nugget Posted January 6, 2012 Report Share Posted January 6, 2012 Hi all Can anyone give me any info on the bettinsoli , I've been looking at the dimond model and was wondering if it's a reliable gun for the field Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ciaran Posted January 6, 2012 Report Share Posted January 6, 2012 My dad had 2 bettinsolis, as far as Im concerned I think they are a reliable gun and don't break the bank. The only problem I didn't like about them is the safety on them. If you get a chance to see one you might know what I wean or you might like it!

cant hit rabbits 123 Posted January 6, 2012 Report Share Posted January 6, 2012 I had a diamond model, and it was fantastic. Very reliable and not to heavy. Only sold it as the Onyx fits me better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tomhw100 Posted January 6, 2012 Report Share Posted January 6, 2012 (edited) Hi I had a bettinsolli diamond 12g they're alot of gun for the price i think i payed £600 for mine and i couldnt fault it. The only down side i had with mine was once i bought my new beretta the choking seemed alot better than the bettinsoli and the shot pattern more consistent other than that though i didnt have a problem.

saggy61 Posted January 6, 2012 Report Share Posted January 6, 2012 Go for it you won’t be disappointed for the money I have had mine for about 10 years and my father has had his for around 15 years and they both have had a battering on the marshes and out in the pigeon fields, neither of them has let us down once. Go for it fill your boots Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davey B Posted January 7, 2012 Report Share Posted January 7, 2012 I bought the one from can't hit rabbits just before Christmas and I'm very happy with it.

HDAV Posted January 7, 2012 Report Share Posted January 7, 2012 (edited) They have have been known to have reliability issues double discharging etc. always look nice but £600 I would spend elsewhere. Have a search for a wider range of views. http://forums.pigeonwatch.co.uk/forums/index.php?/topic/181182-problem-with-bettinsoli-diamond-x/page__p__1533212__hl__bettinsoli__fromsearch__1#entry1533212 Edited January 7, 2012 by HDAV Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gemini52 Posted January 7, 2012 Report Share Posted January 7, 2012 I have had three bettinsolis they do have issues with the rebound springs,basically they are to strong and can cause miss fires a friend had to get his done last month,the last one i had the top barrel used to miss fire so had to get it done weaker springs sort out the problems but to be fair for the money there fine.

Stuart M Posted January 8, 2012 Report Share Posted January 8, 2012 I've had my Diamond from new for 3yrs put a couple of thousand cartidges through it, mostly 28gm. Its been totally reliable. Its A nice looking gun. Its my keeper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisAsh Posted January 8, 2012 Report Share Posted January 8, 2012 Not sure about the rebound springs as they or at least mine is a mechanical reset, put safety caps in fire one barrel then the other so not recoil reset for second barrel Had mine just over 2.5 years few thousand through it with no fauls, only seen two posts abouth firing both barrels at same time, both were old guns and myself seen far more expensive guns shoot both barrels in last few years so do not think a design fault by Bettinsoli As far as I can see a good quality gun that probably equalls the lower end Browning's and Beretta's at near half the price, all that expensive marketing from the big two must be charged for by buyers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ciaran Posted January 9, 2012 Report Share Posted January 9, 2012 I had actually forgot to say that it had fired the two barrels on me a couple of times, I just assumed that it was something that I was maybe doing wrong, as it never seemed to happen to my dad!..
