686 ULTRALIGHT 12 GAUGE OVER/UNDER DOUBLE BARREL ITALIAN SHOTGUN: 28″ MOBIL CHOKE BARRELS, SKEET & MODIFIED TUBES INCLUDED, 2 3/4″ CHAMBERS, 14 1/4″ LOP 1 1/2″- 2 1/4″, 6LBS 2OZ, 99% BLUE, A FEW LIGHT HANDLING MARKS IN WOOD. Price: $1,550

If you’re into “different”, this Beretta’s a good choice. Its color-case hardened action gives it a unique look. At the same, its long stock (14 3/4″ LOP) is just what most people need for a shotgun to fit well.

Beretta Custom 686, 12 gauge, OU, Italian Double, color-case hardened with straight grip stock: With a 1.3Kg mobilchoke, 28-inch barrel. The barrel is un-numbered Ultra-lite which has been properly fit to the beautiful color-cased receiver. Three choke tubes included. LOP is 14.75 to factory pad. The drop is 1 3/8 to 2 3/8’ with slight RH cast. Weight is 7 lbs. Metal is 99% and wood is new. The result is a very well handling gun in factory case. Price: $1,875

Beretta 686 Onyx OU 20 Gauge 28" Custom Walnut — Beretta 686 Onyx OU 20 Gauge 28″ Custom Walnut

You can have beauty. You can have function. And you can have beauty and function.

To me, beauty and function is what this 20 gauge Beretta Onyx is all about. With it’s matte-black finish and it’s figured wood, it’s one of the best looking — and best shooting — grouse guns you’re going to find.

I’ve always loved matte-black Beretta 686 Onyx OUs.If the original ones had any problems, it’s was their wood: It was as figured as a 2×4. This 686 has solved that problem by upgrading the buttstock and forend with some fantastic walnut. It’s on Gunbroker.com now and the listing ends Sunday, 9/18/2016 @ 9:42 PM.

Beretta 686 Onyx OU 20 Gauge 28″ Custom Walnut: This is a “Custom Stocked” Beretta model 686 Onyx field grade over/under shotgun in 20 gauge. The barrels are 28 long with 3″ chambers. The gun comes with 4 choke tubes and a choke wrench. The “English” style stock and forearm were replacement select walnut from Cole’s Gunsmithing. The gun has single select trigger with ejectors. The selector is with the top tang safety. The metal is excellent with light wear to the bluing on the bottom left on the fore arm metal. The wood is in VG+ to excellent condition with one nick left side center by the recoil pad. there is a few light scratches on the bottom center of the stock.
