Peter Skellan 0 Posted March 9, 2009 Report Share Posted March 9, 2009 (edited) So there I am thinking about buying a used Silver Pigeon 3 for around £1,400 when up pops the possibility of spending around £500 more for the Perennia. I really like the look of the SV10 and I'm enthusiastic about the technology in it and the fact that its the start of the next generation of Beretta products. I just don't know anybody who has shot one, got one or has an opinion on one. Would you like one? http://www.shootinguk.co.uk/guns/300975/Be...gun_review.html Edited March 9, 2009 by Peter Skellan Quote Link to post
danebrewer10 6 Posted March 9, 2009 Report Share Posted March 9, 2009 looks nice! if i had to buy an o/u this is what i'd probably get, I can't get on with them personally, but i think the main attraction is the kick off stock... Quote Link to post

Peter Skellan 0 Posted March 9, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 9, 2009 The cheapest Silver Pigeon 3 on Guntrader is currently at £1095. Just 10 guns down the list and you're at £1,400. I like the looks and detailing of the III. Quote Link to post

Peter Skellan 0 Posted March 10, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 10, 2009 Well given the 30% decline in Sterling vs Euro its perfectly understandable that Italian Beretta would need to rise their UK retail prices. Once the deflation is over I hope you're all prepared for the hyperinflation. Buy assets now because inflation is going to eat your savings. Guns as assets also has a useful practical benefit which other assets don't I need to handle an SV10 next to a SP3 to deicide whether or not the £500 difference is something I will care about or not. Probably not, the newer gun looks mighty fine... Quote Link to post

I like the looks and detailing of the III. The next page on Guntrader lists 2 new ones at £1435. And don't forget it is a buyers market, you can still do deals whatever the price tag says...New or Used!!! Prices are going up at a silly rate, so best to find someone with the guns in stock and buy quickly! Quote Link to post

My 4th Beretta and definitely my favourite, very well put together, handles great and very smooth to shoot. Seems to throw blistering patterns as well, not had it on a plate but on Game at the end of the season and Clays very positive kills with 1/4 & 1/2 choke and 32G 6's. Quote Link to post
