Beretta and their holdings, benelli, franchi, stoeger sako, tikka, are going down hill at least availablity wise. Most of their products are now dealer direct, wit the exception of the pistols, which most people don't want anyhow. You have to be a BIG dealer like cabelas, gander mountain, dicks bass pro wally world ect. to get their products. The little guys can't get the stuff because they won't sell to the distributors they use, and they can't afford to stock the guns. The shop I use tried to get a 1 shot order for 32000$ they told him to pound sand becuase he isn't one of their dealers, and can't afford the overhead to become a "beretta" dealer. It's pretty bad when a compamy turns you away with cash in hand because you're not one of "their" dealers
Sorry about the rant but some of these companies just piss me off
