Paddy Galore! Posted May 9, 2012 Report Share Posted May 9, 2012 just bought jimbo's silpig s, very nice it is too, just wondering though, is this gun based on the 686 or 687? as i heard a rumour the "s" was a 686. not truly bothered though as it's nearly new, 3" chambered, and compared to my last beretta, fits like a glove. but... what's the difference? cheers, gram.

Paddy Galore! Posted May 9, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 9, 2012 the difference will be you will hit things this time !!!! that'll make a pleasant change from trying to shoot with a l/h 686, :blink: the brownone was alright, but the stock was made out of an old pallet they found out in the yard somewhere Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beretta28g Posted May 9, 2012 Report Share Posted May 9, 2012 I think its mainly the grade of workmanship. If i am right(it could just be the ones i have used) 686's dont have Multi chokes and are more or a cheaper gun than the 687's. You certainly wont go wrong with beretta!

Shropshire_Lad Posted May 9, 2012 Report Share Posted May 9, 2012 just engraving and wood grade I think, nothing that will make a difference how it shoots or lasts. I got a sp111 only because it was a lefty and the right price, lovely gun. atvb Paul. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paddy Galore! Posted May 9, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 9, 2012 ha ha , same as mine . has yours got twidly bits on the end yep, 5 of them Could you check to see if the gun is magnum steel proofed (fleur de lys stamp) please, because on the Beretta site, it suggests that its not i don't think beretta subscribe to the fleur de lys mark, from what i remember benelli don't either, mine says excelsior high strength alloy steel with a few stamped marks dotted here and there, from what i read in the book, they recommend not to use steel in fixed choke guns, and in multi choke no more than half choke, they also mention "beretta SP" this stands for steel proofed, but i can't find a mark on the barrels denoting this, anyone shed any light? cheers, gram.
