Would appreciate advice re Bernardelli as a maker of doubles; quality, price, etc. thanks

I have just one a Bernadelli Gamecock SXS 20 ga. I got it used for about $800.

I can shoot it well.

Thats about all I know about them. Don't see them around here in CT USA much.

Make sure you get a V (Vincenzo) Bernardelli. There are also P Bernardellis out there...much lower in quality. I've had Gamecocks and Hemmingway models...nice SxS shotguns. They may make a DR, but I've never seen one.

They used to make a small DR. They also made a lovely little DR hammer gun. Never fired one but they sure did handle beautifully. George Caswell has sold some of them. He could probably tell you all about them.

I saw two O-U 8x57 double trigger, at Cabelas Dundee about 2 years ago $1800, they were on sale. There was no target, or a regulation ammo. Cabelas had no idea of what type of ammo to use, and never got back with me. I sent 5 emails to Berardelli never got a answer. If I remember correctly the rib was cut for 11mm claw rings.
