Beretta Xtrema2. This was one of those late night bids on a firearms auction site. Never expected to win, but did, and now use it more than anything else. (The picture is a Beretta Xtrema that has been Cerakoted in Midnight Bronze - not my gun but I plan to have this done.)

I got one of these last fortnight, I shot 65 clays from 100 a couple of days ago @ Fauxdegla, not bad considering the gun is too long for me, so now waiting to go up again after getting it to the right length for me, I used to scare more birds than I hit years ago, I really enjoyed using it, even though the shoot rules are two rounds up only.

Winchester Model 23, 26" barrels proofed for 1-7/8 oz of lead.
Sadly, I have to mainly use a Fausti O/U 10-bore with Gauge Mates so that I can use 42 gram Mammoths.
 
They can't get it 100% right obviously but fairly close. When you go it can be altered as you go along as well as tried on the shooting ground. Normally a finished stock and forend in 4 days
 
My current gun is an Arthur Turner ( Sheffield ) 12ga SLE.

As an early 20 something year old, I used to look at these in Turners gun shop, but the owner would never removed one from the display cabinet for me to look at, because he " possibly presumed " I was not able, then, to afford one !
 
Winchester SX3 ( early one ) been through hell and back , had one or two repairs but if it wasnt the taboo of semi auto in certain circles i would be tempted to sell all my other 12 bores ( unfortunately i have amassed quite a collection of 12 bores)
