Spara Dritto Posted February 9, 2012 Report Share Posted February 9, 2012 (edited) Has anyone used one / got one and compared it to the 30" version? I'm only ever shooting clays and I wonder if it makes much if any difference having the longer barrel to smooth out my swing? I currently have the 30” with Teague extended chokes in making it roughly 31" (just under) would you say they have fairly different handling characteristics between the two? Many thanks.

Iggy Posted February 9, 2012 Report Share Posted February 9, 2012 I don't have a beretta, but I swapped my 30" MK38 for a 32" version and I'm much happier with it for the reasons you state. However it's probably a very personal thing so youd be better off trying one before making and decisions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike525steel Posted February 9, 2012 Report Share Posted February 9, 2012 You would have to be a good shot to notice the difference If you want a smoother swing maybe a heavier trap type gun would help more. Not longer barrels Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spara Dritto Posted February 9, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 9, 2012 No shops have them in :( It appears that the 30" is far more popular. 3 shops said they can get them in, but need a deposit... Great... On average they say, every 32” gun they sell, they sell 30 30” guns. Not that that advice helped me one bit... You would have to be a good shot to notice the difference If you want a smoother swing maybe a heavier trap type gun would help more. Not longer barrels I think you've summed it up Mike.. I just want to try one to convince my self it's not really worth the 400 quid I'd have to pay and P/X my gun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hamster Posted February 9, 2012 Report Share Posted February 9, 2012 Another way of looking at it is that for every 30 shooters who switch from 30" to 32", only one ever goes back . Personally I don't believe the extended choke makes a difference but shoot a 32" gun long enough to gel with it and then try and shoot a 30" , it'll feel awkward believe me.

Spara Dritto Posted February 9, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 9, 2012 LOL and so the 30" vs. 32" debate begins Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
retromlc Posted February 10, 2012 Report Share Posted February 10, 2012 Personally I think u can tell the difference between 30 & 32. For me 32 is better but I'm a healthy 6'1" so maybe that makes a difference Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For what it's worth, every time I have changed my shotgun my shooting is instantly better for a few weeks but then my scores tend to drop back to the usual 80% hits, If it was me I would stick with your 30" Beretta & spend the £400 on practice & tuition.
