Beretta 470 Silver Hawk 12 Gauge – ULTRALIGHT, DELUXE WOOD: Beretta, Year 1998, 12 Gauge, 6lbs 8oz, Chokes IC/IM, LOP 14 1/2″, DAH 2 1/4″, DAC 1 3/8″ Serial Number: S02474A The Beretta Silver Hawk is a robustly manufactured gun that is known for top-quality steels and manufacturing methods from the world’s oldest firearms manufacturer, Beretta of Italy. There are not many of these guns being offered for sale, and when you do see one it has seen hard use and shows it. This gun is unique in that it has seen little use and it has a very crisp SINGLE TRIGGER FOR THOSE COLD DAYS HUNTING WITH HEAVY GLOVES. This fine Beretta, snS02474A made in 1998, is a notably different gun than any other you might find for sale. First, it has wood that has far nicer figure than any other you will see. It also does not have the “monobloc” barrel construction that shows a seam just forward of the chambers, which I find unappealing to the eye. Then we look at the weight of 6 ½ lbs. and balanced dead on the hinge pin and you have incredible dynamics not found in many of the newer Beretta Silver Hawk 12-gauge guns. This Silver Hawk also has 3” factory chambers and fixed chokes set at IC/IM (the perfect upland chokes), which is the way a traditionally oriented side x side shooter would prefer having their chokes arranged in a fine bird gun. Another unique feature found in this Beretta is selective ejectors, meaning you can move a “switch” and turn off the auto-ejectors and have an extractor gun at will…nice! Adorned with a bullet-proof single selective trigger, you can choose to shoot the left, fuller choked barrel first for incoming targets like ducks and doves, or the more open right barrel first for flushing birds like pheasants…another nice touch. The nicely engraved receiver retains all the chrome finish and has perfect screws and mechanics. The gun comes with its original Beretta hard case and all accessories, a $300 value. You won’t find a nicer-looking Silver Hawk and the price is right for this ultra-light, fully optioned side by side. Price: $4,250*

Sauer Royal Model Deluxe 16GA Boxlock Ejector SxS: 28 MF, 2 3/4 chambers, made in 1951. Tight action, perfect ejectors. Mint original condition. LOP 14 1/4″. Price: $2,950*

Fabbri Best Grade “Funeral” Sidelock 12 ga. O/U Shotgun: Fabbri Best Grade “Funeral” Gold Line Sidelock 12 gauge O/U shotgun. Masterfully hand-made in 1972 by Armi Fabbri this “pigeon” configured O/U comes with two original 30” sets of Bohler Super Blitz steel barrels. Both sets are identical in that they are fitted with “flat” vent ribs that taper from 7/16” to 5/16” and have brass front and mid beads. The set marked “I” is choked .020” Modified and .035” Full. Set “II” is choked .035” Full and .043” XXFull. The sidelock receiver was engraved by Italian master engraver Ferruccio Iora in the minimalistic “Funeral” style which features very fine, and very difficult to execute gold wire on a “black” finished frame. In the case of this gun “less is more” as you will surely agree, this is a splendid looking Fabbri. The stock and forearm were fashioned from a beautiful piece of walnut. The forearm is fitted with an Anson style push button release. The buttstock has a right-hand palm swell. As the presents it has a 14 ¾” LOP over several spacers and a recoil pad. The DAC is 1 3/8” and the DAH is 1 3/8” with about ¼” right hand cast. Although the dimensions are very shootable, you will agree that a new stock is in order. Tulio Fabbri estimates $10k to restock the gun by the factory. Whereas it could be professionally restocked here in the states for considerably less money! Of course, this is a Fabbri which indicates it is one of the very best guns in the world from both a materials standpoint and from a fit and finish perspective! The gun weighs 7 lbs. 11 oz., and balances beautifully. Overall condition is 98%+. In all regards this is one of the finest guns in the world and this very gun would be approximately $200k to replace. Cased in maker’s leather luggage case. SN: E463 Price: $75,000*

Auction alert: 1985 Browning Citori SUPERLIGHT 20Ga, No Reserve …

STUNNING! 1985 Browning Citori SUPERLIGHT 20Ga! 95% COND! Factory ENGRAVED!

Back when I was a kid, Brownings, Rugers, and then Beretta 686s were the classy OUs I dreamed about owning one day, and this 20g Browning Citori Superlight certainly would have been a shotgun that I fantasized about taking into the field with me.

It’s on Gunbroker.com now, and the online auction ends 5/28/2022 @ 8:15 PM.

The Browning Citori was the grandchild of the company’s first over-under shotgun — the Superposed. First offered in 1973, Citoris are still around today and over the last 50+ years they have come in all sorts of styles and models.

You can learn more about Browning Citoris here in this article from Shooting Times and also here on their Wikipedia page.

The one you see here appears to be in excellent condition. These guns usually weigh under 6lbs, so it would be a great upland gun. Here’s more information about it from the seller:

STUNNING! 1985 Browning Citori SUPERLIGHT 20Ga! 95% COND! Factory ENGRAVED!

A TRULY EXCEPTIONAL!!!! 1985 Browning Citori “SUPER-LIGHT” – FACTORY ENGRAVED!! Chambered in 20 GAUGE 2 3/4 inch ONLY!!!!!

Sporting a 26inch VENTED Ribbed barrel, OUTFITTED W/ the highly desirable INVECTOR CHOKE SYSTEM!!!! Finished off W/ a GORGEOUS “OIL FINISHED” (NOT THE EASILY MARKABLE EPOXY FINNISH) English style walnut stock & SUPER SEXY SCHNABEL fore-end!

Flaunting 95% CONDITION!!! !!! FROM 1985!!

IF THIS EXAMPLE WAS EVER FIRED, IT WAS LESS THEN A BOX OF SHELLS IF THAT!!

This is the VERY RARE & DESIRABLE “SuperLight” Model!!! Not the “Sporter” Model, the “Sporter” model is desirable as well, but nothing close to the “SUPERLIGHT“!!!

A quick way to tell the difference btw: the two is that the “SUPERLIGHT’s” WILL ONLY EXCEPT 2 3/4 inch shells! While the “Sporter” Model will except 3inch shells…
These “SUPERLIGHT’s” are OVER 1 POUND LIGHTER than their “Sporter” Model Cousin!!
Unlike today’s alloy framed & gloss finished Citori’s, this GEM is an ALL STEEL receiver and sports a gorgeous OIL FINISH that doesn’t show dings as ugly white scars the way gloss finishes do!!

This Citori SUPERLIGHT is in excellent condition! If it wasn’t for the very small handling marks near the receiver, I would rate this at 99%+. But in no way do these small handling marks take away from the beauty of this piece!

OVERALL:
If you are looking for a super classy upland shotgun THIS IS IT!!!
This is one phenomenal over/under by Browning – arguably the best model for upland bird hunting with its light-weight, gorgeous English stock & undeniably sexy schnabel fore end!!!

Browning Superposed SuperLight 28ga & 20ga – 28” 26.5” – IC/M – ca. 1984 – The Ultimate Upland Combo – Only One in Existence: Gregoire Engraved and Signed – I acquired this gun from the original owner some years back – at that time it was unfired. Since then, I found a set of 28ga barrels “in the white” from Browning and had them custom fitted to this gun, turning into the package I’m presenting today. The work was done by Browning Master Gunsmith and the barrels are numbered #1 and #2 respectively. I have hunted this gun and have enjoyed it thoroughly. The 28ga barrels are Lightning Model Barrels but because of the era they fit perfectly and I like both the wider Lightning field rib on the 28ga and the tapered rib of the 20ga barrels – best of both worlds. The package comes ready to travel in a Negrini Uplander Model case – I have used it during air travel and it is the coolest and most functional case for this setup. This is a very fine shotgun and is one of 217 total Superlight guns made in 1983/1984 era – some of the last of the Belgium guns. I guess the question becomes, where can a man find a 28ga superlight…? Very hard to find. Note: I have a Browning letter for the original 20ga configuration – obviously does not talk about 28ga barrels. Price: $27,995

A. Ward Thompson ~ Double Barrel Boxlock Ejector ~ 28 Gauge ~ SxS Shotgun: Blued barrels engraved with band of stylized foliage at each breech end. Concave rib with bead front sight and signed “A.

With classic English border and scroll engraving throughout. Well figured straight hand stock with carved drop points, checkered panels to the grip and forearm, the latter with Anson push button release, and the underside of the butt inset with gold oval initial escutcheon engraved with the monogram “R.W”. Price: $7,999.99

Locks aslo engraved “Holland and Holland” on both sides. Beautifully figured English walnut buttstock is checkered in point pattern through the wrist and terminates with its original hard Silvers type pad. The gun has double triggers and extractors, safety with the word “SAFE” in gold. The gun is housed in a fantastic Marvin Huey fully furnished oak and leather case with accessories which itself is a work of art and $4500 to replace today. This gun remains in superb all original condition (exceedingly rare) with more than 97% original barrel blue. The locks and action retain nearly all of their original case color with toning at carry point but colors still present on most all surfaces. Particularly vivid on locks. The stocks are sound and retain nearly all of their factory original finish with only the most minor of handling marks. Bores are brilliant and shiny. Mechanics are crisp. The case is excellent to near mint with only a few minor rubs. It would be impossible to find a finer 8ga Holland and this is by far the most choice I have examined. Price: $49,500

Orvis Custom 28 Gauge – ARRIETA MODEL 578, 99% FACTORY FINISHES: 5lbs 13oz, Chokes SK/LM, LOP 13 7/8″, DAH 2 3/8″, DAC 1 1/2″. Serial Number: 37459. Orvis periodically creates a custom shotgun offering with “Orvis Custom” labeling and some very nice, upgraded features. You will see these custom labeled guns made by various quality makers over the years. This gun was produced for Orvis by Arrieta of Spain. The Arrieta y CIA is one of the finest of the Spanish made shotguns produced in the true Basque traditions. Michael McIntosh praises the Arrieta in his book “Best Guns” and in fact carried his Arrieta afield as much as any other gun he owned. The Basque makers were famous for making quality “copies” of other guns, and this Arrieta is a Holland & Holland sidelock action produced to perfection. With chopper lump barrels, removable striker discs, articulated front trigger, stocked to the fences, drop points, beaded fences, sculpted frame, cocking indicators, deep chiseled, hand chiseled engraving, perfectly struck barrels, file cut rib, you have ALL OF THE BEST GUN FEATURES AT A FRACTION OF THE PRICE! This gun, sn37459 built in 1984 was special ordered by Orvis with the options of case colored receiver and skeleton buttplate. Weighing in at 5lbs. 13oz. and balanced on the hinge pin, she is just what you would expect of a fine sidelock 28ga. game gun…dynamic handling characteristics and lightning fast mounting for the fast flush of quail, grouse, woodcock, or the wild upland birds of the western plains. This gun will be a delight for all day walks over hill and dale. These guns ran over $6800 when new, and this gun has barely been carried or fired. You might as well save hundreds of dollars and buy this one. Cased in a nice canvas and leather case with accessories and Arrieta trade label worth over $450, the case adds a lot of value to a fine little shotgun like this small bore. Arrieta closed its doors several years ago and there are no more being made. You will not find a better value in a modern, Holland & Holland style sidelock small gauge gun. Price: $4,950
