Scully Posted March 2, 2014 Report Share Posted March 2, 2014 Im not particularly a beretta fan but came across a lovely example of the above at a local RFD. It is black actioned wirh multi choke ported barrels. A very wide rib and comes up bang on the button. Nice dark if somewhat plain wood and a brass escutcheon in the stock. Anyone have or had one?

Wiltsmark Posted March 2, 2014 Report Share Posted March 2, 2014 A mate of mine has one, I think by your description it is a "Supersport", nice gun in its day and still is now. There is a distinctive sound to it when shot, I'm guessing because of the ported barrels. My mate has named his "Teabag" due to the perforations!!!. What was the asking price because they do hold there value? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scully Posted March 2, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 2, 2014 What was the asking price because they do hold there value? I stand corrected; youre right, it is a Supersport.Had a browse on GT and found another very similar, complete with ported barrels.RFD has only had it a day or two and doesnt know as yet what to price it at. Many thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

g fletch Posted March 2, 2014 Report Share Posted March 2, 2014 I have one with the silver side plate 32"sporter with a lovely piece of wood, it is a classic and if it is the right price have it!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wiltsmark Posted March 2, 2014 Report Share Posted March 2, 2014 I'm going to hazard a guess that it goes up for £1000 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welshwarrior Posted March 2, 2014 Report Share Posted March 2, 2014 £900 to £1200 the ported barrels normally lower the price great gun mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keithkilvo1 Posted March 2, 2014 Report Share Posted March 2, 2014 Nice gun I bought one last week for sporting and skeet. Multi choke 28" barrels in mint condition got some Rhino ported chokes for it. Used it today at sporting and skeet was right on the button very pleased. A quality piece of kit made in the era when Beretta made excellent quality guns, not like the rubbish they churn out nowadays. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chesterse Posted March 2, 2014 Report Share Posted March 2, 2014 I've got both the supersport and the silver action 682 in 30", great classic clay guns. Agreed a grand +/- is about the mark depending on condition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RAMMER BURT Posted March 2, 2014 Report Share Posted March 2, 2014 ported barrels come as factory standard so not a problem from resale value,these are nice guns Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shaun4860 Posted March 2, 2014 Report Share Posted March 2, 2014 Speaking as a diehard Browning fan The 682 before the gold E was the best they produced (Excluding the SO series and the ASE) They went slim action with the gold E and spoiled a great gun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chesterse Posted March 2, 2014 Report Share Posted March 2, 2014 There were two models of the supersport, the Mk1 was not ported the Mk 2 was. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I keep hearing of the old spec being somehow superior mechanically and better made but can't say I noticed any difference in that department. The Supersport version of the old 682 is well worth a look as it has lovely handling, I have never seen a 32" version but would snap it up.

Yes I changed over the new one was that good I traded it in for my old silver action with more weight between the hands it handled much better that the E model.

The reason I said they had spoilt it is purely a personal one I can't get away with slimmer actioned guns, they don't "feel" right to me which is why I prefer a Browning/Miroku Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The trouble with the old one is not the action rather the barrels which made the guns feel nose heavy especially in 32" format, the E solved that issue by removing some rib amongst other things. I love the old guns but a common quip was that they handled like a 4x2 ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love the old guns but a common quip was that they handled like a 4x2 ! I have 3 of them in 28 and 29.5" and the certainly don't feel muzzle heavy nor do the others I know of most Olympic Skeet shooters one at the top of his game in England. I agree that mine that has a second set of barrels in 32" are slightly front heavy but I like that for Sporting or FITAS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scully Posted March 5, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 5, 2014 RFD has just texted me to say he is wanting as close to a grand as he can get for it. Will take some mates and go and have another look. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bostonmick Posted March 5, 2014 Report Share Posted March 5, 2014 I have a 682 to be honest you just can't miss with them.its almost cheating really.atb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rwade545 Posted March 5, 2014 Report Share Posted March 5, 2014 Know its not quite the same gun but I just got a 682 gold e with 30" barrels, shoots great, feels great, already doing better with it then my 687 el. You won't go wrong with it if it fits and you like it- and if you don't you can sell it on for not much less they you bought it for, thats the joy of second hand berettas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samboy Posted March 5, 2014 Report Share Posted March 5, 2014 Ive had 3 Berettas and wish id never sold them. I saw a 682 Supersport for sale recently at £1000 but was not prepared to travel 200 miles to see it. Only because one persons lovely condition may not be anothers.

stu nesling Posted March 5, 2014 Report Share Posted March 5, 2014 Good luck with the viewing, great gun. I have had a mk1 28inch supersport for nearly 25 years and its still as good as it was when new. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
