ErikD,

The Beretta 455 was a superb rifle - I say "was" because the latest Beretta catalogue doesn't list it though I hope the bean counters there didn't kill it for some reason!

I have seen one and it looken really beautifully made, though I would not be able to afford to buy one as they cost more than US$ 50000 new and without options.

I shall watch this thread to see what the experts have to say...

Good hunting!
