Stupid yanks, but still midly amusing, although one of them couldhave been killed (do I sound serious all of a sudden??))
Does anyone know how to slow the clip down so we can see whats coming back at em??

That's not drink that does that!
What you been sniffing???
....smoking??? :thumbs:

With a piece of wood like this it'd be worth buying a cheapish EL with lower grade wood and swapping them.
This was my plan until I found out it was a left hooker :thumbs:

Make sure that when your l/h pigeon comes, it has as nice or better wood than the one he first you. If not, i would point this out, and ask for an FOC upgrade to a pigeon 2 or 3. Try your luck, it might work, particularly if they think they might get bad press.
You'll love the pigeon, its a super gun :thumbs:

why can everyone else shoot berretta and i can't.... is there something wrong with me?
I wouldn't worry, there's about an equal split at my club between Beretta/Brownng/Others.
A lot of the guys who shoot brownings have also tried beretta's, couldn't get on with them so stuck with what feels right for them (and vice versa the Beretta guys (myself included, I can shoot ok with my mates 425, but prefer my Beretta))
So if you are getting on nicely with your Browning, stick to it, and sell it at your peril.
Good shooting!!!

Axe, I had lessons before buying one and wish to hell I had bought the gun I was using, a Berretta Silver Pigeon.
I have never shot as well as I did with that one however it was heavy and you said you would like a lighter one.
LB
Just a note, if anyone does like the silver pigeon, and its a fantastic gun,
it comes in both game and sporting versions (with the game gun being lighter in weight)
hope this helps

For a change, I agree with every other poster on this one.
I've used Beretta Optima chokes in my 682 Gold E and they throw a lovely even pattern.
Also I don't subscribe to the view that clays can generally fly through "gaps" in the pattern.
So, save your money and spend it on getting your gun properly fitted to you.
Most people don't bother, then wonder why they only average 50% at Sporting.
The gun must shoot exactly where you think it is shooting.

Wise words Catamong!!
Lets see how many pigeon watchers will still be choke fiddlers!!

I don't find any problem at all swapping between them, and quite honestly just take the one I fancy on the day. If its a bit drizzly weather then I always take the 20g as the 12g is mint, and I'd like to keep it that way.
I can't comment on how you are likely to find it, but can provide the analogy of driving different cars. If you can readily swap between them without crunching gearboxes etc then you'll probably be ok swaping guns.
I gave a bloke who shoots a 12g browning a go with the 20g last week and he missed the first few, but then got straight back into it. His comments were, gorgeous to shoot, but more control needed on the swing action.
I think thats a fair comment.
hope this helps.

How much did it cost then?? ££
Looks good, but why not have the whole gun done, or are you worried you'll put it down in the hide and not be able to find it?
:( -
If I am going shooting I either take the 20g or 12g, but not both, and just shoot with that gun all day, so that I don;t get mixed up (as my 20g has got an auto safety on it too, and you have to get used to that).
When i then go with the 12g, all is fine.
I wouldn't recommend taking both calibres anyway as its to easy to mix up the ammo, and BOOOMMM!!!! Not even worth thinking about. They say that this is why girls shoot 20g (so that they can't get a 12g cartridge in the chamber!!)
sorry girls that was me being mischievous ( i like girls (most) and 20 bores (less))There are as you say differences in handling and swing, but I like both guns for their own characteristics.
-
chronic chokitis, don;t worry about the chokes, i am sure that beretta have all the different company's chokes to test whilst they were designing and making theirs, so i would be surprised if there were any partic advantages or noticable pattern differences.
I'd save the money, buy some more cartridges and enjoy the shooting.
Better still, use the money to have a lesson with a CPSA Coach.

Magpies, cos I hate the destructive little bleeders!!!
They belong in the woods, not in housing estates!!
-
Lets just assume that you only have one calibre, which would you choose?
I know that some of you will have different preferences for different types of shooting, but please choose the calibre you would have if you had/have one gun.

I shoot both 20g and 12g at clays, both Beretta 686
I don't feel disadvantaged when shooting the 20g, and sometimes feel quite chuffed at being able to shoot as well as them with a smaller gun, and a smaller load.
I shoot 24gramme loads (or 25) and think that going any bigger than this defeats the object of having a 20g as you just get more recoil with the larger loads.
The only disadvantage was that i noted last week that some of my shot were hitting the distant clays but not breaking them (but this is probably more to do with not getting the majority of the pattern on the clay, and leaving it too late to shoot them.
On others the 20g literally left the clays as clouds of dust....very satisfying.

Does it have a silencer fitted, if so, it might clipping which often couses poor grouping, remove the silencer and then as below:
If not, try a bench rest, and note how you hold the gun, pull the trigger.
The pellet type shouldn't affect the grouping that much,
check you r grouping at 15-20yds, there's no need to test at this stage at any greater distance until you are grouping well.
