The Model 87BB is my favorite out of the two Beretta's you have here! How do they shoot and handle? I'm not savvy on the Beretta .22's!!!!!!!!!

Fof the most part I like the Model 70 better than the Model 87BB. Right now the Model 70 seems to just eat anything I feed it and do it with a fair degree of accuracy. I would say groups on the average of 1 to 2 inches at 7 yards regardless of the ammo I use. I am getting groups in the 3 to 4 inch range with the Model 87BB at this time. I feel as if I have not found the ammunition that the Model 87BB actually likes and shoots the best. I just need to find the time to go out and buy a bix of as many different types of .22Lr ammo I can find and try them out. I am sure that once I come across the right ammunition the true potential will actually be seen.
They both shoot great otherwise without real problems. They go bang when the trigger is pulled and except for the differances in accuracy are equally reliable. I can't remember the last time I had a failure to fir or to eject. As long as the cartridge fires bith guns just run perfectly.
Take care and good shooting,
Tye
