Beretta 486 Parallelo.

[@Patrick-sw2qk]

Glad I picked up a old/rarely used Beretta 626 onyx, really enjoy shooting a side by side for clays …good to see Beretta, Fausti , FAIR, CZ and Rizzini making side by sides they’re a lot of fun to shoot. People are missing out on the experience.

[@matthewchristopherschulzpo3052]

I believe that's the best review of the Broken Gun Podcast I've heard so far 😃

[@lloydyp]

[@revman417]

I've had this model of gun for close on to two years now and as Lloyd says its really good for clays and/or game.

[@lloydyp]

Thanks for watching.

[@danhill6333]

Great to see you back at it Lloyd. 👍👍

Have one in a 30 with fixed choke. Absolutely lovely and fun to shoot. Good to see you back...

[@lloydyp]

Thank you.

On the wish list....... Thanks for the great review, I want it even more now!!!

[@lloydyp]

My pleasure.

[@samg8388]

I personally prefer the English stock over the pistol grip for this particular gun to retain its value and more pleasant to the eye, the English stock is used fir far more expensive guns such as James Purdey for example and by the way, it’s not that terribly uncomfortable, you have to get used to it. Nice review mate. I hope you could do a review on Chapuis Armes UGP Classic SXS

[@danebrewer10]

I have one in 20 bore which I use mostly for clay shooting, I like the SBS configuration, and as you say, if you're going to choose anything to kill clays and its a SBS, it's this gun. I suppose its a modern equivalent of a live pigeon gun almost.....

[@tommyleemaddox1033]

Seems like everybody at my place {Garland Mountain} uses O/U guns. So when I started a little over a year ago, that's what I bought for me and my boys and learned on those. Then I came across a SxS Merkel and bought it for the novelty. It's choked F-XF so if you're not Annie Oakley, it's tough with clays. Sadly, no one at the club shoots them so we've been faking our way with it. In that I'm looking for another one and Brit guns are pretty pricey, this might fill the bill!

[@tomyorke3412]

Its really nice to see side by side review I love my AYA number 1 and AYA number 4 lovely guns all the best keep safe

[@lloydyp]

Thanks Tom.

[@G.UK76]

Thanks for the review. An interesting option for a modern and realistically priced side by side. I know it’s not your thing but maybe a topic which will be of interest given the upcoming issues with lead in older guns. Best English guns are all very well but not realistic for most.

[@lloydyp]

This is superior steel proofed so ideal for the future.

[@trential789]

Great Review. I was just looking at this gun on-line, yesterday. I have some points at Cabela's burning a hole in my pocket. I sincerely enjoy all your videos. Keep up the good work.

[@lloydyp]

Thank you sir.

[@jakeemig1219]

Great to see you’re back Lloyd! Excellent review of the Beretta! Any chance of you doing a review of the TGS Gun or the the Yildiz Pro in the future?

[@lloydyp]

I would do if Raytrade *ever* get round to sending me one.

Won the state sidexside sporting clays championships with a 471 EE LL. Finally got my life dream a nice mod 21 Winchester. I like straight grip double triggers.

[@cj4freedom856]

Quite like an SKB 100 which is without ejector or 200 which is with the ejector and beaver tail forearm, made in the 1970's.

[@thesomersethunters8405]

That sbs is a pretty pretty thing.. Is there a 30" barrel option do you know Mr p? Will it fit me.. 🧐

[@lloydyp]

There is a 30, but the lop is 14 3/4 so you would need a muckle pad for it to fit you I'm afraid.

[@1valg]

Very nice review! We have exactly the same preferences in regards to an S/S :-) When I, at some point, go shopping for a side by side, this will be a contender. Looking forward to your next reviews :-)

[@lloydyp]

[@nathanhampson7411]

Mine lasted not even a slab and broke, I sent it back, shame really as it’s lovely to look at

[@stevem4038]

Good to see you back Lloyd. Was getting a little concerned that the kungflu had gotcha! Your review confirms my opinion - it's a fantastic looking gun with Beretta build quality and reliability. I would love to own one👌

[@lloydyp]

Thanks Steve. Yeah, I'm not dead 😉

[@tomhman6441]

Paying 4000$ on a well made Beretta side by side is not a bad price. This gun will last a life time.worth the money.

Agreed.

Such a lovely sibe by side!!!

[@lloydyp]

Thanks for watching man.

[@karelh4643]

Hi Lloyd, You say this is a good value gun. I’m not challenging you on this. I was just wondering as it is more expensive than the equivalent 69x beretta over and under, what makes it good value? Better finish or ergonomics than a 690 or silver pigeon?

[@lloydyp]

As a game gun? It's a very different proposition from an equivalent O/U and I wouldn't compare the two. Either you want an SxS, or you want an OU. I can't imagine a shopping list that had an either or choice between the 2 formats.

[@karelh4643]

@@lloydyp Yes as game gun indeed. Ok I get it. Pretty limited number of choice in modern SxS indeed. They all cost more than a O/U. Nice review btw. I’d be interesting if you did a review on steel clay cartridges sometime. We’re been using them over here for a long time without issue so I’d be interesting to get the perspective from the English shooters. Cheers.

[@lloydyp]

Good idea, I need to get hold of Hull and see if they are up for supporting a review.

[@bigglesbiggles4999]

A gun is a gun ....side by sides shoot as straight as an over & unders...and a good shot will break clays to the same level as an over and under if they have always shot that gun

[@zeljkovlahovic4568]

[@lloydyp]

The ideal bridge gun between a sxs and an o/u is a chiappa triple crow lol!

[@mchughcb]

@@lloydyp Well then, get your hands on a Fabarm Classis 20 with a pistol grip. I found it was a far better game gun than the 12G parallelo.

I like these guns but if you're really against a straight stock, a prince of Wales stock is far more forgiving to a side by sides asthetics.

Looks attractive accept for the ejectors, 3" chambers, grip, wide fore-stock and the screw-ins?!? You've taken a game gun that should feel like a svelte, agile, young lass with curves in all the right places and turned her into that Shrek girl!! SOMEONE explain "the advantages" of those aforementioned abominations you gushed over in a shotgun intended to be a game gun, especially in the diminutive gauges? Again, NOT a clays gun. If you want to shoot clays, why not use a clays gun? If you want a sweet game gun, the features on this particular gun are offensive/detractive. To be fair - from this end of this medium - that gun appears to have the feel of a boat oar! FEEL is what true game guns are ALL about. They aren't synthetic, like clays guns. FEEL is what makes game guns sumptuous, a joy to carry, hold and deploy. FEEL lends itself to an experience that completely overshadows sterile stats. If you want numbers, buy a numbers/clays gun. Furthermore, that boat-dock-of-a-fore-stock is downright ugly too! It should be a sliver. 3" shells won't make you a more effective gunner. Actually, they do the opposite. Spend your time learning to be more effective rather than relying on hot rounds that actually compromise downfield performance. Learn HOW to shoot as well as what to shoot. So, let's just suggest that I get the rare access to a private "piece of heaven" to rough shoot game birds. There I am with my ejectors gun. The bird(s) lift and boom...boom! Open that gun quickly because.....um...hmmm....why? By-the-way, the landowner is going to be just thrilled to find your empty hulls in his fields, isn't he? Oh...wait...your going to trap or catch them right? ...sure you are.... Add to this that you might actually enjoy reloading. I guess you better be proficient at catching or better yet, hunting ejected hulls rather than birds. You know exactly what I speak of. ;) OR....you could get extractors! (Duuh...) Screw-in chokes...I've saved the best for last. So, I can "rough shoot" my game guns at anything from pheasants to quail/woodcock with one set of chokes simply because modern shot-shells offer a FAR wider spectrum of variety/performance than chokes ever will. It's back to school again for you. Do you know what screw-in chokes remind me of? They remind me of those really colourful, fancy, cool, fishing lures that are wonderful at luring buyers but literally scare fish out of their scales! :) That said, I quite enjoy your vids Sir! Thank you.

[@michaelhall3586]

Thanks for your input Shug! ... You take yourself far too seriously pal! Just go out and shoot and stop being a condescending snob!
