I have a Beretta 686, it is lightweight and I like it alot. The one downside I have with this shotgun, and this could apply to others also, is that when it gets used in really cold weather and you are really gloved up, the tang safety is very hard to get off. At this point, I have to go back and drag out the old 870. The cross-bolt safety can easily be used with heavy gloves on.
Much luck with your selection.
