Mikeats, as clanchief said your current chokes will say what system they are. If your interested in Optima (not HP) then PM me and I'll put you in contact with my bud.

If they're Optima and not Optima HP, I can put you in touch with a friend that's selling a full set for a good price.

I got a GoPro Hero (2014 entry level) for Christmas with head mount. It will be a couple of weeks before I get out for a shot with it and was wondering if anyone has some footage they could post/link. I've watched a couple of reviews and the video quality seems pretty good, my only concern is that it has a wide field of view as standard and you cannot change this to narrow as with other models and that seems to be the best setting for shooting. I guess the wide FOV may make the birds look further away than they actually are and harder the see in playback (although I'd look like a better shot). Input from someone that has used one would be appreciated.
-
ok guys thanks for your input, will probably go down the polystyrene route.

My gun cabinet is installed in my loft (only place for it), I keep my guns in socks inside it and have loads of silica desiccant and a napier VP90(in date). The guns seem to be fine and I've had it up there a couple of years now but I recently put a humidity indicator in and it changed colour pretty quick indicating damp.
Can anyone recommend and relatively cheap method to remedy this problem?

I have just purchased a 682 Gold E. Unfortunately it only came with 3 extended chokes. I'm after original Beretta ones, light modified (orange band), modified (green band) and full (grey band). Ideally the older version that has a plastic coloured band as oppose to the newer coloured metal band, their proving harder to get hold of than I imagined!
-
Definitely get a lesson or two. Although you may begrudge forking out, a reasonable instructor is money well spent and may save you many hundreds or even thousands of pounds in the long run. They should set you on the straight and narrow from the start and save you from the frustration of firing countless amounts of carts into thin air trying to figure it out complex issues like gun fit and eye dominance for yourself. If you walk away from a lesson and aren't thinking it was money well spent and that you've made good progression, then find another instructor.

I brought one of these last September. 32" Black action and teagued. The gun is 26 years old, but In mint condition, I paid a £1050 for it from a dealer. The build quality is fantastic, far superior to my later 686 model and feels more like German engineering than Italian. For me, it shoots very high (even for a trap gun), I tried shooting registered sporting with it for a while as i preferred the trigger and balance to my sporter, but eventually switched back as targets both at distance and dropping were tricky to judge with the guns high POI. As a trap gun though, especially DTL, brilliant once I managed to stop myself swinging through the target.
A little tip, if the beretta gold inlayed lettering on the action has faded or gone completely, this stuff works wonders and you couldn't tell that it isn't the original finish.
-
Ok that's great. Thanks for your replies. Just have to wait for 'the one' now.

I've decided to upgrade to a Gold E with adjustable comb, and have been looking for one with nice wood at the right price for a couple of months now. My question is, is the adjustable comb adjustable in all directions, up/down, side shift and 'twist'? I ask as I tend to need some side shift to stop me from getting my head to far over the comb. Thanks in advance for any replies.

I owned a 391 for a good few years. Didn't shoot that well with it, then had a gunsmith look at the fit. Turns out it was cast for a left hander, straight out of the factory! The shim between the stock and action can be flipped over either way to cast it left or right. Worth a check. They also have a far bit of drop, so check that the action isn't obscuring your master eye so much that your other eye is trying to compensate and causing dominence issues.

Washing line extending poles on sale at b&q if anyone is after some cheap hide poles, don't need any myself but thought others may be interested.

I was the same as you about a year ago until an experienced shot told me I had central eye dominance. It's already been said in this thread but this product sorted me right out, it just takes a bit of getting used to, but when you do it feels completely natural.

Sorry for the late reply and thanks for your comments. I pattern plated the gun a few days ago. It is shooting high (as expected)but the whole pattern 100/0, and only got increasingly higher the further back I went. Then patterned the sporter, it was about 70/30. I then shot a couple of rounds of ESP with the sporter and found that I was connecting with my 'problem birds' a hell of a lot more. I'm going to use the sporter this Sunday for 100 registered and see how I get on, i do prefer the weight and trigger on the trap gun though but I guess it's the hits that count. The funny thing is, I see about the same amount of rib on both guns, can't work that one out.
-
Why not just get the 686 tightened the the hinge pin and U bolt are cheap to change and will make the gun tight as new again.
I've thought about having it tightened, but didn't realise it was as easy as replacing a couple of components. What would you guesstimate this would cost at a gunsmiths??
-
Yes I do prefer shooting sporting to trap, and the only reason I brought a trap gun is because I shoot in a forces team, most of the inter-forces competitions are sporting, but a couple in the season are all rounders and I struggle with DTL so I figured that would help.
I now use my 686 for skeet, and the trap gun for everything else. Not sure I could go back to the 686 for sporting now, I ve put many thousands of rounds through it and it's not as 'solid' as it used to be. The barrels flop open when I break it and the trigger on my 682 is far superior, I also prefer the extra weight of the 682.
I think I'll maybe stick with it for a bit longer, keep practicing the ' not very straight forward' long range targets and do a couple more registered shoots before I decide if I should change anything.

Hi, if it is any help, I shoot a Miroku trap gun. I know how much lower the Miroku is to start with, but I stuck it out for some 18 months.I was shooting reasonably well with the gun but dropping targets were always a problem, because of the degree of guesswork involved in the required sight picture (ie :- how much under). I had already exchanged the recoil pad for an Isis Green Pad, so decided to alter the pitch. Apart from changing the pad, the gun was standard. I shimmed the TOP of the recoil pad out by 3/16" using 50 pence sized pieces of sheet lead. This moved the balance back slightly, but more importantly dropped the point of impact by almost 12". You could try this without any damage to your gun and it can be easily removed if it does not work.
Is this an 'accepted' way to make the gun shoot flatter? I would have thought that it's the relation between your eye and the bead only that affects this side of things and not the shoulder/bead?
-
Remove the Monte Carlo and if you fancy it have San adjustable comb fitted. But have it fitted so it shoot flatter and then go for it.
I love my 682s including my 32" one that's set to shoot flat
Why do you say to remove the Monte Carlo? It's the one the gun was made with, I don't have another.
-
Mine is a 32" that has been teagued and has the Monte Carlo stock with a kick eez. If I were to sell it it wouldn't be for a while has I'd have to find the extra cash for a replacement. I like the gun, especially the trigger and I think maybe the adjustable comb option that Gordon R suggested May the cheapest and most sensible idea. I think it may need lowering a bit more than just the width of the saw blade but I'm sure that can be done. I've heard good things about the gunsmith at Doveridge fitting these so I should probably give him a ring.
I know that a few of the top shots use a trap gun for sporting, and that Richard Faulds asked beretta for a trap model which they agreed to as long as it has a sporting forend fitted as they wanted to promote the sales of these more. I wonder if they have it set up to shoot flat(ish) like a sporter and just like the other characteristics of a trap gun, or actually like them because they shoot high??
