Our Assessment: This is a great over/under Beretta 32” 12 gauge shotgun. This gun is marked “trap” but can be used for most shotgunning purposes; sporting clays, skeet etc. With its adjustable track trigger, this gun will fit most adults. Except for the buttstock at the buttpad, the stocks are very nice. The metal is great and this shotgun is in the box. This shotgun is a keeper and we rate them up there with the Brownings on Over/Under shotguns!
