BaikalsRule90 Posted December 30, 2009 Report Share Posted December 30, 2009 hello avid pigeonwatch users... i have been offered a beretta 686s game gun for £795. i think that this is an older version of the current silver pigeon, does anyone know if this is a fair deal or whether or not im being ripped off? thanks in advance and happy new year baikal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magnetandsteel Posted December 30, 2009 Report Share Posted December 30, 2009 Hi mate I got the same gun, had it two years now second hand, unsure of the age of it but nice tidy gun 28 barrels and multi choke came with 5 chokes. I paid £650 for mine. Wood nothing spectacular probably grade 1 but nice tidy gun with no dinks. Hope this is of some use. Dai Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stumacher Posted December 31, 2009 Report Share Posted December 31, 2009 If its from a dealer i'd say it was a fair deal, as he should give you a warranty. Plus second hand gun prices seem to have shot up, (like used car prices). As nobody is buying new at the mo. their not trading their old guns.

seeker Posted January 1, 2010 Report Share Posted January 1, 2010 Have you had a look at Guntrader? There are usually several there, both private and dealer, and you can get an idea of the price range. Berettas are easy enough to date from the proof date code on the monoblock. From the list shows: 'AF' = 1980 'BA' = 1991 'BN' = 2000 'BZ' = 2005 where my list stops. So 'C ...' should be 2006 onwards if they have followed the system Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mudpatten Posted January 1, 2010 Report Share Posted January 1, 2010 Might be worth mentioning that the older versions were 70mm chambered rather than the 76mm of more recent guns. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuart21 Posted January 3, 2010 Report Share Posted January 3, 2010 Hi there, I bought the same model about 6 weeks a go, what a great gun. It is a 28" MC, excellent condition and ten years old. I bought privately for £650 and have put about 2000 cartridges through it since I bought it. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
libs Posted January 3, 2010 Report Share Posted January 3, 2010 Iv'e got a near mint model for a shade over what you are being offered, yes I did haggle down a little. Its a great gun that hasn't let me down yet. Mine does have 2 3/4 chambers upto 36gr but thats all I will ever need so no complaints here!
